Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of John Lilly, Vol. 2 of 2: The Euphuist, With Notes and Some Account of His Life and Writings
Gentlemen, so nice is the world, that for apparell there is no fashion, for musique no instrument, for diet no delicate, for playes no invention, but breedeth satietie before noone, and contempt before night.
Come to the taylor, hee is gone to the painters, to learne how more cunning may lurke in the fashion, then can be expressed in the making. Aske the musicians, they wil say their heads ake with devising notes beyond Ela. Enquire at ordinaries, there must be sallads for the Italian; picktooths for the SSpaniard; pots for the Germane; pottage for the Englishman. At our exercises, souldiers call for tragedies, their object is bloud: courtiers for comedies, their subject is love; countrimen for pastorals, sheepheards are their saints. Traffique and travell hath woven the nature of all nations into ours; and made this land like arras, full of devise; which was broad-cloth, full of workmanship.
Time hath confounded our mindes, our minds the matter; but all commeth to this passe, that what heretofore hath beene served in severall dishes for a feast, is now minced in a charger for a gallimaufrey.
