EFFET PRODUIT PAR L'ANATOMY OF WIT

It was reported by some & beleeued of many, that in the education of Ephoebus, where mention was made of Vniuersities, that Oxford was too much either defaced or defamed. (The Anatomy of Wit. To my very good friends the Gentlemen of Oxford. Works, I, 324.)

Sometime the fiddle-sticke of Oxford, now the very bable of London. (G. Harvey, Aduertisement for Papp-hatchett, Works, II, 212.)

Diuers ther are, not that they mislike the matter, but that they hate the man, that wil not stick to teare Euphues, bicause they do enuie Lyly.….

These be they, that thought Euphues to be drowned and yet were neuer troubled with drying of his clothes, but they gessed as they wished..… they that lyke not mee, will not allowe anye thing, that is mine. (Æuphues & his England. To the Gentlemen Readers, Works, IT, 11.)

Since that, some there haue bene, that either dissembling the faultes they saw, for feare to discourage me or not examining them, for the loue they bore me, that praised mine olde worke [7'he Anatomy], and vrged me to make a new, whose words I thus answered. If I should coyne a worse, it would be thought that the former was framed by chaunce...

But their importunitie admitted no excuse, in-so-much that I was enforced to preferre their friendship before mine owne fame... so that at the last I was content to set an other face

to Euphues, but yet iust behind the other, like the Image of Tanus, not running together, lik the Hopplitides of Parhassius least they should seeme so vnlike Brothers, that they might be both thought bastardes. (Zuphues & his England. Epistle Dedicatory, Works, IT, 3-4.)

Euphues... is now on the seas, & how he hath ben tossed T know not, but whereas I had thought to receiue him at Douer, I must meete him at Hampton.

Nothing can hinder his comming but death, neither any thing hasten his departure but vnkindnesse. (7'he Anatomy. Epistle to the Gentlemen Scholers of Oxford, Works, I, 325.)

24% Julij. Gabriel cawood. Lycenced vnto him vnder ye handes of ye wardens ye second part of Euphues.…. vjd.

(E. Arber, Stationers’ Registers, IT, 357.)

I haue brought into the worlde two children... of the second I went a whole yeare big, and yet when euerye one thought me ready to lye downe, I did then quicken. (Zuphues & his England. Epistle Dedicatory, Works, IX, 4.)

The other [Zuphues & his England] not daring to bud till the colde were past. (Zbid., 5.)
