[24] [We do not find this mentioned elsewhere. The same remark applies
to _aums-ace_.]
[25] [Halliwell, in his "Dict." v. Pink, says:--"A game, the same as
post and pair." Surely this is not so. It seems rather to be used, here
at least, in the sense of _gamble_. But _pink_, after all, may signify
something very different, viz., _lechery_.]
[26] The target or butts.

[45] The word _fitte_ sometimes signified a part or division of a
song; but in its original acceptation a poetic strain, verse, or poem:
from being applied to music, the word was easily transferred to
dancing, as in the above passages. See Dr. Percy's "Relics of Anc. Eng.
