The Spanish majes- tical, but fulsome, running too much on the o, and terrible, like the devil in a play. The Dutch, manlike, but withal very harsh, as one ready at every word to pick a quarrel. Now we, in borrowing from them, give the strength of consonants to the Italian ; the full sounds of words to the French ; the variety of ter- minations to the Spanish ; and the mollifying of more vowels to the Dutch ; and so, (like bees), we gather the honey of their good properties, and leave the dregs... to themselves. And thus substantialness combineth ORIGIN OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 225 with delightfulness, fulness with fineness, seemliness with poftliness, and currentness with staidness, how can the language which consisteth of all these, sound other than full of all sweetness ? "* A brilliant Hying author thus endorses old Camden's testimonial: — *' Then was formed that language, less musical, in- deed, than the languages of the south, but in force, in richness, in aptitude for all the highest purposes of the poet, the philosopher, and the orator, inferior to that of Greece alone.
