Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


[246] Breeches that came below the garters.
[247] I am unable to mend this passage.
[248] Old ed. "looke."--Perhaps we should read "With him--ah, looke!
looke!--the bright," &c.
[249] Old ed. "if they twang."
[250] Not marked in old ed.
[251] This is Mr. Fleay's correction for old ed.'s "Conceale."
[252] Old ed. "In on the scale."
[253] Not marked in old ed.
[254] See note [85] in vol. II.
[255] I suspect that we should read "my humour," and that the rest of
the speech should be given to Flavia.
[256] The small bowl--the "Jack"--at which the players aimed in the game
of bowls.
[257] Old ed. "_Scil_."
[258] Old ed. "_Sernulus_."
[259] An allusion to the _Sententiae Pueriles_ of Dionysius Cato, a
famous old school-book.
[260] Not marked in old ed.
[261] Old ed. "minited."
[262] The first words of a charming song printed in Bateson's
_Madrigals_, 1604. Here is the song as I find it printed in the
excellent collection of _Rare Poems_ (1883) edited by my honoured
friend, Mr. W.J. Linton:--
"Sister, awake! close not your eyes!
The day its light discloses:
And the bright Morning doth arise
Out of her bed of roses.
