All the morning at the office sitting, dined with my wife pleasantly at home, then among my painters, and by and by went to my Civil Lawyers about my uncle's suit, and so home again and saw my painters make an end of my house this night, which is my great joy, and so to my office and did business till ten at night, and so home and to supper, and after reading part of Bussy d'Ambois, a good play I bought to-day, to bed.

We may, if we are brutal enough, bow down before Tamburlaine's Juggernaut car; but he does not touch our emotions; he is not a tragic hero. Tragedy has no interest in supermen; unless, indeed, like Chapman's Bussy d'Ambois, the hero has the courage of the superman with the limitations of the rest of humanity.
To "look babies in the eyes" was a common expression for peering amorously into the eyes. Sc. fagot. A common form of expression. Everybody remembers Puck's "I'll put a girdle round about the earth In forty minutes." Cf. Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois, I. 1. "In tall ships, richly built and ribd with brasse, To put a Girdle round about the world."
He pointed out however that the character of Puck could hardly have been the work of any English poet but the author of Bussy d'Ambois.
The popularity of the drama continued to attract many authors who in a different age might have produced other forms of literature. His best two plays, Bussy D'Ambois and The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois, are tragedies founded on French history. His best work is A Woman Killed with Kindness, a domestic drama that appealed to the middle classes. A Tragic Group.
Bowyer, the old man, and Mr. Mere I staid as long as I could keep them, and so home to Sir W. Pen, who with his children and my wife has been at a play to-day and saw "D'Ambois," which I never saw. Here we staid late at supper and playing at cards, and so home and 31st.
My glance fell from the painting to the figure of my friend, and the vigorous words of Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois, quivered instinctively upon my lips: "He is up There like a Roman statue! He will stand Till Death hath made him marble!"
