insomuch as she, looking herselfe in a glasse (as the devill bad her) became greatly inamoured with him. This done, the young man kissed her, in the doing whereof, hee writh her neck in sunder, so she dyed miserably; her body being straight waies changed into blew and black colours, most ugglesome to beholde, and her face (which before was so amorous) became most deformed and fearfull to looke upon. This being knowne in the cittie, great preparation was made for her buriall, and a rich coffin was provided, and her fearfull body was laid therein, and covered very sumptuously. Foure men immediately assayed to lift up the corpes, but could not moove it; then sixe attempted the like, but could not once stirre it from the place where it stood. Whereat the standers by marvelling, caused the coffin to be opened to see the cause thereof: where they found the body to be taken away, and a blacke catte, very leane and deformed, sitting in the coffin, setting of great ruffes, and frizling of haire, to the greate feare and woonder of all the beholders."--_Reed._ [Stubbes was fond of these examples. Compare "Shakespeare Society's Papers," iv. 71-88.] [159] _i.e._, During the Court's progress, when the king or queen visited the different counties.--_Steevens._ [160] _i.e._, Licentiously. [161] A wine mentioned in the metrical romance of the "Squyr of Low Degre"-- "Malmesyne, Both _ypocrasse_ and vernage wine." --_Steevens._ [See Hazlitt's "Popular Poetry," ii. 51.] [162] _Shrove Tuesday_ was formerly a holiday for apprentices. So in Ben Jonson's "Epicæne," act i. sc. 1, it is said of Morose, "he would have hanged a pewterer's _'prentice_ on a _Shrove Tuesday's_ riot, for being o' that trade, when the rest were quit." On _Shrove Tuesday_ in the County of Sussex (and I suppose in many others) apprentices are always permitted to visit their families or friends, to eat pancakes, &c. This practice is called _shroving_. "Apollo Shroving" is the name of an old comedy, written by a schoolmaster in Suffolk [William Hawkins], to be performed by his scholars on _Shrove Tuesday_, Feb. 6, 1626-7.
