83).^ ^ The conflict of friendship with love was in general treated in England with a livelier sense of the power of love than in Italy. Boccaccio's Palemoue and Arcita^ rivals for the hand of Emilia, courteously debate their claims (Teseide, v. 36, 39 f. ) ; Chaucer makes them figlit in grim earnest. Spenser, in the spirit of the Renascence, makes Friendship an ideal virtue, but exposes it to more legitimate trials, as where the Squire of low degree repels the proffered favours of his friend's... bride. (F. Q. Iv. Ix. 2. ) 10 THE NORMALITY OF SHAKESPEARE ILLUSTRATED A second variety of extravagant magnanimity was the familiar situation of the girl, who, deserted by her lover, follows him in dis- guise, takes service as his page, and in that capacity is employed by him to further his suit to a new mistress. This motive was of the purest romantic lineage, having first won vogue in Europe through Montemayor's Diana (1558, trans. 1588), and in England by Sidney's Arcadia (1581, publ. 1590), On the London stage it profited by the special piquancy attaching to the roles of girls in masculine disguise when the actors were boys, and its blend of audacious adventure and devoted self-sacrifice gave the Elizabethan auditor precisely the kind of composite thrill he loved.
