i2 4 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES Helas ! Sire, conclud Cy&, vivez content ; car vous pouvez faire ce/a maintewaw/, sans vous donner tant de peine. Instead of "peine'* Bacon may possibly have em ployed the word " bruit " as a final rhyme to " Amis " and " Puis." The meaning is and remains " : Much " Ado About Nothing," Viel Larm um Nichts," " Beaucoup de Bruit, peu de Fruit." The following witty, charmingly rhymed little anec dote (which, by the bye, is more profusely rhymed in French than in English) is of a youth who resembled the Emperor Augustus. Bacon probably told it oftener in French than English : Auguste ayant sceu qu'il y auoit dans Rome vn ieune homme qui luy ressembloit grandement, commanda qu'on le fist venir : & apres 1'auoir bien regard^, Parlez mon Amy, luy dit-il, vostre mere n'est-elle iamais venue a Rome ? Nenny, respondit le ieune homme, mais mon pere y a bien este" quelquesfois. (Augustus, having heard that there was a youth in Rome who bore a striking likeness to himself, had the young man brought before him. After scrutinising him for some time, he said : Tell me, my friend, has your mother never been in Rome ? No, answered the youth, but my father was there several times.) The youth retaliated very smartly, and paid the Emperor in his own coin for the suspicion cast upon his mother. A perfect volley of rhymes is discharged the moment the words of Augustus begin : Parlez mon Amy, luy dit-il, vostre mere n'est elle iamais venue a Rome ? Nenwy, respond
FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES 125 le ieune homme, mais mon pere y a bien este quelques/bzs. But it is not our intention to offer a complete edition of Bacon's English and French rhymed witticisms. From the many at our disposal we shall select one more to conclude with : Caton estant desia vieil, & sa femme morte, s'aduisa d'en espouser vne ieune. Son fils le visita quelque temps apres, & luy dit, Quoy ? mon pere, vous ay-ie faict quelque offense, qui a mettre vne marastre dans la maison ? Nenny, vous ait oblige respondit Caton, au contraire, ie vous ay tousiours treuue tellement a mon gre", qu'a 1'aduenir ie seray bien aise d'engendrer beaucoup d'enfans telle que vous. (Cato had grown old, and when his wife died, he made up his mind to marry a young woman. Shortly afterwards, his son called upon him, and said : How now, father, have I ever offended or hurt you, that you should have cause to bring a step-mother into the house ? Not in the least, replied Cato, on the contrary, I have ever found you so to my taste, that I should be glad in future to engender more children like you.) From the word " maison," i.e., the moment the witty answer of the aged man is taken up, one rhyme follows close upon the other : . . . vne marastre dans la maison ? Nenny, respond// Caton, au contraire, ie vous ay tousiours treuw/ tellement a mon grd, qu'a 1'aduenir ie seray bien aise d'engenafor beaucoup d'enfans telle que vous.
