.). See the article _Clergie_ in Cowell's _Interpreter_ (1637). [43] Brand. [44] Therefore acted by the Queen of Bohemia's Company who at that time occupied the Cockpit.--F.G. Fleay. [45] Some seven or eight years ago I pointed out in _Notes and Queries_ that the idea of this droll incident was taken from a passage of Timaeus of Tauromenium (see Athenaeus, _Deipnosoph_., ii. 5); but others--as I afterwards learned--had anticipated my discovery. [46] This and the following speech are marked for omission in the MS. [47] The words "Not so, frend," are scored through. [48] The words "_Frenshe_ monster" are scored through. [49] "Makarel" = maquerelle (a bawd). [50] This passage illustrates 2 _Henry IV_., iv. 2:--"This Doll Tearsheet should be some _road_." See my note on Middleton's _Your Five Gallants_ (Works, vol. iii. p. 220). [51] Small boats with narrow sterns (Fr. pinque). Cf. Heywood's _I Edward IV_.:--"Commend me to blacke _Luce_, bouncing _Bess_, and lusty _Kate_, and the other pretty morsels of man's flesh. Farewell, _pink_ and pinnace, flibote and carvel, _Turnbull_ and _Spittal_" (Works, i. 38). [52] Fast-sailing vessels (Span, filibote). [53] The words "that ... husband" are scored through in the MS. [54] This and the two following lines are marked for omission. [55] The next word is illegible. [56] A long barge with oars. [57] "Misreated" = misrated? But the reading of the MS. is not plain. [58] "Do intend" is a correction in the MS. for "have bespoeke." [59] Old spelling of _convent_. [60] Cautious. [61] This speech is scored through. [62] The reading of the MS. is not clear. [63] Again I am doubtful about the reading of the MS. [64] "A shewer" = ashore. [65] Some letters are cut away in the MS. Perhaps Mildew was represented with _Judas-coloured_ (i.e. red) hair; but Raphael presently describes him as "graye and hoary," and afterwards we are told that he was bald. [66] Search, probe. [67] The stage-direction is not marked in the MS. [68] Track by the scent. [69] There is no stage-direction in the old copy. [70] This and the next three lines are marked for omission. [71] In this soliloquy Heywood closely follows Plautus: see _Rudens_, i. 3, "Hanccine ego partem capio ob pietatem praecipuam," &c. [72] Three cancelled lines follow in the MS.:-- "So if you ... any mercy for him, Oh if there be left any mercy for him Nowe in these
