Mrs. Green. Landlady Mrs. White- Scene ? London THE GOOD-NATURED
MAN ACT THE FIRST Scene, An Apartment In Young Honeywood's House.
Enter Sir William Honeywood and Jarvis. Sir William. Good Jarvis,
make no apologies for this honest bluntness. Fidelity like yours is
the best excuse for every freedom. Jarvis. I can't help being
blunt, and being very angry, too, when I hear you talk of
disinheriting so good, so worthy a young gentleman as your nephew,
my master. All the world loves him.1 Sir William. Say rather, that
he loves all the world; that is his fault. Jarvis. I am sure there
is no part of it more dear to him than you are, though he has not
seen you since he was a child. Sir William. What signifies this
affection to me, or how can I be proud of a place in a heart where
every sharper and coxcomb find an easy entrance ? Jarvis. I grant
you that he is rather too good- natured; that he's too much every
man's man; that he laughs this minute with one, and cries the next
with another; but whose instructions may he thank for all this? Sir
William. Not mine, sure? My letters to himduring my employment in
Italy taught him only that philosophy which might prevent, not
defend, his errors. 1 All the world loves him: In Mr. Burchell's
account of the character of Sir William Thornhill in The Vicar of
Wake- field (chap, iii), similar sentiments are expressed. Jarvis.
Faith, begging...

LOED TENNYSONS IDYLLS OF THE KING BY HAKOLD.. LITTLEDALE, M. A.
SENIOR MODERATOR, TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, FELLOW OP THE UNIVERSITY
OP BOMBAY, VICE-PRINCIPAL AND PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AND ENGLISH
LITERATURE, BARODA COLLEGE, INDIA Honfcon MACMILLAN AND 00. AND NEW
YORK 1893 All rights reset led PKEFACE THE extent of Tennysons fame
may be illustrated by the fact that these Essays on his Idylls were
written as the basis of a course of lectures to an audience
composed of undergraduates in an Indian college. In issuing these
notes for the use of English and American no less than Asiatic
students of our great poet, a number of merely verbal and
grammatical annotations have been omitted, and some alterations
have been made to adapt the work for general use. The object of
this volume is to present a con venient summary of much information
that is dispersed through too many books to be accessible at first
hand in the case of the general reader. The sources of the various
Idylls have been very closely traced, yet in such a manner that the
more earnest student will be tempted to carry his studies further.
At the end of each study on the sources some notes on the text have
been added. vi IDYLLS OF THE KING The purpose of the frequent
citations of parallel passages in these notes would be greatly
misunderstood if it were thought that they implied any disbelief in
the poets originality in passages thus illustrated. Not the least
of the many charms of Tennysons poetry is the seeming combination
of originality and allusiveness in a profusion of passages that
mingle their own fresh music with dim unconscious echoes of poets
dead and gone. To indicate such echoes, and not in any way to
suggest that thelate Laureate imitated his pre decessors, has been
the writers object in noting so many parallelisms. If Tennysons
mind was saturated with ancient and modern literatures as it seemed
to be, it was saturated even more deeply with the spirit of nature
and of truth to nature. All poets thus minded must look over the
limited field of human experience from somewhat similar points of
view. For their scholarly advice on many points tho writers best
thanks are due to his friends Messrs. F. A. H. Elliot, OLE. L.
Ferrar J. J. Heatou and J. L. Jenkins, all of the Civil Service of
India and the Rev. J. M. Hamilton, S. J., of St. Xavievs College,
Bombay. Especial thanks are also due to Mr. Bernard Quaritch for
his kindness in permitting large extracts from the MaUnogion to be
given. The labour of writing these Essays was lightened by PREFACE
vii the hopes that they might be dedicated to the writers father,
and that Lord Tennyson might be pleased to accept a copy of them.
Neither of these hopes was destined to be realised. The little book
can now only be offered as a lowly tribxite of love and reverence
on two graves. H. L. CONTENTS CHAPTER I PAGE THE ARTHURIAN LEGEND .
