ACT V.
SCENE I. _The same._
_Enter_ HOLOFERNES, SIR NATHANIEL, _and_ DULL.
_Hol._ Satis quod sufficit.
_Nath._ I praise God for you, sir: your reasons at dinner
have been sharp and sententious; pleasant without scurrility,
witty without affection, audacious without impudency, learned
without opinion, and strange without heresy. I did converse 5
this quondam day with a companion of the king’s, who
is intituled, nominated, or called, Don Adriano de Armado.
_Hol._ Novi hominem tanquam te: his humour is lofty,
his discourse peremptory, his tongue filed, his eye ambitious,
his gait majestical, and his general behaviour vain, ridiculous, 10
and thrasonical. He is too picked, too spruce, too affected,
too odd, as it were, too peregrinate, as I may call it.
_Nath._ A most singular and choice epithet.
[_Draws out his table-book._
_Hol._ He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer
than the staple of his argument. I abhor such fanatical 15
phantasimes, such insociable and point-devise companions;
such rackers of orthography, as to speak dout, fine, when
he should say doubt; det, when he should pronounce debt,
—d, e, b, t, not d, e, t: he clepeth a calf, cauf; half, hauf;
neighbour vocatur nebour; neigh abbreviated ne. This is 20
abhominable,—which he would call abbominable: it insinuateth
me of insanie: ne intelligis, domine? to make
frantic, lunatic.
_Nath._ Laus Deo, bene intelligo.
_Hol._ Bon, bon, fort bon, Priscian! a little scratched, 25
’twill serve.
_Nath._ Videsne quis venit?
_Hol._ Video, et gaudeo.
_Enter_ ARMADO, MOTH, _and_ COSTARD.
