Enter RICHARDETTO, JAQUES, Scholar learning French.

I know this was the readiest way to chase away the scholar, by getting him into a subject he cannot talk of for his life.

I heard a courtier once define a mere scholar to be animal scabiosum, that is, a living creature that is troubled with the itch; or, a mere scholar is a creature that can strike fire in the morning at his tinder-box, put on a pair of lined slippers, sit rheuming till dinner, and then go to his meat when the bell rings: one that hath a peculiar gift in a cough, and a licence to spit.

He was a good classical scholar, acquainted with modern languages, and versed in what his grand-daughter, Lady Louisa Stuart, styled "polite literature."

The destinies of old put poverty upon him as a punishment; since when, poetry and beggary are Gemelli, twin-born brats, inseparable companions; "And to this day is every scholar poor; Gross gold from them runs headlong to the boor:" Mercury can help them to knowledge, but not to money.

Yea, many times, such is their misery, they deserve it: a mere scholar, a mere ass.

To say the best of this profession, I can give no other testimony of them in general, than that of Pliny of Isaeus; "He is yet a scholar, than which kind of men there is nothing so simple, so sincere, none better, they are most part harmless, honest, upright, innocent, plain-dealing men.

[2019] "Dat Galenus opes, dat Justinianus honores, Sed genus et species cogitur ire pedes:" "The rich physician, honour'd lawyers ride, Whilst the poor scholar foots it by their side.

"There came," saith he, "by chance into my company, a fellow not very spruce to look on, that I could perceive by that note alone he was a scholar, whom commonly rich men hate: I asked him what he was, he answered, a poet: I demanded again why he was so ragged, he told me this kind of learning never made any man rich.

" "A merchant's gain is great, that goes to sea; A soldier embossed all in gold; A flatterer lies fox'd in brave array; A scholar only ragged to behold.

But if some poor scholar, some parson chaff, will offer himself; some trencher chaplain, that will take it to the halves, thirds, or accepts of what he will give, he is welcome; be conformable, preach as he will have him, he likes him before a million of others; for the host is always best cheap: and then as Hierom said to Cromatius, patella dignum operculum, such a patron, such a clerk; the cure is well supplied, and all parties pleased.

Henceforward Hans was to be a scholar, and his joy indeed was great.

We can all of us remember it to be tedious, but in those days it was so even more than now; since there were no such things as spelling books, and children's story books to help on the young scholar, and the letters were not as plainly written, nor of such a simple form as our English letters.
