'Shakspeare to thee was dull, whose best wit lies I' th' ladies' questions, and the fool's replies. * Whose wit our nice times would obsceneness call. * Nature was all his art; thy vein was free As his, but without his scurrility;
But the Christian advocates fell into a sad mistake when they fought against them with their own weapons. Without attempting nicely to adjust the degree of blame attributable to either party in this unseemly dispute, we may easily see that this was one evil effect of the Deistical controversy, that it generated on both sides a spirit of rancour and scurrility.
Shakspeare himself took ten per cent. 2dly, It happens that John Combe, so far from being the object of the poet's scurrility, or viewing the poet as an object of implacable resentment, was a Stratford friend; that one of his family was affectionately remembered in Shakspeare's will by the bequest of his sword; and that John Combe himself recorded his perfect charity with Shakspeare by leaving him a legacy of 5L sterling.
It has been observed, that Philips partiality for drinking and dancing, his drollery, and a dash of scurrility in his character, endeared him especially to the Thessalians. The rest about him are brigands and parasites, and men of that character, who will get drunk and perform dances which I scruple to name before you.
If the weapons of warfare ceased, however, so did not their tongues; there was abundance of rustic controversy exchanged between them, that is to say, polemical scurrility much of the same enlightened character as that in the preceding dialogue.
He is supposed to be the author of most of the scurrility poured out in the New-York papers against the new constitution. Just at the close of the Convention, whose proceedings in general were zealously supported by Mr.
Philosophers have differed in all Ages; but the discreetest among them, have always differed as became Philosophers. Scurrility and Passion in a Controversy among Scholars, is just so much of nothing to the purpose; and, at best, a tacit confession of a weak cause. My concern is not so much for my own reputation, as that of the Republic of Letters; which Mr.
What he did object to, and object to with all the dogged insistence of his nature, was the fact that this habitual flow of profane scurrility was only the prelude to what, with grim pleasantry, he was accustomed to describe as "serving out slops." Anything intended to cover his back was "slops" to the sailor, and the punishments meted out to him covered him like a garment.
The stately "Quarterly Review," in its number for July, uses a little more of dignity in wording the title of an article upon our affairs thus, "Democracy on its Trial"; but it makes up for the waste of refinement upon its text by a lavish indulgence in scurrility and falsehood in its comments. As a specimen, take the following.
Had Ives heard anything of a projected attack on him in The Searchlight? In fact, he had an underground wire into the office of that weekly of spice and scurrility which might be tapped to oblige a friend. Banneker winced at the characterization, but confessed that he would be appreciative of any information. In three days a galley proof of the paragraph was in his hands.
