文摘 the cold sweating cares which I conceived after I knew I should be cut like a French summer-doublet. Methought already the blood began to gush out at my nose: if a flea on the arm had but bit me, I deemed the instrument had pricked me. Well, well, I may scoffat a shrewd turn but there's no such ready way to make a man a true Christian as to persuade himself that he is taken up for an anatomy. I'll depose I prayed then more than I did in seven year before. Not a drop of sweat trickleddown my breast and my sides but I dreamed it was a smoothedged razor tenderly slicing down my breast and my sides... in the night I dreamed of nothing but phlebotomy, bloody fluxes, incarnatives, running ulcers.
（Nashe, 1958, 2.305）
This extract shows both the similarities and the differences between Nashe's style and those of Lyly and Sidney: Nashe's Jack is a colloquial narrator, whose speech is full of interjections such as 'O' and 'Well'; his is a calculated juxtaposition of outrageous, amusing similes （'cut like a French summer-doublet'） with a calculated simplicity to heighten the horror （'Methought already the blood began to gush out at my nose'）. The last sentence in the extract, detailing what Jack dreamed of, and milking each word in the list for its sound and rhythm as well as for its shocking content, is typical of Nashe on top of his game. In The Unfortunate Traveller, the colloquial, joking style, at odds with the horrific （and surreal） subject matter, is at the centre of the work, just as Euphuism and the Arcadian rhetoric dominate Lyly's and Sidney's fictions respectively.
