And tent themselves with death. (Cor. i. 9.)

That swells with silence in the tortured soul. (Ib. iv. 2.)

PLAY

1166. The sin against the Holy Ghost-termed in zea! by the old fathers.

One of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum dæmonum (devil's wine), because it filleth the imagination, and yet it is but the shadow of a lie.

(See Introductory Chapter and Mid. N. D. v. 2, 210-214.)

1167. Cause of quarrells.

For quarrels they are with care and discretion to be avoided; they are commonly for mistresses, healths, place, and words; and let a man beware how he keepeth company with choleric and quarrelsome persons, for they will engage him into their own quarrels. (Ess. Of Travel.)

(Quarrels for mistresses, see Cymb. i. 2, 1, and i. 5; Tw. N. Kins. ii. 2, 90. Healths: Oth. ii. 3, 30-158, 271-278. Place: Oth. iv. 2, 241–243; Hen. VIII. iii. 2, 238–240. Words: As Y. L. v. 4, 66–103; M. Ado, ii. 3, 190; Rom. Jul. iii. 1, 1–33.)

(Compare with the above extract from Ess. Of Travel.)

In the managing of quarrels you may say he is wise; for either he avoids them with great discretion, or undertakes them with a most Christian care. (M. Ado, v. 1.)

Beware of entrance to a quarrel. (Ham. i. 3.)

I have heard of some kind of men that put quarrels purposely on others to taste their valour. (Tw. N. iii. 4.)

Note that there is hardly a form of sport or play noted here which is not used metaphorically as well as prosaically in the Plays.

1167a. Expence and unthriftness.

(Compare the Essay Of Expense with Tim. of Athens, and note in the following lines from Hamlet several points of advice which are briefly introduced in the Essays Of Expense and Of Travel— i.e. that when staying in one city or town he should sequester himself from the company of his countrymen, and diet in such places where there is good company' and 'profitable acquaintance,' that his dress should be simple, that if he be plentiful in one expense he should be saving in another, and not stoop to petty gettings. The points in these Essays are abundantly illustrated by the Plays.)

Pol. Do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel. . . .

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice.

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,

But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy,

For the apparel oft proclaims the man;

And they of France, of the best rank and station,

Are most select and generous, chief in that.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. (Ham. i. 3.)

1167b. Ydleness and indisposition of the mynd to labors.

Tim. You make me marvel; wherefore ere this time, Had you not fully laid my state before me

That I might so have rated my expense,

As I had leave of means?

Perchance, some single vantages you took

When my indisposition put you back. (Tim. Ath. ii. 2.)

(Compare with previous entry.)

1168. Art of forgetting.

Know, then, I here forget all other griefs, cancel all grudge.

(Tw. G. Ver. v. 4.)

This is the only place in which indisposition' is used in the Plays.
