Footnote 225: As the use of Latin waned, a knowledge of modern languages
became increasingly important. The attitude of continental gentlemen on
this point is indicated by a Spanish Ambassador in 1613, to whom the
Pope's Nuncio used a German Punctilio, of speaking Latin, for more
dignity, to him and Italian to the Residents of Mantua and Urbino. The
Ambassador answered in Italian, "and afterwards gave this reason for it:
that it were as ill a Decorum for a Cavalier to speak Latin, as for a
Priest to use any other Language." (Winwood Memorials, vol. iii. p.
446).
Footnote 226: Fynes Moryson had a great deal to say on this subject. In
particular, he instances the Germans as reprehensible in living only
with their own countrymen in Italy, "never attaining the perfect use of
any forreigne Language, be it never so easy. So as myselfe remember one
of them, who being reprehended, that having been thirty yeeres in Italy
hee could not speake the Language, he did merrily answer in Dutch: Ah
lieber was kan man doch in dreissig Jahr lehrnen? Alas, good Sir, what
can a man learne in thirty yeeres?" (Itinerary, vol. in. p. 379).
