more Austrian puns

Here's the old "Austrian puns" post.

And here's the latest comment from Scott Lahti:

And furthermore -

Thanks to my praxeologist's
penchant for puissant-pun letters, I have another candidate in my series of improvised Austrian "word jazz" (apologies to Ken Nordine), the very incarnation of diminishing marginal utility: please allow me to introduce (not, per Sir "Rooster Lips" Jagger's immortal Satan-sympathetic ditty, "myself" but) that poetic ornament of Stuart-age English letters -

Mary Wroth, Bard (1587?-1651?),

If in my further excavation of the catacombs of libertarian genealogy I discover that her formative tutors included war-torn exiles from the Habsburg court, and neo-Thomist divines, and that she had family ties to Dutch colonies along the Hudson and East Rivers, and their first wave of immigrant Sons of Israel, I shall bolt from the tub instanter, raising my Archimedean you-shrieka alarums thus in a New Amsterdam Minuit.*

*As for Hebraic orthodoxy within the C17 Netherlands proper, every philosophy major has read of how the Pharisees among Dutch Jewry Amsterdamned their fledgling philosopher-immortal-to-be as a heretic, declaring their Tabernacle a no-Spinozone layer unto eternity...worldy redemption came soon enough, though, as the ostracized Baruch/Benedict moved downtown and formed the indie lute-distortion band Sophic Youth...speaking of excommuniques, I think at this rate I'm due any minute to be added to the Index of Scriptorum Prohibitum by the Popes of Auburn...

You heard it here first, folks:

Mary Wroth, Bard
A gen-u-ine historical personage.

I take credit only for spreading the word ...
