Between these groups, on a smaller scale, come the slighter and more homely episodes, with Sir Nathaniel the curate, the country-maid Jaquenetta, Moth or Mote the elfin-page, with Hiems and Ver, who recite "the dialogue that the two learned men have compiled in praise of the owl and the cuckoo."
What saw he? the beggar. Who overcame he? the beggar. The conclusion is victory. On whose side? etc. 'Thine in the dearest design of industry. Boyet. I am much deceived but I remember the style. Princess. Else your memory is bad going o'er it erewhile. Jaquenetta. Good Master Parson, be so good as to read me this letter it was sent me from Don Armatho: I beseech you to read it.
Is Costard the bumpkin the best actor in the Mask of the Worthies? Why? Why is Jaquenetta the least and Moth the most discomfitted of the third group of characters? Dowden says the women of the Play "have not the entire advantage on their side." What do they lack? He also says, to bear this out, that "Berowne is yet a larger nature than the Princess or Rosaline."
As to merriment and significance? Is the morality and wit of the Play contributed to by them? Are they of interest in themselves, apart from their relation to the other characters? Are Costard and Jaquenetta the only happy lovers in the Play? Why? Is the King, kingly? In what respects, do you think, does he evince youth and inexperience? When does he begin seriously to be in love?
Which is the wittiest scene? Is it also the most morally significant? Three groups of characters appear in the play the main group belonging to the Court; the learned group, Armado, the, schoolmaster, and the Curate; and the native group, Costard, Jaquenetta, Dull, and Moth. The two latter subordinate groups add much to the Play. Show in what respects: as to Plot interest what do they add?
This letter is mistook; it importeth none here; It is writ to Jaquenetta. That, of course, settles the matter in his mind; but the Princess, true to her sex, says eagerly, and with a perfectly clear conscience: We will read it, I swear; Break the neck of the wax, and let every one give ear.
Are the sonnets suited to the characters of the writers? Contrast the King's and Berowne's in this respect. Does the King suspect Berowne before Jaquenetta brings her letter? Why does Jaquenetta say it was treason? Would Berowne have confessed if he were not forced to?
