About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886. Excerpt: ... And herein was old Abraham's happiness: What more may heaven do for earthly man Than thus to pour out plenty in their laps, Ripping the bowels of the earth for them, Making the seas their servants, and the winds To drive their substance with successful blasts?

This is high praise, but not I think too high. The poet displays astonishing power and grasp in the first scenes; at the end of the second Act he has a noble plot in hand, and then suddenly he seems to drop the threads, and all is a hopeless maze of grotesque buffoonery. In the fifth Act there is a partial revival of power. In Acts III. and IV. we doubtless have some of Marlowe's work, but it is mixed up with the crudest clownage, the rhyme, we may note, increasing considerably. A sufficient proof of the corruptness of the text is, I think, furnished by the following passage. Ithamore is speaking to Bellamira, --iv. 4, 95--105, We will leave this paltry land, And sail from hence to Greece, to lovely Greece, I'll be thy Jason, thou my golden fleece, Where painted carpets o'e...
