"Yes, the English ladies they have wonderful health I admire them; but there is one I admire most of all." A few remarks more, of like tenor, and they drew near again to the Marble Arch. With bows and compliments and significant looks, Mr. Florio walked briskly away in search of an omnibus.
For nature crescent does not grow alone In thews and bulk, but, as this temple waxes, The inward service of the mind and soul Grows wide withal. Montaigne, II. 12; Florio, 319: The mind is with the body bred we do behold, It jointly growes with it, it waxeth old. Lucr. xliii. 450. 83: Goethe's Faust.
Thus it came to pass that we know of the famous gardener and seedsman Florio, whose plants are of boundless celebrity, and whose cultivated blossoms outrival the famous exotics of the world. In this forest he lived, and raised from season to season every flower that grows.
The end of the scene where Osrick comes in, is also much shorter in the older play. 49: Florio, 330: 'We amend ourselves by privation of reason and by her drooping. Hamlet's conduct is only to be explained by his quietly sitting down until his reason should droop. 50: Florio, 608. 51: Florio, 609. There are in it several direct allusions to Montaigne's book, on which we shall touch later on.
Florio, the name of the young heir that lived with Leontine, though he had all the duty and affection imaginable for his supposed parent, was taught to rejoice at the sight of Eudoxus, who visited his friend very frequently, and was dictated by his natural affection, as well as by the rules of prudence, to make himself esteemed and beloved by Florio.
In the 'Tempest, assumed to be of later date than 'Hamlet, there is a passage unmistakably taken from Florio's version of Montaigne. Ben Jonson, the most quarrelsome and the chief adversary of Shakspere, was an intimate friend of Florio.
It is recorded by Anthony á Wood in his "Athenæ Oxonienses," acknowledged by Samuel Daniel in the commendatory verses prefixed to Florio's "World of Words," and she is affectionately remembered in Florio's will as his "beloved wife, Rose." Thus, if not Spenser's Rosalinde, she was undoubtedly a Rosalinde to John Florio.
The wind sighed in the pines, and the moonlight cast fearful shadows from the gnarled and knotty boughs. Florio rose with a sigh and stretched his limbs, wondering if it was worth while to try and do the fairy's bidding when he had to go back to hear the dreaded voice of old Fuss. Then he made sure of the birch-bark case, and again with the aid of the fire-flies found the road.
Florio?" "If you wish, but slowly, slowly. I am so happy to have met you. Your company is a delight to me, Miss Hannaford. Can we not meet more often?" "I am always glad to see you," she answered nervously. "Good! A thought occurs to me." He pointed to the iron fence they were approaching. "Is not that a waste? Why does not the public authority what do you call it? make money of these railings?
Five days later the parting came, when the "Florio" steamer put into the port of Genoa for passengers. It was not an easy good-by to say. Mrs. Ashe and Amy both cried, and Mabel was said to be in deep affliction also. But there were alleviations.
