[288] The _new guise_ is a term often met with in old plays, but the application of it here is not very clear, although the meaning of the writer--in a way that he (Jacob) little expected--is sufficiently intelligible. [289] In the old copy this word is improperly placed opposite the line, _That all quarrel, &c_. [290] Understanding. [291] [The interlude of "The Disobedient Child," edited by J.O. Halliwell. Percy Society, 1848.] [292] [But see Cooper's "Cambridge Athenae," i., 554.] [293] [The Bridgewater copy of the original edition was most obligingly collated for the present writer by Mr Alexander Smith, of Glasgow. It affords numerous corrections of the Percy Society's text.] [294] [The full title is: _A pretie and mery new Enterlude, called The Disobedient Child, compiled by Thomas Ingelend, late Student in Cambridge. Imprinted at London, in Flete strete, beneath the Conduit, by Thomas Colwell_. 4°.] [295] These first eight lines are also found in the interlude introduced into the play of _Sir Thomas More_, printed by the Shakespeare Society, p. 60.--_Halliwell_. [296] Without shame--shameless. [297] Immediately. See "Othello," Act. iv. sc. 3. [298] That is, according to my judgment. See "Lear," Act i. sc. 4.-- _Halliwell_. [299] To split, or burst. Generally spelt _rive_. [300] Both tender and delicate. [Here, as pointed out in a note to Heywood's "Four P.P." _supra_, the word _nice_ is to be pronounced _nich_.] [301] Beaten. [302] [Query same as _spwyn_, to burst or break out. See Way's edit, of the "Promptorium," v. _Spwyn_.] [303] Compare "Troilus and Cressida," i. 2. [304] Burial. From the Latin. [305] i.e., By. [306] [Original reads _trembled_.] [307] [This account, if founded on fact, is a curious illustration of the scholastic discipline of that period. We know that Udall the dramatist was remarkable for his severity to his pupils at Eton.] [308] Impress. Compare "Much Ado about Nothing," iv. 1.--Halliwell. [309] [Query, the schoolmaster, so called from inflicting on the pupil with a cane _cuts_ on the hand.] [310] Bet. See "Taming of the Shrew"-- "Now, by Saint Jamy, I _hold_ you a penny."--_Halliwell_. [311] Jakes. Compare "Lear," ii. 2.--_Halliwell_. [312] [Detail, or circumlocution.] [313] At once. [314] Compare "Comedy of Errors," Act ii, sc. 1.--Halliwell. [315] Blamed, scolded. See "Merry Wives of Windsor," i. 4. The older meaning of the term is _ruined_, but Elizabethan writers generally employ it in the sense here mentioned.--_Halliwell_. [I do not agree. The older sense is, I think, the only one admissible; yet, Nares cites a passage from Shakespeare which may shake this position. See _v. Shend_, No. 1, second quotation.] [316] Compare the "Midsummer Night's Dream," ii, 1.--_Halliwell_. [317] "Bring oil to fire" (_King Lear_, ii. 2). Compare also "All's Well that ends Well," v. 3.--_Halliwell_. [318] "My tricksy spirit" (_Tempest_, v. 1).--_Halliwell_.
