"A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 2"


[195] [Orig. _kyrie_.]
[196] Nearer.
[197] Original reads, _beat me_.
[198] [A term of contempt, perhaps of no very definite or clear
signification; but it does not seem to be glossed.]
[199] Original has _haue_.
[200] Thus.
[201] i.e., JACK JUGGLER.
[202] Move.
[203] [A line seems to have dropped out here.]
[204] [Original reads _have by therefore_.]
[205] [Beat his head against a post.]
[206] Verily.
[207] Spring.

[209] Shut.
[210] Original has _I_.

[215] Old copy, _Kynge_.
[216] Trudging.
[217] Thirst.
[218] So in old copy, which is perhaps right. _To-to_, as an
intensitive, is a common form.
[219] Are jealous of them.
[220] Barnabas.
[221] Old copy, _Gupliade_.
[222] This word, as a verb, has occurred above. It is evidently used in
a bad sense, to signify an idle, _loafing_ person.
[223] Mistress.
[224] Old copy, _an_.
[225] Old copy, _a leaven_.
[226] Altogether.
