Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"

"And."
[210] Old ed. "Then."
[211] See remarks in the Introduction.
[212] Old ed. "a jemme."
[213] Quy. "creep" (for the sake of the rhyme)?
[214] Gondola.
[215] Old ed. "recover'd."
[216] "_Timelesse_ lives taken away" = lives cut short by an _untimely_
stroke.
[217] Old ed. "prisoned."
[218] Old ed. "playes."
[219] In _As You Like It_, Rosalind, speaking the Epilogue, justifies
the novelty of the proceeding:--"It is not the fashion to see the lady
the epilogue; but it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord the
prologue."--Flavia is the earliest example, so far as I know, of a
lady-prologue.
[220] Old ed. "Endeauours."
[221] Old ed. "smile." The emendation was suggested to me by Mr. Fleay.
[222] The old ed. gives "they are monsters _Graccus_, they call them,"
assigning Graccus' speech to Acutus.
[223] Old ed. "Of."
[224] The old form of _bankrupt_.
[225] _Canaries_ was the name of a lively dance.
[226] A skeleton. Perhaps we should read "an atomy."
[227] Not marked in old ed.
[228] Not marked in old ed.
