As for the literary soirée, the most profound silence has been maintained concerning it, neither of the wits there assembled having seen fit to celebrate it in rhyme, and Florio having actually torn up an impromptu for the occasion, that he had been all the previous day writing.
"And thou, Menalcas! that by treachery Didst underfong my lass to wax so light." Another reason for dubbing Florio Menalcas may be found in the character and qualities ascribed to the treacherous shepherd by Virgil.
He caught her up before she could approach the vehicles. "So you were there! Something told me you were there!" "What do you mean, Mr. Florio?" The man was raging with jealous anger; trying to smile, he showed his teeth in a mere grin, and sputtered his words. "The door was shut with the key! Why was that?"
"Florio," according to Farmer, "gave the first affront by asserting that 'the plays they play in England are neither right comedies nor tragedies, but representations of histories without any decorum." We know that Shakspeare must, of his own personal knowledge of the man, have been qualified to paint his character; for while the great dramatist was the early and intimate friend of the Earl of Southampton, the petulant lexicographer boasts of having for years been domesticated in the pay and patronage of that munificent patron of letters.
When Montaigne, in 'Hamlet' as Jonson says became the target of 'railing rhetoric, the latter took sides with Florio and his colleagues; launching out against Shakspere in his comedy, 'Volpone. This play, as well as an Introduction in which it is dedicated to the two Universities, gives us a clue to a great many things otherwise difficult to understand.
"So Florio thought, and, by way of letting the world perceive the essential difference between the base and the pure coin, he wrote an ode on England, which commenced as such an ode should!" "Do you happen to recollect any of it, ma'am?" "Only the first line, which I greatly regret, as the rhyme is Florio's chief merit. But this line is, of itself, sufficient to immortalize a man."
Florio kept at her side, and neither spoke until breathlessness stopped her as she entered Fitzroy Square. "You are safe," said her pursuer, or companion. "He is gone the other way. Ah! you are pale! You are suffering! Why did you run run run? There was no need." His voice had turned soothing, caressing; his eyes melted in compassion as they bent upon her.
As whole-souled a fellow as I know. All soul, sir, and lots of reason, besides." "How simple and unaffected!" "Crack!" exclaimed Florio. "A thorough Jacobin!" growled Captain Kant, who was always offended when any one but himself took liberties with the truth.
ELVIRA Miss LOUISA PYNE. MANUEL W.H. HARRISON. CARMEN Miss SUSAN PYNE. DON PEDRO Mr. WEISS. DON SALLUST Mr. ST. ALBYN. DON FLORIO Mr. The scene of the opera is laid in Spain. Elvira, the Rose of Castile, Queen of Leon, has just ascended the throne, and her hand has been demanded by the King of Castile for his brother, Don Sebastian the Infant.
To conclude, the happy pair were married, and half Eudoxus's estate settled upon them. Leontine and Eudoxus passed the remainder of their lives together; and received in the dutiful and affectionate behaviour of Florio and Leonilla the just recompense as well as the natural effects of that care which they had bestowed upon them in their education. No. 125.
