Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Dialogue: Of the Effectual Proverbs in the English Tongue Concerning Marriage Art thou Heywood, with thy mad merry wit? Yea, forsooth, master, that name is even hit. Art thou Heywood, that appliest mirth more than thrift? Yes, sir, I take merry mirth a golden gift. Art thou Heywood that hast made many mad plays? Yea, many plays, few good works in my days. Art thou Heywood that hath made men merry long? Yea, and will, if I be made merry among. Art thou Heywood, that wouldst be made merry now? Yes, sir, help me to it now, I beseech you." So, of himself, wrote John Heywood, the author of this work, which, 360 years after it was first published, is again given to the world. It ran through at least ten editions during the first fifty years, and was then neglected until the Spenser Society, in 1867, issued a collated reprint of the editions of 1562 and 1566. The number of copies issued of this reprint was limited. The Society dissolved itself, its publications were dispersed, and copies are now very rare. Nine years later, in 1876, Mr. Julian Sharman issued a very imperfect reprint of the edition of 1598, line after line being omitted.
