Notes.

MONTAIGNE, WEBSTER, AND MARSTON:
DR. DONNE AND WEBSTER.
(See ante, p. 41.)

ANOTHER instance which Montaigne adduces to prove that our senses sometimes deceive us is that connected with the motion of a ship at sea :—

Forsomuch as our sight, being altered, represents unto itselfe things alike; and we imagine that things faile it as it doth to them: As they who travell by sea, to whom mountaines, fields, townes, heaven and earth, seeme to goe the same motion, and keepe the same course they doe.-Book ii. c. xiii. pp. 310

311.

Webster makes use of this instance of illusion in the following speech, addressed to Camillo :

Flamineo. So perfect shall be thy happiness, that, as men at sea think land and trees and ships go that way they go, so both heaven and earth shall seem to go your voyage.-'The White Devil,' 11. 267-71, pp. 8-9.

Ben Jonson was well acquainted with the
Essays':-

Peace, Luxury, thou art like one of those
Who, being at sea, suppose

Because they move, the continent doth so.
"The Forest,' xi. Epode.

A parallel, but varied, is to be found in "Albumazar, III. iv.

With reference to the stories that Montaigne tells concerning the callousness of some men when about to suffer the punishment of death, Marston skipped this one, which comes between the two that I quoted in my former paper :

throat, lest hee should make him swowne with
Another wished the hang-man not to touch his
laughing, because hee was so ticklish."-Book i.
But Webster did not forget it, although in
c. xl. p. 117, col. 2.
the absence of the original one would hardly
recognize the allusion in the following, which
needs a little explaining, but not much. The
Duke of Florence has caused Brachiano to be
strangled, and Flamineo is commenting on
the crime and its author :-
He doth not come, like a gross plodding slave,
And buffet you to death; no, my quaint knave,
He tickles you to death, makes you die laughing.
'The White Devil,' 11. 2950-2, p. 43, col. 1.
Of course, Brachiano was tickled about the
throat, and we may assume for a moment
that he died laughing.

Monticelso. Why did the Duke of Florence with
such care

Labour your pardon? Say.

Lodovico. Italian beggars will resolve you that, Who, begging of an alms, bid those they beg of Do good for their own sakes, &c.

'The White Devil,' İl. 2254-8, p. 34, col. 2. The origin of Lodovico's allusion is clear :I had much rather not to live at all then to live by almes. I would I had the priviledge to demande of them, in the same stile I have heard some beg in Italy: Fate bene per voi: 'Do some good for your selfe."-Book iii. c. v. p. 455, col. 2.

I said in my articles on Sir Philip Sidney and Webster that it is more than probable that the repetitions that have been noticed in Webster by various editors are due to notes taken by the author in his various readings. Here is another case to support my opinion. Montaigne says:

[ocr errors]

and hawkes, as a meed of their paine and reward of
We share the fruits of our prey with our dogges
their industry.-Book ii. c. xii. p. 232, col. 1.
Vit. Cor. Your dog or hawk should be rewarded
better
Than I have been.

'The White Devil,' 11. 2098-9, p. 32, col. 1. Bosola. There are rewards for hawks and dogs when they have done us service; but for a soldier, &c.-'The Duchess of Malfi,' I. i. 64-6, p.59,

col. 2.
