Again, in Churchyard's "Worthiness of Wales"-- "Behold besides, a further thing to note, The best cheap cheare they have that may be found; The _shot_ is great when each man pais his groate, If all alike the reckoning runneth round." 425. The third edition reads _swynking_. See note 26 to "Gammer Qurton's Needle," vol. ii. 426. In Sir John Hawkins's "History of Musick," vol. iii., p. 466, a passage, in Tusser's "Five Hundred Points of Husbandry," 1580, is cited, in which this line occurs-- "The better _brest_, the lesser rest;" upon which he makes this observation: "In singing the Bound is originally produced by the action of the lungs, which are so essential an organ in this respect, that to have a good _breast_ was formerly a common periphrasis to denote a good singer. The Italians make use of the terms _Voce di Petto_ and _Voce di Testa_ to signify two kinds of voice, of which the first is the best. In Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night,' after the clown is asked to sing, Sir Andrew Aguecheek says-- 'By my troth, the fool hath an excellent _breast_' And in the statutes of Stoke College, in Suffolk, founded by Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, is a provision in these words: 'Of which said queristers, after their _breasts_ are changed (i.e., their voices broke), we will the most apt of wit and capacity be holpen with exhibitions of forty shillings,'" &c. See also the notes of Mr Warton and Mr Steevens to "Twelfth Night," A. 2, S. 3. Again, in Middleton's "More Dissemblers besides Women," A. 1, S. 3 (Dyce's edit, iii., 575), Dondolo, after a song by his page, says, "Oh rich, ravishing, rare, and inticing. Well, go thy ways, for as _sweet a brested_ page as ever lay at his master's feet in a truckle-bed." And in the same writer's "Women beware Women," A. 3, S. 2-- _Duke_. "Yea the voice too, sir?" _Fab_. "Ay, and a _sweet breast_ too, my lord, I hope, Or I have cast away my money wisely." --Dyce's edit, iv., 583. Yet in the very next line of the text the Pedlar seems to take a distinction between the _breast_ and the _voice_, which induces the Apothecary to observe-- "That answere sheweth you a ryght syngynge man."--_Collier_. 427. _Wyt_, 1st edit. 428. _Wyll_, 1st edit. 429. See note 48 to "Gammer Gurton's Needle." 430. _Not and_, 1st edit. 431. Hitherto misprinted-- "Upon these _workes_ our mater grewe."--_Collier_. 432. _His_, edit. 1569. 433. _For_, edit. 1569. 434. _So_, edit. 1569 435. _May_, edit. 1569. 436. _Wake_, 1st edit. 437. _It is very_, edit. 1569. 438. Added in edit. 1569. 439. The first edition reads-- "And if _he_ lyste to take me so." which is altered in the edit, of 1569, to _ye_, and it is probably right.--_Collier_. 440. _Should go on pilgrimage_, edit. 1569. 441. Original reads _debite_. 442. _Howe_, 1st edit. 443. _Were we as_, edit. 1569. 444. First edition reads--
