A little melancholy, let me alone, pray thee. With riding: a plague on all Coaches for me. Cannot sing. Cannot sing. Let that best be good, sir, you were best. Sir, all this does not yet make me envy you: for I know I sing better then you. You shall hear me sing another: now will I begin. Why it's but a short Air, it'll be done presently, pray stay; strike Music. The Crier of the Court hath too clarified a voice. Well played, Captain Mars. Oh, it's our fashion, to be silent, when there is a better Fool in place, ever. Heaven is Like to have but a lame Skinker, then. THEN, in a free and lofty strain, Our broken tunes we thus repair; Here is Beauty, for the Eye; Ambrosiack Odours, for the smell; Cannot sing. Thank you Madame; but 'will not sing. To play the fool by Authority, is wisdom. What, have you hired Mercury, to cry your jests you make? True: with those that are not Artificers them selves. Vulcan, you nod; and the mirth of the feast droops.
Plot summary
Plot — Poetaster, or The Arraignment
Ovid’s father wants him to be a lawyer, but he prefers poetry. He attends an assignation of poets and their loves at Albius’ house. Crispinus, wishing to cuckold the jeweller, observes how taken his wife Chloé is with poets, and determines to become a poet himself. He forces his company on Horace, who escapes when an apothecary tries to arrest Crispinus for debt. Tucca intervenes to save him, and arranges for him to contribute to the controversial play satirizing poets which the players, anxious to attract audiences after a poor winter’s playing season, have hired Demetrius to write. Julia hosts a drunken banquet at court for the poets and ladies, who all dress as gods and goddesses, hiring appropriate props from the players, including a crown and sceptre. Lupus hears about this and, mistakenly believing that treason is plotted, brings the Emperor to interrupt the banquet. Appalled at the poets’ impiety and abuse of their talents, and at his daughter’s wantonness, Augustus banishes Ovid and imprisons Julia. A poetry reading by Virgil is interrupted by Lupus, who thinks he has detected more treason, and is exposed as a fool. Crispinus and Demetrius are tried for defamation of Horace and found guilty. Horace gives Crispinus a purge, and he vomits his obscure vocabulary. 1601 B-Text After the play has finished, two critics visit the author in his study and debate the play’s origins and the controversy over its personal satire; the author proposes that his next play will be a tragedy.
