e _Sole_, and the musical note
_Sol_.--_Pegge_.

[276] See note [235].

[277] Mixed metal, from the French word _mesler_, to mingle, mix.

[278] [Lightning-bolt.]

[279] [Camphored.]

[280] Plin. "Nat. Hist." lib. xxxvi. c. 16. "Sideritin ob hoc alio
nomine appellant quidam Heracleon: Magnes appellatus est ab inventore
(ut auctor est Nicander) in Ida repertus."--_Pegge_.

[281] So in "The Merchant of Venice," act i. sc. 1--

"With mirth and _laughter_ let old _wrinkles_ come."

See also the notes of Bishop Warburton and Dr Farmer on "Love's Labour's
Lost," act v. sc. 4.--_Steevens_.

[282] This quotation from Plautus, and that which follows from Terence,
were assigned by Mr Reed to Communis Sensus, when, in fact, they belong
to Comedus. The initials _Com_. in the old copies led to the
error.--_Collier_.

[283] The first lines of the prologue to Plautus's "Menechmi."

[284] See Terence's "Eunuch," act i. sc. 1.

[285] At the universities, where degrees are conferred.

[286] i.e., A porch which has as many spiral windings in it as the
shell of the _periwinkle_, or sea-snail.--_Steevens_.

[287] i.e., Bottles to cast or scatter liquid odours.--_Steevens_.

[288] The custom of censing or dispersing fragrant scents seems formerly
to have been not uncommon. See Ben Jonson's "Every Man out of his
Humour," act ii. sc. 4.

[289] _Pomanders_ were balls of perfume formerly worn by the higher
ranks of people. Dr Gray, in his "Notes on Shakespeare," vol. i. p. 269,
says "that a _pomander_ was a little ball made of perfumes, and worn in
the pocket, or about the neck, to prevent infection in times of plague."
From the above receipt, it appears they were moulded in different
shapes, and not wholly confined to that of balls; and the like direction
is given in another receipt for making _pomanders_ printed in Markham's
"English Housewife," p. 151, edit. 1631.

[290] _Non bene olet, qui semper bene olet_.

[291] Probably some character notorious in the University of Cambridge
at the time when this play was written or represented.--_Steevens_.

[292] Turquois.

[293] [Sharpen.]

[294] [Edits., _musing_.]

[295] [Primary.]

[296] [The wine so called.]

[297] Finer, more gaudily dressed. So in "Wily Beguiled"--

"Come, nurse, gather:
A crown of roses shall adorn my head,
I'll _prank_ myself with flowers of the prime;
And thus I'll spend away my primrose time."

And in Middleton's
