"Methought a sweet young man, In years some twenty, with a downy chin, Promising a future beard, _and yet no red one_." --Beaumont and Fletcher's "Sea Voyage." [See also Dyce's ed. of Beaumont and Fletcher, v. 41.] "Runne to the counter, Fetch me _red-bearded_ serjeant." --"Ram Alley," 1611, ed. 1636, E 3. [227] This passage seems laughed at in the induction to an extremely rare old play, called "A Warning for Fair Women," 1599. "Came screaming like a piggie halfstickt, And cries, _Vindicta_, revenge, revenge!" --_Collier._ [228] _A time_, 1618, '23, '33. [229] _Thou shalt_, 1623, '33. [230] _It_, 1618, '23, '33. [231] _Spirits affoord_, ditto. [232] _Causes_, 1623, '33. [233] _This_, 1618, '23, '33. [234] This was altered _to bond_ in the edition of 1599. _Band_ was, however, the manner in which the word was previously written, and, I imagine, pronounced. See several instances in Mr Steevens's note on the "Comedy of Errors," iv. 2. Again, in Churchyard's "Challenge," 1593, p. 152-- "Since faith could get no credit at his hand, I sent him word to come and see my _band_" And, in Beaumont and Fletcher's "Noble Gentleman" [Dyce's ed., x. 118]-- "Take up at any use; give _band_ or land, Or mighty statutes." [235] _Stand you_, 1618, '23, '33. [236] [Melius latebam procul ab invidæ malis, remotus inter _Corsicos rupes_.--Senec. in "Oct." "Safe I lay hid and free from envy's spite, While _Corsick rocks_ were my retired Site." --Brathwaite's "Survey of History," 1638, p. 152, b. Nares says, _corsick_, grieved; but query, Corsic for _Corsican_ or _vindictive_.] [237] _Rueful_, 1618, '23, '33. [238] _Delivered_, 1618, '23, '33. [239] _Love_, 1618. [240] _Enforce_, 1611, '23, '33. [241] _Swift_, ditto. [242] _Did_, omitted, 1618. [243] _On_, omitted, 1618, '23, '33. [244] _Canst no notes_, _i.e._, understandest not, hast no knowledge of, or power in. So Spenser and others. [245] _Them_, 1618, '23, '33. [246] _How_, omitted, 1618. [247] _Thou art_, 1623, '33. [248] _Elder_, 1618, '23, '33. [249] _Then thou_, 1633. [250] _Dim'd_, 1618, '23, '33. [251] _Be, sir_, 1618; _be done, sir_, 1623. [252] _The_, 1618, '23, '33. [253] According to our modern geography, it is not necessary to cross "the raging seas" to pass from Portugal to Spain. [254] _Sufficed_, 1618, '23, '33. [255] _They are_, 1633. [256] _Pleasures_, 1623, '33. [257] _Wert_, 1618, '23, '33. [258] _Too_, omitted, ditto. [259] _Liberal_, in our ancient writers, is (as here) frequently used to signify _licentious_. So in Field's "Woman's a Weathercock"-- "Next that, the fame Of your neglect and _liberal_ talking tongue, Which breeds my honour an eternal wrong." [260] _That_, omitted 1623, '33. [261] _Heaven hath thee ordained_, ditto. [262] _Cheare_, 1618, '23, '33.
