[57] _Tertius e coelo cecidit Cato._ Juv., _Sat._ ii., 40.--_Cooper._ [58] [Kindred, parentages.] [59] I give thee thanks.--_Cooper._ [60] Feats or deeds, from the Latin _factum_, "And rattle forth his _facts_ of war and blood."--Marlowe's "Tamburlaine the Great," Part I., 1590.--_Cooper._ [61] [This word has escaped Nares and others. But it is merely a colloquialism for _love_, and is in that sense still in familiar use.] [62] [Guessed.] [63] The word "here," which is not in the original, seems necessary to complete the metre and rhyme.--_Cooper._ [64] Jack Mumblecrust is the name of one of the beggars who dine with Sir Owen Meredith: "Peace! hear my lady. Jack Mumblecrust steal no more penny loaves."--_Patient Grissel_, act iv., sc. 3. It is also a name given to the widow Minever by Captain Tucca in Dekker's "Satiromastix." Madge Mumblecrust is mentioned in the MS. comedy of "Misogonus," 1577.--_Cooper._ [65] Scolding. "_Whur_, to snarl like a dog."--_Bailey._ [66] "Soft fier makes swet malt"; see "The Marriage of Wit and Wisdom," edited by Halliwell, p. 13.--_Cooper._ [67] [The throat, which we still familiarly term _red lane_.] [68] Songs introduced in our old plays are often not found in the printed copies. Some of those in this piece, are, however, given at the end, and others are introduced in the body of the play. In the above instance, perhaps, only an air was to be hummed.--_Cooper._ [69] The terms _Sirrah_ and _Sir_ appear to have been frequently applied indifferently both to male and female. In Whetstone's "Promos and Cassandra," 1578, Grymball says to his mistress-- "Ah, _syr_, you woulde belike let my cocke-sparrowes go."--_Cooper._ [70] A corruption of the sacred name. [71] Scolded. It sometimes means _ruined_ or _destroyed_.--_Cooper._ [72] [This song is quoted in "A Pore Helpe," probably printed many years before "Ralph Roister Doister." See Hazlitt's "Popular Poetry," ii., 260. It therefore seems likely that in this, as in other cases, Udall introduced a song popular at the time, and the composition of some one else.] [73] _i.e._, "I had not so much, I wot not when: never since I was born, I ween." She here speaks a rustic dialect.--_Cooper._ [74] Her re-entrance is not marked.--_Cooper._ [75] [Orig. reads, _what_.] [76] Joke.--_Borde_, _bourd_, or _boord_, as the word is spelled by Spenser, means a jest or sport; from the French _Bourde_-- "Of old adventures that fell white, And some of _bourdes_ and ribaudry." --_Lay le Freine._ See _Toone's Glossary_.--_Cooper._ [77] Seriously whispering-- "And in his ear him _rounded_ close behind." --_Faerie Queene_, Book iii., Canto 10.--_Cooper._ [78] [Apparently intentional nonsense for _nobis miscebetur miserere_.] [79] [For _make_.] [80] God's wounds. [81] _Music._ So often used of old.--_Cooper._
