Shakespeare and the Jesuits. Andrea Campana
found together in the same manner as in Hamlet.
O: “till they know the very essence and quiddity of the locking up of a trim young wooer, with a fair young virgin together? These owles, they do not harbour in the barn of their braynes” (56)
H: “Where be his quiddities now, his quillities, his cases, his tenures, and his tricks?” (5.1) “They say the owl was a baker’s daughter” (4.5)
O: “not having any lease or almost lyne not adorned with some such rare Jewell of contumelious terms” (56)
H: “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely” (3.1)
O: “But no where doth this Minister shew greater want of judgment, then in his Jesuits Ghospell, which in truth is such a peece of worke” (36)
H: “What a piece of work is a man! … And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me” (2.2)
O: “thinking himself perchance to be the Sampson of Protestants able to put to silence a thousand of such Doctours with the jaw-bone of an asse [Judges 15]” (131)
H: “as if t’were Cain’s jawbone, that did the first murder! This might be the pate of a politician, which this ass now o’erreaches, one that would circumvent God” (5.1)
The following quotation is taken from a separate tract (1617) written by Floyd against Marc Antonio de Dominis, the former Archbishop of Spilatro who had apostatized and become Protestant.
Floyd: “And nothing is stronger then the Truth, nothing more wholesome to a man then the knowledge of himselfe, the roote of all evill and errours being not to know oneself.”
Hamlet: “This above all, to thine own self be true.”
The following quotations are taken from Floyd’s Purgatories Triumph Over Hell (1613) and Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Floyd: “I hope you will not without cause be offended, that I likewise give you to understand the drift of my Purgatorie Letter, in a Parable of like nature” (2)
Two Gentlemen: “Thou shalt never get such a secret from me but by a parable” (2.5)
