[141] Or, caveare. Giles Fletcher, in his "Russe Commonwealth," 1591, p. 11, says: "In Russia they have divers kinds of fish, very good and delicate: as the Bellouga or Bellougina, of four or five elnes long; the Ostrina or Sturgeon, but not so thicke nor long. These four kinds of fish breed in the Volgha, and are catched in great plenty, and served thence into the whole realme for a great food. Of the roes of these foure kinds, they make very great store of _Icary_, or caveary." The introduction of these foreign delicacies is ridiculed by several writers of the times; as Ben Jonson's "Cynthia's Revels," act iii. sc. 1: "Come; let us go and taste some light dinner, a dish of sliced _caviare_, or so." And in Marston's "What you Will," act ii. sc. 1-- "A man can scarce put on a tuckt-up cap, A button'd frizado sute; scarce eate good meate, Anchovies, _caviare_, but hee's satired, And term'd phantasticall." [142] The malacoton is one of the late _peaches_. So in Ben Jonson's "Bartholomew Fair"-- "A soft velvet head like a _mellicotton_." --_Steevens._ [143] _Olived_ is a term of cookery. In Murrell's "New Book of Cookery," [1630,] is a receipt to make an _olive_-pie to be eaten hot. _Olives_ are _collops_ of any meat.--_Steevens._ [144] Cartwright has fetched most of his antiquated terms from Chaucer. I have therefore given the explanation of them from Mr Tyrwhitt's excellent glossary on that author.

"This jovial sect seems to have been so called from Golias, the [representative] name of a man of wit, toward the end of the 12th century, [under which pass] "Apocalypsis Goliæ" and other pieces, in burlesque Latin rhymes, some of which have been falsely attributed to Walter Mapes. In several authors of the 13th century, quoted by Du Cange, the Goliardi are classed with the _joculatores_ or _buffones_."--_T._ [See "Poems of Walter Mapes," edit. Wright, p. ix. _et seq._] [150] Left.--_T._ [151] So in Chaucer's "Reve's Prologue," v. 3880-- "Yet in our ashen cold is fire yreken." --_Steevens._ On this last line Mr Tyrwhitt observes: "There is so great a resemblance between this line and the following in 'Gray's Elegy,' [edit. Mitford, i. 106]-- "Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires," that I should certainly have considered the latter as an imitation, if Mr Gray himself had not referred us to the 169 (170) sonnet of Petrarch, as his original 'Ch'i veggio nel pensier,' &c.
