To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marc Antony is speaking to the mob, who believe he is going to ay something in favor of the dead Caesar, whose memory, for the mo- ment at any rate, they do not hold dear. In order to get their attention Antony says "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. " As you read that aloud do you notice how naturally the melody glides up and down on "bury" and "praise"? Again we have the double meaning. The mob thought he was going to praise Caesar, and Antony says, No, not "praise, " but "bury. " Whe...n, in The Merchant of Venice (Act I, sc. Iii), Shylock says to Antonio: "Hath a dog GROUP MOTIVE 143 money?" he is not seeking information. Antonio, who hates the Jew, has frequently called him a dog, but now he comes to Shylock and asks for a loan of money, and Shylock answers : Hath a dog money? Is it possible A cur can lend three thousand ducats? The sarcasm, the double idea as it were, in both sen- tences is brought out by the peculiar tune used on "dog" and "cur. " The lesson we learn from these few illustrations is that we must be exceedingly careful to get the motive, the purpose, the intention, behind every phrase, and, having it, must hold it firmly in mind as we read, so that the listener cannot possibly miss it.
