Messalla complains in Tacitus of the straitness of somegarments in his time, and of the fashion of the benches where the oratorswere to declaim, that were a disadvantage to their eloquence.
My French tongue is corrupted, both in the pronunciation and otherwise, by the barbarism of my country. I never saw a man who was a native ofany of the provinces on this side of the kingdom who had not a twang ofhis place of birth, and that was not offensive to ears that were purelyFrench. And yet it is not
...that I am so perfect in my Perigordin: for Ican no more speak it than High Dutch, nor do I much care. 'Tis alanguage (as the rest about me on every side, of Poitou, Xaintonge, Angoumousin, Limousin, Auvergne), a poor, drawling, scurvy language. There is, indeed, above us towards the mountains a sort of Gascon spoken, that I am mightily taken with: blunt, brief, significant, and in truth amore manly and military language than any other I am acquainted with, assinewy, powerful, and pertinent as the French is graceful, neat, andluxuriant.
