DU BARTAS 201 Turns here to Bones, there changes into nerves, Heer is made Marrow, there for Muscle serves, Heer skin becomes, there crooking veins, there flesh. To make our Limbs more forcefull and more fresh." ' In view of the numerous bits of description which reveal a parallel between Fletcher and Sylvester,^ either with or without the inter- vention of Spenser, the notion of this indebted- ness becomes decidedly tenable. Not merely in this essential description of the flow of the blood, bu...t at considerable length in the ac- counts of the mouth, the stomach, the lungs, the eyes, the ears, and the tongue, Fletcher shows a fidelity to the accounts in Sylvester that certainly cannot be mere coincidence. There is also a close parallel between Fletcher's praise of the country life, at the beginning of the Twelfth Canto, and Sylvester's remarks on the same theme at the close of the Third Day, First Week.^ This is much less significant, however, because such matter served then as a conventional theme for every poet of any pretensions whatever.
