It + begins 'From the rich Lavinian shore;' and some few of the lines were + published by Playford, and set as a catch."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>In Mr. Thoms' <i>Anecdotes and Traditions</i> (published by the Camden + Society) is a story of the celebrated Dr. John Wilson, to which the + editor has appended an interesting note, adding:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Wilson was the composer of a glee for three voices, published in + Playford's <i>Musical Companion</i>, where the words are attributed to + Shakspeare; and the supposition that they were really written by him + having been converted into a certainty, by their appearing with + Shakspeare's name to them in the MS.

(p. 23.) + with a view of obtaining the additional stanza; a desideratum which I am + now enabled to supply. The following copy has <i>two</i> additional + stanzas, and is transcribed from a MS.

The point of the satire conveyed in these stanzas + was lost after the reign of James I., which may account for their + omission.</p> + + <p>"Shakspeare's rime," being associated with Wilson's music, is of some + importance towards settling the point of authorship. In 1846 I printed a + little pamphlet with the following title:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Who was <i>Jack Wilson</i>, the Singer of Shakspeare's Stage? An + Attempt to prove the Identity of this <!-- Page 440 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page440"></a>{440}</span>Person with John + Wilson, Doctor of Musick, in the University of Oxford, <span + class="scac">A.D.</span> 1644."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>It would be out of place here to dwell upon this publication, suffice + it to say, that all the information I have since collected, tends to + confirm the hypothesis advanced. One extract from this <i>brochure</i> + will show the connexion that existed between Shakspeare and Wilson:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Wilson was the composer of four other Shakspearian lyrics, a fact + unknown to Mr. Collier, when he wrote the article in the <i>Shakspeare + Papers</i>: 'Where the bee sucks,' 'Full fathom five,' 'Lawn as white as + driven snow,' and 'From the fair Lavinian shore.' They are all printed in + the author's <i>Cheerfull Ayres or Ballads</i>, Oxford, 1660. We have now + evidence from this work, that Wilson was the <i>original</i> composer of + the music to <i>one</i> of Shakspeare's plays. He says in his preface, + 'some of these ayres were <i>originally</i> composed by those whose names + are affixed to them, but are here placed as being <i>new set</i> by the + author of the rest. The two songs, 'Where the bee sucks,' and 'Full + fathom five,' have appended to them the name of 'R. Johnson,' who, upon + this evidence, we may undoubtedly conclude was the <i>original</i> + composer of the music in the play of the <i>Tempest</i>. The song 'Lawn + as white as driven snow,' from the <i>Winter's Tale</i>, has the name of + 'John Wilson' attached to it, from which it is equally certain that he + was its <i>original</i> composer. In my own mind, the circumstances + connected with the Shakspearian lyrics in this book are almost conclusive + as to the identity of John Wilson the <i>composer</i> with John Wilson + the <i>singer</i>. Unless the composer had been intimately acquainted + with the theatre of Shakspeare's day, it is not likely that he would have + remembered, so long after, the name of one of its composers. Nor is it + likely, being so well acquainted with the <i>original</i> composers of + the Shakspearian drama, and so anxious as he appears to have been to do + justice to their memory, that he would have omitted informing us, who was + the <i>original</i> composer of the song in the <i>Winter's Tale</i>, had + it been any other than himself. The <i>Winter's Tale</i> was not produced + before 1610 or 1611, at which period Wilson was sixteen or seventeen + years old, an age quite ripe enough for the production of the song in + question."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>A reviewer of my little publication in the <i>Athenæum</i> (Nov. 8, + 1846) makes the following remark:</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Let us observe, in conclusion, that Dr. Rimbault is better read in + Jack Wilson than Ben Jonson, or we should never have seen Mr. + Shakspeare's 'Rime' at the 'Mitre,' in Fleet Street, seriously referred + to as a genuine composition. It is a mere clumsy adaptation, from Ben's + interesting epigram 'Inviting a Friend to Supper.'"</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>It is really too bad to be charged with ignorance <i>unjustly</i>. I + have on my shelves the works of glorious Ben, three times over: in folio + 1616-31; in folio, 1692; and in nine volumes octave (Gifford's edition), + 1816; all of which I will freely give to the "reviewer," if he can prove + that <i>one line</i> of "Shakspeare's Rime at the Mytre" is taken from + the aforesaid epigram. I heartily agree with him in admiration of + Jonson's spirited imitation of Martial, which I have transcribed as a + pleasant relish towards digesting these rambling remarks:</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="i4"><span class="scac">"INVITING A FRIEND TO SUPPER.</span></p> + </div> + + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"To-night, grave Sir, both my poor house and I</p> + <p>Do equally desire your company:</p> + <p>Not that we think us worthy such a guest,</p> + <p>But that your worth will dignify our feast,</p> + <p>With those that come; whose grace may make that seem</p> + <p>Something, which else could hope for no esteem.</p> + <p>It is the fair acceptance, Sir, creates</p> + <p>The entertainment perfect, not the cates.</p> + <p>Yet shall you have, to rectify your palate,</p> + <p>An olive, capers, or some better salad,</p> + <p>Ushering the mutton; with a short-legg'd hen,</p> + <p>If we can get her, full of eggs, and then,</p> + <p>Limons, and wine for sauce: to these, a coney</p> + <p>Is not to be despair'd of for our money;</p> + <p>And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks,</p> + <p>The sky not falling, think we may have larks.</p> + <p>I'll tell you of more, and lie, so you will come:</p> + <p>Of partridge, pheasant, woodcock, of which some</p> + <p>May yet be there; and godwit if we can;</p> + <p>Knat, rail, and ruff too.

