loigne" by the vulgar. The common etymology from _ronger_ to gnaw seems
unsatisfactory.

Act iii. sc. 4.--

"_Quarl._ How now, Numps! almost tired in your protectorship?
overparted, overparted?"

An odd sort of propheticality in this Numps and old Noll!

_Ib._ sc. 6. Knockhum's speech:--

"He eats with his eyes, as well as his teeth."

A good motto for the Parson in Hogarth's _Election Dinner_,--who shows how
easily he might be reconciled to the Church of Rome, for he worships what
he eats.

Act v. sc. 5.--

"_Pup._ _Di._ It is not profane.

_Lan._ It is not profane, he says.

_Boy._ It is profane.

_Pup._ It is not profane.

_Boy._ It is profane.

_Pup._ It is not profane.

_Lan._ Well said, confute him with Not, still."

An imitation of the quarrel between Bacchus and the Frogs in
Aristophanes:--
