[176] Paris Garden (or as it is printed in the old copy, _Parish_ Garden), was a place where bears were baited and other animals kept. Curtal was a common term for a small horse, and that which Banks owned, and which acquired so much celebrity for its sagaciousness, is so called by Webster-- "And some there are Will keep a _curtal_ to show juggling tricks, And give out 'tis a spirit." --"Vittoria Corombona," [Webster's Works, by Hazlitt, ii. 47.] _Sib is related to_; and perhaps _the ape's only least at Paris Garden_, may apply to Banks's pony. Dekker, in his "Villanies Discovered," 1620, mentions in terms "Bankes his Curtal." [177] In the course of the play John is sometimes called _Earl_ John, and sometimes _Prince_ John, as it seems, indifferently. [178] [Old copy, _deceive_.] [179] It must be recollected that the Queen and Marian have exchanged dresses. [180] [Old copy, _must_.] [181] [Old copy, _sovereign's mother, queen_.] [182] [Old copy, _cankers_] [183] [Old copy, _thrust_.] [184] _Haught_ is frequently used for _haughty_, when the poet wants to abridge it of a syllable: thus Shakespeare, in "Richard III." act ii. sc. 3-- "And the queen's sons and brothers _haught_ and proud." He has also "the _haught_ Northumberland" and "the _haught_ Protector." Kyd in "Cornelia," act iv., also has this line-- "Pompey, the second Mars, whose _haught_ renown." [185] [Old copy, _Ah, my good Lord, for, etc_.] [186] i.e., Shall not _separate_ us till we die. See Gifford's note to "The Renegado."--Massinger's Works, ii. 136. [187] _Palliard_ is to be found in Dryden's "Hind and Panther:" _palliardize_ is not in very common use among our old writers. Dekker, in his "Bellman of London," 1616, sig. D 2, gives a description of a _Palliard_. Tuck's exclamation looks as if it were quoted. [188] In the old copy, Scarlet and Scathlock are also mentioned as entering at this juncture, but they were on the stage before. [189] The _mistake_ to which Warman alludes is, that Friar Tuck takes part with Robin Hood, instead of assisting the Sheriff against him. [190] This incident, with some variations, is related in the old ballad of "Robin Hood rescuing the Widow's _three_ sons from the Sheriff, when going to be executed." See Ritson's "Robin Hood," ii. 151. [191] The old copy has a blank here; but whether it was so in the original MS., whether a line has dropped out by accident, or whether it was meant that Much should be suddenly interrupted by Robin Hood, must be matter of conjecture. [192] So printed in the old copy, as if part of some poetical narrative. [193] i.e., _Gang_. So written by Milton, Jonson, and many of our best authors. [194] [Old copy, _all your_.] [195] [Old copy, _never wife_.] [196] [Old copy, _in a loath'd_.] [197] [Own, from the Latin _proprius_.]
