Erasmus says that Sir Thomas More, "adolescens, comoediolas et scripsit et egit," and while a page with Archbishop Moreton, as plays were going on in the palace during the Christmas holidays, he would often, showing his schoolboy accomplishment, step on the stage without previous notice, and exhibit a part of his own which gave more satisfaction than the whole performance besides.

Ille tamen scripsit tanquam essent futura.

libros scripsit nec me pigebit in gratiam adolescentum hanc scribere epistolam. 4421.
