_He unworthy you say? 'Tis impossible. It would Be more easy to die_. DECKAR.
[Footnote: This motto and that prefixed to Chapter XXII are quoted by Beyle in English, which makes it seem probable that by Deckar he meant the voluminous writer Thomas Dekker, the "Mr. Dickers" of Henslowe's _Diary_, the author of _Satiromastix_ and _The Honest Whore_ and the _Gull's Horn-book_ and the _Witch of Edmonton_; but this quotation, which the French editors religiously print in three lines, imagining it to be a specimen of English poetry, bears the marks of Beyle's composition.--C.
