English drama
"My lord, most sure on't; for 'twas spoke by one,
That is most _inward_ with the duke's son's lust."
[327] _Thou_, omitted, 1623, '33.
[328] _Nunc mers,_[330] _cadæ manus,_ 1618.
[329] [_i.e._, In reply to the question as to his confederates.]
[330] _Mens_, 1623, '33.
[331] _Of_, 1618, '23, '33.
[332] _Of_, 1623, '33.
[333] _Nought_, 1618, '23, '33.
[334] Goblins, or terrors of the night. So, in "Arden of Feversham,"
1592--
"Nay, then let us go sleepe, when _bugs_ and feares
Shall kill our courages with their fancies worke."
Again, in Churchyard's "Challenge," p. 180--
"And in their place some fearful _bugges_,
As blacke as any pitche,
With bellies big and swagging dugges,
More loathsome then a witch."
And in the same author's "Worthiness of Wales," p. 16, edit. 1776--
"A kind of sound, that makes a hurling noyse,
To feare young babes with brute of _bugges_ and toyes."
[335] _Doth_, 1623, '33.
CORNELIA.
1. _Cornelia. At London, Printed by Iames Roberts, for N.L. and John
Busbie, 1594, 4to._
2. _Pompey the Great, his faire Cornelias Tragedie: Effected by her
Father and Husbands downe-cast, death, and fortune. Written in French
by that excellent Poet Ro. Garnier, and translated into English by
Thomas Kid. At London, Printed for Nicholas Ling, 1595, 4to._
This translation from Garnier's "Cornelia" would not perhaps have been
inserted in the present remodelled edition of Dodsley, if it had not
happened that it completes Kyd's dramatic productions, and that it
formed part of the former edition, which there has been a desire to
preserve in its full integrity, except under such circumstances as have
been already explained.
