QUIZ: Which influential Icelander are you?

Plotinio disse esser vn atto dell' anima, che desidera il bene, e Dante vn cuor gentile, et amor diremo esser il medemo; il Petrarca hor foco, hor vna cosa, hor l' altra.

In what close corner of the earth? King, not being able of my selfe perfectly to iudge therein, I leaue the censure thereof to those that can better vnderstand it then my selfe. Thou slouenly lubberd, and toyish fellow, what idle toyes goest thou fantasticating. These are Aretines excuses. How you can season the sowre with the sweet, and of vnciuill become ciuill?

Thou canst speake so much as thou wilt, and I beleeue as much as please mee: O what a foole was hee; yet very often the wisest men haue their breeches fall: I also did sleepe. We must confesse the truth: What else shall a seruant doe, who is not lesse poore in riches, then in vertue and wit. If you know your selfe, why deferre you? Alas my Master, the prouerbe is true, Petrarch. That some change their haire rather then their manners; and the wolfe changes his hide, but not his vice; we seruants as we are born, so we die.

Did you not beleeue me? Excuse me sir; who hath committed the greater errour, you in not telling me your name, or I in not opening to him I neyther saw nor knew? God forgiue vs, he cannot abide a woman should come into his chamber, much lesse into his bed.

Goe to, dispatch; seeing you dare not, leaue that care to mee, ile waken him well enough. I doubt you be one of the seauen sleepers, or of the kinde of the Dormouse, or sleepy Badger.

O vnhappy he, that tels the dayes, Petrarch. I finde sleepe to be the better part of life. O is it you Sir?

What good time haue you? It is true, but I tould you before that we were passengers here, incompassed with a thousand enemies, and that which is worse, often without vertue, many times vnarmed for defence and with great store of offensiue weapons of our selues. It is impossible then not to be ouercome: Neuerthelesse there wants not many excellent, nay diuine voyces to stirre vs vp and to inuite vs to heauen.

But who shall be deafe to the liuely sound of the common Trumpets of the heauens, Psal. There is also anothe, as I thinke, no lesse potent, which is that of Nature, who hath made vs most apt to seeke, and with the grace of God, to obtaine the same end. Nor lesse effectuall doe I holde the voice of the promise to those that with liuely faith, leauing the lees of base things, as an Eagle, raise themselues vp to diuine ones.

But now where is there such an one to be found amongst vs, which is worthy to be crowned with perpetuall praise? I doubt the greatest part of vs, not regarding the answere, are quicke of hearing, and too attentiuely hearken after that which carnall men heretofore were wont to alledge, that is to say, Many things are spoken of, and are promised to vs, Sed quis ostendit nobis bona?

To appeare before the vulgar and others, that many times haue but little iudgement, it is no small folly not to follow the fashion. It were better Sir that you would put on your hose made after the Italian manner, guarded with gold lace, after the humerous fashion, and your doublet with the French body, Spanish sleeues, and Polonian collar.

Thou art wiser then I tooke thee to be: At hand thou idle lazie fellow? I thincke thou com'st of the race of the fixed Stars, which moue at the end of threescore, or of an hundred yeares, according to Ptolomies opinion. Thou art alwayes playing the foole. If thou hadst remayned in the caue there where Apollo became a Prophet, thou wouldst not. And this fift I beleeue thou art. And if a shee Asse did prophesie, thou maist better doe it being a male.

O Sir, you rich men plunge your selues in pleasure, like Flyes in Milke, like Waspes your are drownde in Hony, and as Germanes stifled in Malmesey. Whatsoeuer shines dost thou take it to be gold? There is no clocke, how great or little soeuer, which can goe or turne, without his counterpoyse. We read in Ouid of one Mopsus, Ouid. It is no great matter to make such a one as I am beleeue that hee is able by fishing in a well, to catch the Moone.

I am afraid Sir, you take your selfe to be in a Campe, where by sound of Drumme and Trumpet they giue the allarme. God for his goodnesse made mee a man, and this foole like another Circes, Medea, or Calisto, would transforme mee into some idle-headed woman, to grow old in attyring of my selfe. Why I know thou hast no wings: They haue virile shape, and feminine harts: Oh, but there's great difference betwixt in deed and being so reputed.

Dost thou not know that from the beginning the world goes arsie-versie? Yet the Bees mount in the ayre to make warre. Dost thou know what this populous and common sort is? This is very strange to mee, that Land, Silkes, and Mony should haue priuiledge at this day, to make a Gentleman. This is true indeede, vvhich you say, amongst the popular troupes: I cannot tell, I doe but obserue, after the manner of others, I see that hee vvho is vvell monied, and vvell cloathed, is onely honoured. Art thou so great and grose, and yet hast neuer heard, that the number of fooles is in a manner infinite?

