[443] So second edit. First edit., _fileds_. [444] A common, familiar contraction of _mine uncle_. [445] Second edit., _fie_. [446] So second edit. First edit., _brings_. [447] i.e., _Traitor_ or _felon_. [448] i.e., Swoon. [449] Second edit., _fauours_. [450] So read for the metre. Old copies, _here's_. [451] See also Collier's "Hist. of Eng. Dramatic Poetry," i. 3. [452] See Dyce's "Shakespeare," 1868, ii. 2. [453] Not in the old copy. [454] [i.e., to Tyburn.] [455] [Old copy, _thee_.] [456] Old copy, _well a neere_. Well-a-year is an unusual phrase, _well_ being corrupted from _wail_. "Well-a-day" in the same sense is common enough. [457] Old copy, _otimie_, I conjecture _otomy_ for anatomy, a common form of _anatomy_. [458] Halliwell mentions the words _pubble_ and _puble_ in different senses, and the old copy reads puble; but here the context seems to require _bubble_. He has immediately before used the term _froth_. [459] Fear. [460] Divisions, conflicts. [461] Old copy, _Henry_. [462] Old copy, _Aveney_. [463] But see Hazlitt's "Proverbs," 1869, p. 23. [464] Old copy, _where stands in_. [465] i.e., Mary, God's mother. [466] See Hazlitt's "Proverbs," 1869, p. 289. [467] Possibly in reference to a tract, so called, printed by Wynkyn de Worde, and (after him) by others. [468] He means the stammer of Redcap, which he intends to imitate. [469] Compare "Damon and Pithias," vol. iv., pp. 67-8. [470] Old copy, _excepts_. [471] He does not appear, however, to make himself visible, but stands aside, listening. [472] Old copy, _times_. See Halliwell, v. _tine_, where the word is said to mean "the prong of a fork (second explanation)," thence, as in the text, a horn. [473] [Old copy, _attempt_.] [474] Block seems to refer jocularly to Sir Richard's long aside, under a sort of invisible cap. [475] Old copy, _solicitie_. [476] Old copy, _say_. [477] Old copy, _you_. [478] Old copy, _Richard's_. [479] [Old copy, _us_.] [480] Succeed. [481] Perhaps the dance so called is meant. [482] [Old copy, _them_.] [483] [Old. copy, _ye spoke_.] [484] Old copy, _rove_. [485] i.e., From the time of the Confessor. [486] i.e., Spain; old copy, _Gads_. [487] A word or words left blank in the old copy. [488] His gown. [489] Old copy, _Levarnian_. [490] Old copy, _It_. [491] Old copy, _ane_. [492] The word _search_ is here, and again a little further on used in the sense of _searchers_. [493] Old copy, _another_; but Redcap is evidently accompanied by two assistants. [494] This appears to stand for officers of the peace, as the _watch_ and the _search_. [495] Old copy, _King_. [496] A brothel. [497] [Old copy, _age_.] [498] [Old copy, _Fau_, for _Fauconbridge_.] [499] [This might appear to be a corruption of _go out_, or of _God's gut (God's guts_ is an ejaculation found elsewhere); but from a subsequent passage we can but conclude that the disease so called is intended.]
