Satiro-Mastix; or, the Vntrussing of the Humorous Poet
Dekker, Thomas
Jonson, Ben, 1573?-1637
which is none of Gods Angels: Prof. ~Bang~ meint, dass Dekker hier
wohl eine Stelle aus ~Chapman’s~ _Blind Beggar of Alexandria_ 1598
parodieren wird. In diesem Stück kommt eine Figur (Count) vor, deren
_«most dangerous humour» of pistoling_ des öftern erwähnt wird, und
schliesslich versteigt sie sich zu dem Schwur: ... _by this pistol
which is God’s angell_ (~Pearson~, vol. I, 33; ~Shepherd~, vol. I, 14).
[~Percy Simpson~ versucht in ~Williams~, _Specimens of the Elisab.
Drama_, Ox. 1905, p. 507 eine andere Erklärung: Mild expressions such
as ‘by this light’ were invented to avoid profanity; the practice gave
scope to much ingenuity on the part of the wits, and Asinius tries to
ape the fashion.] Der ob. Ausdruck findet sich auch sonst bei ~Dekker~:
_North-ward Hoe_ (~Pearson~, vol. III. 26) _Capt..._ by this Iron
(which is none a gods Angell).
=348.= farder; um 1600 gewöhnliche Schreibung für farther.
=350.= Asinius wird in seinen Worten unterbrochen.
=353.= besser: ist,
=358.= Vgl. dazu den Beginn des III. Aktes i. _Poet._ (M. S. p. 296).
Crispinus stellt Horace als scholar, new turned poet, u. satirist vor
und fährt fort: _I write just in thy vein, I. I am for your «Odes», or
your «Sermones», or any thing indeed._ Vielleicht will ~Dekker~ hierauf
anspielen.
=360.= Musco the gull cryed Mew at it: Zu Musco vgl. _Gull’s Hornbook_,
Temple Cl. p. 8: You Courtiers ... I defie your perfumd scorne: and vow
to poyson your Muske cats, if their civet excrement doe but once play
with my nose. You _ordinary Gulles_, that ... will spend your shallow
censure upon the most elaborate Poem ...; ferner ~Marston~, der in
_What you will_, ed. ~Halliwell~ I. 293, Muscovite zu Musk bildet: _Now
may thy breath nere smell sweete ..., thou Muscovite! thou stinking
perfumer!_ (ed. ~Bullen~, II, 415) und _Bussy d’Ambois_, ~Shepherd~,
I. 146 b: Bussy _I_: _should thank you for this kindness, if I thought
these perfumed musk-cats (being out of this privilege) durts but once
mew at us._ Vgl. auch das Muske-cod Z. 963. In _Ev. Man out_, Induct,
p. 121: _Mitis, note me, if ... you can espy a gallant ... who ...
cries mew, and nods._ ~Williams~ gibt in seinen _Specimens_ p. 508 noch
folg. Beispiel: ~Day~, _Parliament of Bees_: ‘The Author’s Commission
to his Bees’ (ed. ~Bullen~, p. 7.), ‘If then they mew, reply not you
but bring their names to me’. Siehe auch Anm. z. Z. 29.
=361.= Das Rooke, welches sich auch Z. 431 u. 967 findet scheint ein
Wiederhall des rook aus _Poet._ I. 1. [p. 271: _shall I have my son a
stager now? ... a gull, a rook_] zu sein; cf. auch _Ev. Man in_, I. 4,
(p. 25) _Hang him, rook!_ und _Ev. Man out_, Ind. (p. 120): _But that
a rook ... should affect a «humour»!_ I. 1. p. 129: _A tame rook,_ II.
2. p. 167: _I would know ... why yond fool Should wear a suit of satin?
he? that rook?_
=366.= Palinode -- Reuels: Diese Worte sind auf die _Palinode_ am Ende
von _Cynthia’s Revels_ gemünzt.