What would you haue mee vviser then the World? In my minde it smels more of a learned man to be reputed vvise of many, then a foole of a fevv. According to the vvorld indeede thou saist true: I thats true, but by and by it will be darke or misty, or cloudy, and then a little after raine will follow, with moisture, then cold, after that heate and thus in little space of time, we shall haue a taste of euery season. In the fountaine, or the vvell. That which is worst; thou growest vvorse and vvorse. Excuse me gentle Sir, ther is a certaine fellow come amongst vs, whose name I doe not vvell remember, who in a paper as long as the Bible, doth promise largely to further memory.

Hee is deceiued, hee deceiues thee, and thou deceiuest thy selfe. VVhere Nature failes, Art can little preuaile.

Tush, after the receipt weele reckon of all. Oh Sir, now I come with all my hart to doe all seruice to my deare Master Pompilio. I cannot conceiue how so liuely a spirit as you are, in the Morning when the spirit vseth to fructifie, should suffer it selfe to be subdued by drowsie sleepe. Why, I pray you Sir, Tas. Who knowes it not? From whence we must confesse that Aleander spake wisely when hee said, Somnus est omnibus valetudo vi [ It is the health of the body, and safety of the soule.

It cannot be denyed but if a man would liue, it is needfull hee should eate, and eating, of necessitie hee must sleepe: On the contrary, wakefulnesse is procured by the superfluous heate of the braine, and it causeth tribulations of minde, indigestion of meates, whereupon naturall heate which is the first instrument of life doth become weake, and seruing to all the members, it leaueth the concoction of meates, by which meanes without sleepe, crude humours and many defects in the body would ensue, the which sleepe is the quietnesse of the minde, and the repose of the animall facultie: Now in truth you speake like a gentleman: And therevpon diuine Plato admonisheth vs that superfluous sleepe is not onely impertinent to the soule and body, Plato.

The selfe same Eschines deciphered, Eschin. Of the same opinion was Gorgias the Philosopher: Philo also called it the very image of death. And Alexander, by reason of his workes, fame, and glory, Alexand. Diuine Petrarch saith, Sleepe is a kinne to death. Sleepe therefore being so detestable, that Wise man saide. How long will thou sleepe, O sluggard? To that effect the Apocalipse concludes, saying: Happy is hee who watcheth and keepeth his garments, Apoc. All this is true, so it be seasoned with Platoes salt, that is, our health, euer considered. Let a man be of what nation hee will, hee must needes order his life, and little will satisfie to the Nature, therefore Tassus: If the desire be little, also our neede is small whereby our life is preserued.

Why but a man must necessarily eate and drincke, because without these two offices, neither sound or sick can continue: And questionlesse, it is an vndoubted point, that few things will serue a man endued with Faith. Vse against reason beares no excuse, besides, surfet hurteth the body more then any thing else; so as he that would liue in health, must take heede of surfetting, otherwise hee shall [Page 33] suffer all distemperatures, chollericke fluxes vpward and downeward, vomite, prosternation of appetite, heauinesse of head, griefe of the stomacke opilation of the Liuer and Mylt, dissenteries, and malignant Agues, the which wee see goe and spread from house to house.

I am of your opinion, being needfull to keepe that rule: Nihil nimis, nothing too much: I know well that there are some of opinion, that the body growes the more infirme and weake, through good, regular, and orderly life: I speake not of Physicke, because I know it to be naturall to the creatures: The Harts vse Dictamus. The Swallow the hearbe Celedonia. The Dragon wilde Lettuce against vomit.

Besides this, to draw neare to my purpose; the matter of our bodies, that is not like the stones or mettals, but of a slimy, and therefore fragile nature, we are also more apt to slip easily out of the bounds of health, and therefore a rule of life is requisite, which may preserue vs, though not wholy free vs from death. I said before to you, speaking of diet, we ought to regard the complexion, so also in sleepe, therefore if a man by nature be sanguine, with a iust proportion of cold and moist, though he be of a good temperature, yet to keepe himselfe in health it shall be needfull for him to sleepe moderately.

It will helpe him much, to vse moderate sleepe, because of the quiet of his minde, and in respect of the amendement of his complexion. But how should one know the sufficient quantitie of sleepe for euery complexion and age? It must be conceiued by the perfection of concoction, which is discerned by the vrine, for if it be of white colour, it shewes that there is a kinde of raw humour in the veynes, and therefore he must sleepe the more, but if the vrine be of Citron colour, it shewes, that the iuyce is concocted, and that extraordinarie sleepe is no more requisite.

They that be of an hot age, as young men, sixe howers sleepe may suffice them; but for others of a cold complexion the vertue digestiue being in them very weake they had neede haue longer sleepe. Why hee cannot haue lesse, then eight or nine houres: Also others, that in kingdoms, prouinces, common-wealths, Cities, or Vniuersities, haue any good successe, or that from a base are exalted to high estate, you shall finde that they haue beene all most vigilant.

And moreouer I say vnto you, that after a man shall haue passed in his youth any great trouble, whensoeuer hee shall dreame in such a state, he must certainly prepare himselfe for some sinister encounter, and if hee dreame of his dead predecessours, notwithstanding any industrie or meanes so euer that he can vse, he must expect some vnhappie, or at least no wished for successe, of his principallest affaires.
