t_. [334] So second edit. First edit., _mistrurst_. [335] Qy., _now I swear_: [336] Edits., _confederates_. [337] Occurs somewhat earlier in edits. (to warn the actors to be in readiness for coming on the stage). [338] A well-known part of Oxford. "The principal street is the High Street, running from Magdalen Bridge to Carfax Church," &c --New Oxford Guide, p. 3, 8th edit. [339] i.e., Fine. [340] A common proverbial expression: "Beggars'-bush being a tree notoriously known, on the left-hand of the London road, from Huntingdon to Caxton." [Hazlitt'a "Proverbs," 1869, p. 401. See also pp. 82, 199.] [341] i.e., Refuse. [342] Is a common term for a small dagger, but here it seems to be used in contempt; see the next speech of Coomes. [343] The origin of this corrupted oath is, I believe, unknown. [344] i.e., Rabbit-burrow. [345] i.e., Call me horse. [346] A not uncommon proverbial expression. Nares ("Gloss." in _v_.) mentions three places which still retain the name--one between Oxford and Banbury, another close to Stafford, the third near Shrewsbury. [347] i.e., Counsel, advice. [348] i.e., Vile. [349] So second edit. First edit., _upon_. [350] i.e., Till. [351] i.e., A kind of net for catching rabbits,--usually stretched before their holes. [352] [The name of a popular game.] [353] So second edit. First edit., _do_. [354] i.e., A sucking, or young rabbit. [355] Vile. [356] So second edit. First edit., _you'r_. [357] Second edit., _wilt not_. [358] i.e., Honest. [359] Edits. _glimpes_ (the two last letters transposed by mistake.) [360] i.e., Gave notice of, discovered. [361] So second edit. First edit. _metamorphesie_. [362] So second edit. First edit. _these_. [363] So second edit. First edit. _'Sbloud_. [364] i.e., Nearer. [365] So second edit. Not in first edit. [366] Qy. "_Sir Ralph Smith_, I know." [367] So second edit. These words are wanting in first edit. [368] This stage direction occurs somewhat earlier in edits. [369] I am not sure that this stage direction, which I have added, is the right one. It would seem, however, that Sir Ralph Smith remains on the stage, and is supposed not to overhear the dialogue which ensues between Francis and Will. [370] Edits., _Sbloud_. [371] So second edit. First edit., _whench_. [372] Edits., _ask't_ and _aske_. [373] Read, for the metre, _It is_. [374] So second edit. Not in first
