Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"

But what are these things that have slipt us? No countrie shall
slippe me."
[83] "Salvete, fures maritimi." _Rudens_, ii. 2.
[84] Honest.
[85] "_Trach_. Ecquem
Recalvum ac silonem senem, statutum, ventriosum,
Tortis superciliis, contracta fronte, fraudulentum,
Deorum odium atque hominum, malum, mali vitii probrique plenum,
Qui duceret mulierculas duas secum, satis venustas?
_Pisc_. Cum istiusmodi virtutibus operisque natus qui sit,
Eum quidem ad carnificem est aequius quam ad Venerem
commeare."--_Rudens_, ii. 2.
[86] See the Introduction.
[87] In the MS. follow some cancelled words:--"Il fyrst in and see her
bycause I will bee suer tis shee. Oh, _Mercury_, that I had thy winges
tyde to my heeles."
[88] "Who ever lov'd," &c.--A well-known line from Marlowe's _Hero and
Leander_.
[89] There is no stage-direction in the MS.
[90] Adulterous.--So Heywood in _The English Traveller_, iii. 1,--
"Pollute the Nuptiall bed with _Michall_ [i.e. mechal] sinne." Again
in Heywood's _Rape of Lucreece_, "Men call in witness of your _mechall_
sin.
