Lyly

1 It must be acknowledged that Lyly's success, if it is no commendation of the taste of his contemporaries, is greatly to the credit of their morality and earnestness.

2 So in Lyly's Euphues: "Philantus went into the fields to walk there, either to digest his choler, or chew upon his melancholy."

3 Lyly's parents made a dreadful song and dance about her being out after midnight.

莉莉的父母为她半夜后还不回家而坐立不安.

4 Lyly might shake with envy without having however the right to complain, for Sidney did not imitate him.

5 But Lyly's work generally has more of the masque than the play.

6 Among Shakespeare’s predecessors, John Lyly, whose plays were all written for the Children of the Chapel and the Children of St Paul’s, holds a position apart in English dramatic literature.

7 The peculiar circumstances of the production of Lyly's plays, and the strong or at any rate decided individuality of the author, keep them in a division almost to themselves.

8 And in this Lyly is not so satisfactory, though, of course, far in advance of his predecessors.

9 The recent Clarendon Press editions of Greene, Lyly, Kyd supply careful texts and full introductions.

10 The men of letters like Lyly and Nash are not nearly serious enough, though some exception may be made for Nash, especially if Pasquil's Apology be his.

11 Not only was Lyly the proprietor of the theatre, but he attempted to supply it with the necessary plays.

12 Lyly adopted this word as the name of the hero of his romance, and it is with him that the vogue of Euphuism began.

13 John Lyly, distinguished both as a dramatist and a poet, laid aside the tradition of English style for a style modelled on the decadence of Italian prose.

14 Three-fourths of Lyly’s comedies lightly revolve about topics of classical or fairy mythology—in the very manner which Shakespeare first brought to a triumphant issue in his ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream.’

15 When the practice was going out of fashion we find it thus severely stigmatized by Michael Drayton, a poet who had little sympathy with the artificial refinement of Lyly.

16 Lyly's theatre represents, in short, a mere backwater in the general stream of dramatic progress, though not a few allusions in other men's work show us that it attracted no small attention.

17 He has very little in common with Marlowe, Greene, and Peele, and still less with the charming Dresden china of Lyly.

18 "Well, you went the way to hang All three of them," cried Lyly, "and, as for Ben, His Trinidado goes to bed with him."

19 Some of it is written in a loose, swinging couplet, some in quatrains, some in blank verse, some in the choice, picked prose made the fashion by Lyly.

20 Those who have to teach literature impress the importance, and try to impress the interest, of Lyly on students and readers, and they do right.
