But when they saw both the consuls wounded, and Marcellus transfixed with a lance and falling lifeless from his horse, then they too, and but a very few survived, betook themselves to flight, together with Crispinus the consul, who had received two javelin wounds, and young Marcellus, who was himself also wounded.
En iterum Crispinus! I am still alive, and getting on in the world, ay, and honestly too; I am no longer spending heedlessly; I am saving for my debts, and I shall live, I trust, to pay off every farthing. First, for my debt to you I send an order, not signed in my name, but equally valid, on Messrs. Drummond, for 250 pounds. Repay yourself what the boy has cost.
To stand within the shot of galling tongues, Proves not your gilt, for could we write on paper, Made of these turning leaves of heaven, the cloudes, Or speak with Angels tongues: yet wise men know, That some would shake the head, tho' saints should sing, Some snakes must hisse, because they're borne with stings. Horace. 'T is true. Crispinus.
Second Part of Henry IV. En iterum Crispinus. The next day a note was brought me, which had been sent to my former lodgings in the Hotel de Paris: it was from Thornton. "I am very sorry that particular business will prevent me the pleasure of seeing you at my rooms on Sunday. I hope to be more fortunate some other day.
The part of the king is a very unimportant one; and it may be assumed that Dekker intended the king and the poet to be looked upon as the same person. When the accused Horace is to be judged, the King says to Crispinus: Not under us, but next us take thy seate; Artes nourished by Kings make Kings more great.
Crispinus is the chief character of the play: 'the poetaster. Against him the satire is mainly directed, and for his sake it seems to have been written, for the title runs thus: 'The Poetaster, or His Arraignment. From all the characteristic qualities of Crispinus we draw the conclusion that this figure represented SHAKSPERE.
These considerations and the like, of which fear presented many unto them, caused the people of Rome to wait upon their consuls out of the town, like a pensive train of mourners, thinking upon Marcellus and Crispinus, upon whom, in the like sort, they had given attendance the last year, but saw neither of them return alive from a less dangerous war.
Yet the soothsayers said that they were even more disturbed and alarmed at this; for when after very bad and menacing victims unusually excellent ones appear, the sudden change is itself suspicious. But "Not fire, not walls of iron can hinder fate," as Pindar says. Marcellus rode forth with his colleague Crispinus and his son, who was military tribune, in all two hundred and twenty horsemen.
Marcellus maintained the unequal struggle as he had fought forty years before against Hamilcar and fourteen years before at Clastidium till he sank dying from his horse; Crispinus escaped, but died of his wounds received in the conflict . Pressure of the War It was now the eleventh year of the war.
Not to be tedious: while you, my king, shall go to the farthing bath, and no guard shall attend you, except the absurd Crispinus; my dear friends will both pardon me in any matter in which I shall foolishly offend, and I in turn will cheerfully put up with their faults; and though a private man, I shall live more happily than you, a king.
