Guillaume Seignac L'Abandon painting
John William Godward Nu Sur La Plage painting
Mi perdonato, gentle master mine,I am in all affected as yourself;Glad that you thus continue your resolveTo suck the sweets of sweet philosophy.Only, good master, while we do admireThis virtue and this moral discipline,Let's be no stoics nor no stocks, I pray;Or so devote to Aristotle's chequesAs Ovid be an outcast quite abjured:Balk logic with acquaintance that you haveAnd practise rhetoric in your common talk;Music and poesy use to quicken you;The mathematics and the metaphysics,Fall to them as you find your stomach serves you;No profit grows where is no pleasure ta'en:In brief, sir, study what you most affect.
LUCENTIO
Gramercies, Tranio, well dost thou advise.If, Biondello, thou wert come ashore,We could at once put us in readiness,And take a lodging fit to entertainSuch friends as time in Padua shall beget.But stay a while: what company is this?
