Retain the text, says Farmer ; for we find in North, " He left his gardens and arbors unto the people, which he had on this side of the river Tiber." 4. "Hence," i. e. from Sir Thomas North's translation of Plutarch, proceeds the Essay, " had our author his characteristic knowledge of Brutus and Antony, upon which much argumenta- tion for his learning hath been founded ; and hence, literatim, the epitaph on Timon, which it was once presumed he had cor- rected from the blunders of the Latin vers...ion by his own supe- rior knowledge of the original." 5. Pope says, " The speeches copied from Plutarch in Corio- lanus may, I think, be as well made an instance of the learning of Shakespeare, as those copied from Cicero in Catiline of Ben Jonson." To confute this opinion, Dr. Fanner extracts, at length, the famous speech of Volumnia : — " Should we be silent and not speak, our raiment And state of bodies would bewray what life We've led since thy exile," &c, which he contrasts with the same speech in North's Plutarch, also transcribed at length.
