Early Oxford translations

William ADLINGTON's (1566) Apuleius' Metamorphosis(/The Golden Asse)
Arthur Golding's (1567) Ovid's Metamorphosis

http://www.jnanam.net/golden-ass/#ed

<<The SHAPE-changing theme also occurs in Kafka's Die VERwandlung
(The Metamorphosis). This theme, while obviously ubiquitous in human imagination, is unusual in Apuleius in that a 1st-person narrative
is provided by the metamorphed man, as in Kafka. Kafka's novel owes
something to the Golden Ass in its plot of an ordinary person who one
day suddenly finds himself in a SHAPE not his own--a repulsive SHAPE;
& in the protagonist's struggle to survive with his humanity intact.>> ..............................................................
"Remoove from me my SHAPE of mine Asse, and render to me my pristine
estate, and if I have offended in any point of divine Majesty, let me
rather dye then live, for I am full weary of life." - _Golden Asse_ -----------------------------------------------------------

Buck: No, not a sillable:
. I doe pronounce him in that VERy SHAPE

<<46 days before Easter, the first day of Lent, some
Christian churches celebrate Ash Wednesday by marking
the Sign of the Cross on the foreheads of beliEVERs,
as a reminder of their mortality (hence ash)
and penance for their sin (dirt).>> ...................................................

If, as mine is, thy life a lumber be,

As this MY LETTER IS LIKE ME, for it

It is my deed of gift of mee to thee,

AN EPITHALAMION, OR MARRIAGE SONG
ON THE LADY ELIZABETH AND COUNT
PALATINE BEING MARRIED ON ST. VAL-
ENTINE'S DAY. by John Donne
.
. Rest now at last, and we-
As satyrs watch the SUN's upRISE-will stay
Waiting when your EYEs opened let out day,
Only desired because your face we see.
.
Others near you *SHALL WHISPERING SPEAK* ,
.
And wagers lay, at which side day will break,
And win by observing, then, whose hand it is
That opens first a curtain, hers or his :
This will be tried to-morrow after nine,
Till which hour, we thy day enlarge, O Valentine. ---------------------------------------------------

. A Midsummer NIGHT's *DREAM* Act 5, Scene 1
.
THESEUS: *More STRANGE than TRUE* : I nEVER may believe
. These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.
. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
. Such *SHAPING* fantasies, that apprehend
. More than cool reason EVER comprehends.
. The lunatic, the lover and the poet
. Are of imagination all compact:
. One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
. That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
. Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
. The poet's EYE, in fine frenzy rolling,
. Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
. And as imagination bodies forth
. The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
. Turns them to *SHAPES* and gives to *AIRY NOTHING*
. A local habitation and a name.
. Such tricks hath strong imagination,
. That if it would but apprehend some joy,
. It comprehends some bringer of that joy;
. Or in the NIGHT, imagining some FEAR,
. How easy is a bush supposed a bear! -----------------------------------------------------

Hawthorne and His Mosses (1850) - Melville: .......................................................
"In Shakespeare's TOMB lies infinitely more than

it is not so much for what he did do but for what
he did not do, or refrained from doing.

"For in this world of lies, *TRUTH* is forced to fly like
a scared white doe in the woodlands; and only by cunning
glimpses *Will sh[E REVE]Al herself* , as in Shakespeare.." ...................................................

ATEUKIN: I know your grace knows scholars are but poor;

As for your [L]ove, O, might I b[E] employ'd,
How faithfully would Ateukin compass it!
But princes rather trust a smoothing tongue,
Than men of art that can accept the time. ...............................................
