NOTESTO
Nightmare Abbey
MATTHEW. Oh! it's your only fine humour, sir. Your true melancholy breeds your perfect fine wit, sir. I am melancholy myself, divers times, sir; and then do I no more but take pen and paper presently, and overflow you half a score or a dozen of sonnets at a sitting. STEPHEN. Truly, sir, and I love such things out of measure. MATTHEW. Why, I pray you, sir, make use of my study: it's at your service. STEPHEN. I thank you, sir, I shall be bold, I warrant you. Have you a stool there, to be melancholy upon? BEN JONSON,Every Man in his Humour, Act 3, Sc. I Ay esleu gazouiller et siffler oye, comme dit le commun proverbe, entre les cygnes, plutoust que d'estre entre tant de gentils poëtes et faconds orateurs mut du tout estimé. RABELAIS,Prol.
