THROAT. Good night to all. [_Exeunt_ W.S., T.S., _and_ BOUT. Dear wife, step in. Beard and Dash, come hither: Here take this money: go borrow jewels Of the next goldsmith: Beard, take thou these books, Go both to the broker's in Fetter Lane, Lay them in pawn for a velvet jerkin And a double ruff: tell him, he shall have As much for a loan to-night, as I do give Usury for a whole circuit; which done, You two shall man her to her mother's: go. [_Exeunt_ BEARD _and_ DASH. My fate looks big! methinks I see already Nineteen gold chains, seventeen great beards, and ten Reverend bald heads, proclaim my way before me. My coach shall now go prancing through Cheapside, And not be forc'd to hurry through the streets For fear of serjeants; nor shall I need to try, Whether my well-grass'd tumbling foot-cloth nag Be able to outrun a well-breath'd catch-pole. I now in pomp will ride, for 'tis most fit, He should have state, that riseth by his wit. [_Exit._ FOOTNOTES: [375] [The Mitre Tavern in Bread Street, Cheapside, was a celebrated tavern at this time. From the present passage we learn that there was a second house so called in Fleet Street thus early.] [376] [The image of his father.] [377] _i.e._, Called. [378] _Trenchmore_ was a dance, of which (says Sir John Hawkins, in his "History of Music," iv. 391) "frequent mention is made by our old dramatic writers. Thus, in the 'Island Princess' of Beaumont and Fletcher, act v., one of the Townsmen says-- 'All the windows of the town dance a new _trenchmore._' In the 'Table Talk' of Selden, title _King of England_, is the following humorous passage:--'The Court of England is much altered. At a solemn dancing, first, you had the grave measures, then the corantoes and the galliards, and this is kept up with ceremony; at length to _trenchmore_ and the cushion-dance: and then all the company dance, lord and groom, lady and kitchen-maid, no distinction. So in our Court ... in King Charles's time, there has been nothing but _trenchmore_ and the cushion-dance, omnium gatherum, tolly polly, hoite cum toite.' And in the comedy of 'The Rehearsal,' the earth, sun, and moon are made to dance the hey to the tune of _trenchmore_. From all which it may be inferred that the _trenchmore_ was a lively movement." The _trenchmore_ is also mentioned in Beaumont and Fletcher's "Pilgrim," act iv. sc. 3. [379] [A double meaning is intended here, as the laundresses of the inns were not always very remarkable for chastity.] [380] This expression is used by Pistol in the "Second Part of Henry IV.," act ii. sc. 4-- "_Die men like dogs_; give crowns like pins, Have we not Hiren here?" [381] [At a distance.] [382] Or, as it was sometimes called, an _Island_, or _Isling_. So in "The Queen of Corinth," act iv. sc. 1--
