OLD LADY It is strange: a penny of three cents with a bow would engage me, old as I am, queen, but I beg you: What do you think of a duchess? Do you have members to carry that burden of the title? Perhaps if we had never started burning fossil fuels, civilization would have continued the path it traveled in Shakespeare`s time 400 years ago. OLD LADY Then you are weak: Feather a little: I would not be a young count on your way, For more than blush comes to. It was also possible to have too little of any of these juices, and we also have English words for this condition. Lily-livered is one of them. Medieval doctors believed that yellow bile was produced in the liver and that the liver of a person whose body produced too little yellow bile would be pale (because it was not full of bile). Since yellow bile is associated with a warlike and aggressive disposition, a person who lacks it would be weak and cowardly. The white of the lily goes well with the supposed pallor of a liver without bile and gives us an invigorating lily. And this is where Shakespeare`s insult becomes literary: a few grammars of the time focused on the suffix -as, and there were a number of puns in Shakespeare`s plays and in other plays and satires of the time, alluding to the similarity between the suffix -as and the donkey resembling an amem suffix. Collocation in relation was taken directly from grammar books of the time, in which an enterprising student learned the rules that limited when -as could be used in conjunction with another word or as a suffix to a root word. He says, “When you approach the great roles of Shakespeare, you change at the cellular level, so the place is filled with adrenal memories for me.” Early editions of Shakespeare`s plays sometimes ignored or censored slang and sexual language.
But the first folio reveals a text full of allusions and rudeness. Homespun referred to a type of simple woven fabric woven with thread spun at home, and because plain woven fabric is simple, the word homemade also referred to anything rustic, simple or uncultivated. You Banbury cheese! —The Merry Wives of Windsor, 1.1.126 Of all Shakespeare`s plays, Henry IV (parts 1 and 2) are the most offensive, which means we saved the best for last. Not only does each piece contain many lines that are supposed to be offensive, but those lines are full of individual insults, like this one. Was it Shakespeare who madly chased a handsome boy and that voluptuous Dark Lady? What a hemp house spider we have to brag about here. —A Midsummer Night`s Dream, 3.1.67 Apparently, Shakespeare invented 1,700 words, from the frequently used (excitement) to the should be used more frequently (spitting). Fuck, useless letter! —King Lear, 2.2.65 MERCUTIO Oh, here`s a joke from Cheverel, which ranges from a narrow inch to a wide ell! To make a pie from cheese, make your pie, then take banberie cheese and brush it outside and cut the clean cheese into small feces and put them in the pie, and when your pie is full of cheese: then put two handfuls of sugar in your pie vpon your cheese and pour fig or six spoonfuls of rose water, And close it vp with a couer, and with a feather put sweet melted butter vpon it, and fine sugar, and cook it in a sweet ouen. —Thomas Dawson, The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin, 1594 This engraving comes amid a quarrel between the Earl of Kent and the servant Oswald and is well targeted: Kent reminds Oswald that as a servant, he is as useless as the letter z. What about syllables? At that time, words were not taught letter by letter, but syllable by syllable. This literary joke boils down to this: in almost everything the tribunes (“cults”) have said, this character finds evidence that they are through and through. Fools. Education, as already mentioned, was quite structured in Shakespeare`s time.
Students who advanced to university learned more than the basics of reading and writing: they received a classical education in the humanities, spent time reading Latin authors, and studying mathematics, rhetoric, and grammar. Mistress SCHNELL: Unfortunately the day. Watch out for him: he stabbed me in my own house, and he did it in the most animalistic way. He doesn`t care about the mischief he does when his gun is extinguished. He will joke like any devil. He will spare neither the man, nor the woman, nor the child. was patiently born/carried a man`s weight during sex Our spiritual life—perception, memory, will—is not the work of what Shakespeare called the only “cool reason.” You Skullion! You Rampallian! Lambasting you! I will tickle your disaster! —Henry IV, Part 2, 2.1.60 Then a comedian told some of his own funny stories and an elocutionist recited some Shakespeare. PAROLLES: . Your date is better in your cake and porridge than in your cheek. And your virginity, your old virginity, is like one of our French wilted pears: it looks sick, it eats dry. FANG: If I only hit him once, if he had just climbed into my vice – he couldn`t speak for sure about Shakespeare`s height, but Keats was just over five feet tall.
London`s Pie Corner, famous for its kitchens, saddlers, and prostitution (“Pie” and “Corner” were both colloquial terms for the vagina) And. Goose? alludes to the saying “sweet meat must have a sour sauce”, suggesting that the sauce (seeds) is served sexually to the goose (prostitute) Z, or zed, as it is called in British English, is one of these letters. The grandfather of our modern z was the zeta of the Greek alphabet, which is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. The Etruscans adopted and adapted the Greek alphabet, and the Romans in turn adapted the Etruscan alphabet for their own use, but the alphabets were not an individual match.
