'Madnesse is infection of the formost cel of the head, with priuation of imagination, lyke as melancholye is the infection of the middle cell of the head, with priuation of reason, as Constant. saith in _libro de Melancolia_. Melancolia (saith he) is an infection that hath mastry of the soule, the which commeth of dread and of sorrow. And these passions be diuerse after the diuersity of the hurt of their workings; for by madnesse that is called _Mania_, principally the imagination is hurt; and in the other reson is hurted.'--Batman upon Bartholomè, lib. vii. c. 6. Vincent of Beauvais, bk. xxviii. c. 41, cites a similar statement from the _Liber de Anatomia_, which begins:--'Cerebrum itaque tribus cellulis est distinctum. Duae namque meringes cerebri faciunt tres plicaturas inter se denexas, in quibus tres sunt cellulae: phantastica scilicet ab anteriori parte capitis, in qua sedem habet imaginatio.' So in Batman upon Bartholomè, lib. v. c. 3:--'The Braine ... is diuided in three celles or dens.... In the formost cell ... imagination is conformed and made; in the middle, reason; in the hindermost, recordation and minde' [memory]. Cf. also Burton, Anat. of Melancholy, pt. 2. sec. 3. mem. 1. subsec. 2. [70] 1385-8. Probably from Claudian, De Raptu Proserpinae, i. 77:-- 'Cyllenius astitit ales, Somniferam quatiens uirgam, tectusque galero.' See Lounsbury, Studies, ii. 382. 1390. _Argus_, Argus of the hundred eyes, whom Mercury charmed to sleep before slaying him. Ovid, Met. i. 714. 1401. Cf. 'Hir face ... Was al ychaunged in another kinde'; Troil. iv. 864. 1405. _bar him lowe_, conducted himself as one of low estate. Cf. E. 2013. 1409. Cf. 'in maniera di pover valletto'; Tes. iv. 22. 1428. In the Teseide, iv. 3, he takes the name of _Penteo_. _Philostrato_ is the name of another work by Boccaccio, answering to Chaucer's Troilus. The Greek [Greek: philostratos] means, literally, 'army-lover'; but it is to be noted that Boccaccio did not so understand it. He actually connected it with the Lat. _stratus_, and explained it to mean 'vanquished or prostrated with love'; and this is how the name is here used. 1444. _slyly_, prudently, wisely. The M. E. _sleigh_, _sly_ = wise, knowing: and _sleight_ = wisdom, knowledge. (For change of meaning compare _cunning_, originally knowledge; _craft_, originally power; _art_, &c.) 'Ne swa _sleygh_ payntur never nan was, Thogh his _sleght_ mught alle other pas, That couthe ymagyn of þair [devils'] gryslynes.' Hampole's Pricke of Consc., ll. 2308, 2309.--M. 1463. The third night is followed by the fourth day; so Palamon and Arcite meet on the 4th of May (l. 1574), which was a Friday (l. 1534); the first hour of which was dedicated to Venus (l. 1536) and to lovers' vows (l. 1501). The 4th of May was a Friday in 1386.
