"But answered you, and geven you _hyring_."--_Collier_. [But the word in the two passages appears to be identical in the old orthography only. In the latter, cited by Mr Collier, it may mean _hearing_, but here it is seemingly _hire_, i.e., give me my hire or reward.] 476. _Theriaca_, a remedy against poison--_Blount_. The word _triacle_ is also not unfrequently used for a balsam, or indeed any kind of infallible or powerful medicine.--_Collier_. 477. _In_, 1st edit. 478. An addition. The word _so_ is no addition, but is found in both the old copies.--_Collier_. 479. I should suppose we ought to read _sheet-anchor_. The _sheet-anchor_ is the largest belonging to a ship, and is the last refuge of mariners; for when that fails to take hold of the ground, the vessel is left at the mercy of the storm. The _sheet-anchor_ was called by the ancients _anchora sacra_; and by the French _maitresse ancre_.--_S_. 480. _Ointment_, edit. 1569. 481. _Will_, edit. 1569. 482. _Are_, edit. 1569. 483. _Are_, edit. 1569. 484. _Unto_, edit. 1569. 485. _And_, 1st edit. 486. _You are_, edit. 1569. 487. Your _mastership_.--_S_. 488. _True_, 1st edit. 489. _Ere_, edit. 1569; _or_, 1st 4to. 490. _For no lie_, edit 1569. 491. _Our_, 1st edit. 492. _One_, edit. 1569. 493. _Your_, 1st edit. 494. First edition reads-- "And that we both my lye so witnes, That twayne of us thre in one agree." 495. Neither. 496. _Unlike_, 1st edit. 497. _From_, 1st edit. 498. _So_, edit. 1569. 499. _Should_, 1st edit. 500. _Payne_, 1st edit. 501. The allusion is to gunnery. _Thampion (tampon_, Fr., a bung, cork, or plug of wood) is now written _tampion_, and signifies the stopper with which the mouths of cannon are closed up, to prevent the admission of rain, or sea water, whereby their charges might be rendered incapable of service. A _tewel (tuyau, or tuyal_, Fr.) is a _pipe_; and is here used (for the sake of continuing the metaphor) for _bore_ or _calibre_. Moxon, in his "Mechanick Exercises," defines the _tewel_ to be that _pipe_ in a smith's forge into which the nose of the bellows is introduced; and in a MS. fragment, said to be written by Sir Francis Drake, concerning the stores of one of the ships under his command, the word _tewel_ is applied to a gun.--_S_. In Lambarde's "Dictionarium," p. 129, it is said: "It happened in the Reigne of Quene Marye, that the master of a Shippe passinge by while the Court lay theare, and meaninge (as the maner is) with Sayle and Shot to honor the Place, unadvisedly gave Fyre to a Piece charged with a Stone instede of a _Tampion_, which lightinge on the Quenes house ranne throughe a Chamber, and did no further Harme."