To be guilty of selling + bees is a grievous omen indeed, than which nothing can be more dreadful. + To barter bees is quite a different matter. If you want a hive, you may + easily obtain it in lieu of a small pig, or some other equivalent. There + may seem little difference in the eyes of enlightened persons between + selling, and bartering, but the superstitious beekeeper sees a grand + distinction, and it is not his fault if you don't see it too.</p> + + <p>When a hive swarms, it is customary to take the shovel from the grate, + and the key from the door, and to produce therewith a species of music + which is supposed to captivate and soothe the winged tribe. If the bees + do not settle on any neighbouring tree where they may have the full + benefit of the inharmonious music, they are generally assailed with + stones. This is a strange sort of proceeding, but it is orthodox, and + there is nothing the villagers despise more than modern innovations of + whatever kind.</p> + + <p><i>Charming.</i>—As regards charming, the wife of the village + innkeeper who preceded the present one (she now rests in the churchyard), + used to whisper away burns. Her form of words, if she had any, is + unknown. The mind has great influence upon the body, and the doctor knows + it, or he would not give his nervous lady patients so many boxes of bread + pills, and sleeping draughts in the shape of vials filled with savoury + rum-punch. Doubtless this good woman cured her patients by acting on + their imaginations. If the agency of imagination is an incorrect + supposition, I see but one way of accounting for the curative powers of + whispering, namely, by means of animal magnetism. I trust your medical + readers do not question the curative powers of animal magnetism in + certain cases; if they do, I would recommend them to read a work entitled + <i>Human Magnetism, its Claim to Dispassionate Inquiry</i>, by W. + Newnham, Esq., M.R.S.L.

I + regret that I cannot give any reference, as I made no note of my + authority, which has now escaped my <!-- Page 447 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page447"></a>{447}</span>recollection. But that + is of little consequence, as the book is well known to + bibliographists.</p> + + <p>Perhaps the most singular bibliographic curiosity is that which + belonged to the family of the Prince de Ligne, and is now in France. It + is entitled <i>Liber Passionis Domini nostri Jesu Christi, cum + Characteribus nulla materia compositis</i>. This book is neither written + nor printed! The whole letters of the text are cut out of each folio upon + the finest vellum; and being interleaved with blue paper, is read as + easily as the best print. The labour and patience bestowed in its + completion must have been excessive, especially when the precision and + minuteness of the letters are considered. The general execution, in every + respect, is indeed admirable; and the vellum is of the most delicate and + costly kind. Rodolphus II. of Germany offered for it, in 1640, 11,000 + ducats, which was probably equal to 60,000 at this day. The most + remarkable circumstance connected with this literary treasure is, that it + bears the royal arms of England; but it cannot be traced to have ever + been in this country.</p> + + <p>I now offer this notice, in the hope that the readers of "N. & Q." + may supply farther particulars; such as the time of its commencement or + completion, and also whether it is still in France. With respect to the + arms of England, which yet present a puzzle to all antiquaries, I beg to + submit a conjecture. I think it was intended as a present to our Henry + VIII., when he was in such high favour at Rome, for his <i>Defence of the + Seven Sacraments</i>, that Leo X. conferred on him the title of "Fidei + Defensor," and which all our sovereigns have subsequently retained. But + when he threw off the Papal authority, declared himself supreme head of + the Church, and proceeded to confiscate its property, the intention of + presentation was abandoned. This is at least plausible, as I do not mean + that it was <i>originally</i> designed for a present to "bluff Harry," + because it was produced before he was born. But the arms were a work for + any time; and I think they were executed just before his rupture with the + Pope was known. To pay him a compliment afterwards from any part of + Catholic Europe was, of course, out of the question.</p> + + <p class="author">C. B.

I + have tried the methods of Messrs. Crookes, Fenton, and How; in every case + I was equally annoyed with gravel, if excited beyond that time; in fact, + I believe all the good wax negatives have been taken within twelve hours. + The Rev. Wm. Collings, who has produced such excellent wax negatives, 24 + in. × 18 (several were sent to the late Exhibition of the Photographic + Society), informs me the above is quite his experience, and that he + excites his papers for the day early in the morning. The cause lies, I + believe, in the fault of homogeneity of the waxed paper, arising from + unevenness in the structure of the paper exaggerated by the transparency + of the wax, partly, perhaps, from a semi-crystallizing of the wax in + cooling, and also from its being adulterated with tallow, resin, &c. + As a consequence of this, the paper is filled with innumerable hard + points; the iodizing and exciting solutions are unequally absorbed, and + the actinic influence acting more on the weak points, produces under + gallic acid a speckled appearance, if decomposition has gone to any + length in the exciting nitrate by keeping. The céroléine process, by its + power of penetrating, will, I hope, produce an homogeneous paper, and go + far to remove this annoyance.</p> + + <p>In answer to a former Query by <span class="sc">Mr. Hele</span>, + Whatman's paper of 1849 is lightly sized, and not hard rolled, so that + twenty minutes' washing in repeated water sufficed to remove the iodide + of potassium, and if long soaked the paper became porous, often letting + the gallic acid through in the development. I have lately been trying + Turner's and Sandford's papers; they require three or four hours' + repeated washing to get rid of the salts, being very hard rolled. Many + negatives on Turner's paper, especially if weak, exhibit a structural + appearance like linen, the unequal density gives almost exactly the same + gravelly character as wax, as the positive I inclose, taken from such a + negative, shows. Not only ought collodion to be "structureless," as <span + class="sc">Mr. Shadbolt</span> well expresses it, but likewise all the + other substrata of iodide of silver.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">T.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/31378-h/images/237_045.png b/31378-h/images/237_045.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f94d5f5 --- /dev/null +++ b/31378-h/images/237_045.png |
