To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
misanthrope, who (like Wallenstein) hates noise and bids his barber c answer him not but with his leg, ' and who is subjected to a succession of the most awful trials imaginable, from the moment that Truewit enters ' with a post-horn. ' The character of Morose, it appears, Jonson borrowed, with the name, from a declamation of the Greek rhetorician Libanius \ but the way in which the fancy is developed is of course original. Of native growth are the two gulls the one ' a whiniling dastard ' and ...the other a ' brave heroic coward. ' The former is Sir John Daw, who is of a literary turn, criticises the classics with extreme volubility-, and uses by way of oath the asseveration ' As I hope to finish Tacitus. ' The latter is Sir Amorous La-Foole. Not of the La-Fooles of Essex, but of the La-Fooles of London, though ' they all come of one house, the La-Fooles of the north, the La-Fooles of the west, the La-Fooles of the east and south we are as ancient a family as any is in Europe but I myself am descended lineally of the French La-Fooles and we do bear for our coat yellow, or or, chequered azure, and gules, and some three or four colours more, which is a very noted coat, and has sometimes been solemnly worn by divers nobility of our house but let that go by, antiquity is not respected now.
