[61] Regale sorta di strumento simile all’organo, maminore.--Baretti _Dizion. Ital. ed Ing._ Bacon distinguishes between _the regal_ and the organ in a manner which shows them to be instruments of the same class. “The sounds that produce tones are ever from such bodies as have their parts and pores equal, as are nightingale _pipes of regals_ or organs.”--_Nat. Hist._ cent, ii., sec. 102. But, notwithstanding these authorities, the appellative _regal_ has given great trouble to the lexicographer, whose sentiments with regard to its signification are collected and brought into one point of view by Sir John Hawkins, in his “History of Music,” vol. ii., p. 448, from whence this note is extracted. See also a note by the Hon. Daines Barrington to “Hamlet,” act iii., sc. 2, in the edition of Shakspeare, 1773, omitted in that of 1778. [62] _Seeing_, second edit. [63] _Should_, first edit. [64] _Now_, first edit. [65] _Unto_, second edit. [66] [_Too_, first edit.] [67] [_What_, both eds.] [68] Crowd. [69] “_King_” is omitted in the first edition, and supplied by the second.--_Collier._ [70] _This_, first edition. [71] [Old editions have, _where opinion simplenesse have_, &c. Simpleness, ignorance--_i.e._, who have deserved mercy, having offended from not knowing better.] [72] _Thrust_, first edition. [73] [Old edit., _injurie_.] [74] _Yeelde speedily_, second edition. [75] _To pawne_, second edition. [76] Folly. Thus Spenser, in his Sonnets, “_Fondess_ it were for any, being free, To covet fetters, though they golden be.” [77] Old editions read, Take heede: _for life wordly_, &c. [78] Hinder me. [79] [I do not understand the allusion. The sense seems to be, I will beat you, come what may--I will put _prudence_ in my purse or pocket.] [80] [Originals have _colpheg you_.] I believe we should read, _colaphize_--i.e., box or buffet. _Colaphiser_, Fr. See Cotgrave’s “Dictionary.”--_Steevens._ [81] _i.e._, Loose companion. So Spenser-- “Might not be found a ranker _franion_.” Again-- “A faire _franion_ fit for such a pheere.”--_S._ Again, in “The First Part of King Edward IV.,” sign. C, p. 5: “Hees a _franke franion_, a merrie companion, and loves a wench well.” [82] See Note to “Gammer Gurton’s Needle,” vol. iii., p. 198. [83] [_Stephano_ spelled backwards.] [84] Read Κρητιξω. Vide Erasm. _Adag._ The _Cretans_ were famous for double-dealing. _Cretizare_, however, is a word employ’d by lexicographers, instead of mentiri.--_Steevens_. [85] Crack-rope was a common term of contempt in old plays.
