"“Taunts are also often humourously uttered with a grave air and without exciting laughter. As when Djem Othman, brother to the Grand Turk, being a captive at Rome, said that jousting as we practise it in Italy seemed to him too great a matter for play and too paltry for earnest. And on being told how agile and active King Ferdinand the Younger was in running, leaping, vaulting, and the like,—he said that in his country slaves practised these exercises, while gentlemen studied the liberal arts from boyhood, and prided themselves thereon."--The Book of the Courtier (1528) by Baldassare Castiglione |
