[192] Old ed. "good." [193] Old ed. "this dissemblance." [194] See note [50]. [195] Old ed. "esteem'd." [196] "Open ... palpable ... grosse ... mountaine." The writer had surely in his mind Prince Hal's words to Falstaff:--"These lies are like their father that begets them: _gross_ as a _mountain, open, palpable_." [197] Old ed. "Of Lenos mathrens." I have no doubt that my correction restores the true reading. Cf. above "_Panders_ and _Parasites_ sit in the places," &c. [198] Quy. "_On_, friends, to warre"? Perhaps something has dropped out--"_Urge all_ our friends to warre." [199] Old ed. "dishonour'd." [200] Not marked in old ed. [201] This speech is not very intelligible, but I can only mend it by violent changes. [202] Old ed. "payes all." [203] Old ed. "of this spatious play." [204] Crack. [205] Old ed. "sould."

"playes." [219] In _As You Like It_, Rosalind, speaking the Epilogue, justifies the novelty of the proceeding:--"It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue; but it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord the prologue."--Flavia is the earliest example, so far as I know, of a lady-prologue. [220] Old ed. "Endeauours." [221] Old ed. "smile." The emendation was suggested to me by Mr. Fleay. [222] The old ed. gives "they are monsters _Graccus_, they call them," assigning Graccus' speech to Acutus. [223] Old ed. "Of." [224] The old form of _bankrupt_. [225] _Canaries_ was the name of a lively dance. [226] A skeleton. Perhaps we should read "an atomy." [227] Not marked in old ed. [228] Not marked in old ed. [229] Old ed. "Sernulas." [230] Old ed. "Srnu." [231] Old ed. "Here's none but only I, sing." I take the word _sing_ to be a stage-direction, and the preceding words to be part of a song.

[243] The old ed. gives "burbarrels." The allusion is to the _bum-rolls_,--stuffed cushions worn by women to make their petticoats swell out. Cf. Stephen Gosson's _Pleasant Quippes_-- "If _barreld bums_ were full of ale, They well might serve Tom Tapsters turne." [244] Old ed. "women."
