* * * * * FOOTNOTES: LUST'S DOMINION or THE LACIVIOUS QUEEN. [50] "History of English Dram. Poetry," iii. p. 97. [51] The curtain in front of the old theatres divided in the middle, and was drawn to the sides; but it may save further explanation to add here that, "beside the principal curtain, they sometimes used others as substitutes for scenes."--_Malone._ [52] [Former edit., _sick, heavy, and_.] [53] [Old copy, _I'll lay there away_.] [54] [The Moor pretends that he meant to refer to the dead King.] [55] [Edits., _That seeing_.] [56] [Old copy, _Here_.] [57] [The edits., give this speech to Balthazar, but he was not present when the arrangement with the friars was concluded.] [58] [Bowing.] [59] In the original this speech is given to Alvero; but it is evidently an error, as he does not enter till some time after. [60] In the original it runs, _This music was prepar'd thine ears_. An omission was evident. I trust the right reading is restored.--_Dilke._ [61] "And none of you will bid the winter come, To thrust his icy fingers in my maw." --"King John," act v. sc. 7. [62] In the original this is given to Alvero, but evidently in error. [63] _i.e._, Unchaste. [64] Muskets. [65] "The mark at which an arrow is shot, which used to be painted white."--_Johnson._ [66] [An abbreviated form of _God's sonties_, which again is a corruption, though of what is rather doubtful; probably, however, of _God's saints_.] [67] [Edits., _See_.] [68] [Hamstring me.] [69] _Under show of shrift_, or, in other words, as coming to hear me confess. [70] Thirty masses on the same account. [71] Despatch. [72] Strut. [73] [Edits., give these words to Eleazar.] [74] With force, vigour, energy, vehemence. [75] In the original the remainder of this play is jumbled together in strange confusion. [76] [Edits., _rowls_.] [77] [Nemesis.] [78] [Old copies, _they_.] [79] For that piece of mockery. * * * * * FOOTNOTES: ANDROMANA or THE MERCHANT'S WIFE [80] [It is, however, printed in the "Ancient British Drama," 1810, and it formed part of the original edition of Dodsley, 1744.] [81] [Edits., _hangs_.] [82] [Old copy, _quait_.] [83] [Edits., _my son_.] [84] [Edits., _And_.] [85] [Edits., _There to try it with him_.] [86] [Old copy, _at first_.] [87] [Edits., _were_.] [88] [Edits., _now_.] [89] [Edits., _word or two_, which seems to be a redundancy, both in the metre and sense.] [90] [Edits., _not to_.] [91] [Edits., _and could_.] [92] [Edits., _And shew_.] [93] [Edit. 1810 prints _Consequently distate_.] [94] _Mischievously_ or _wickedly_. So in "All's Well that Ends Well," act iv. sc. 5-- "A shrewd knave and an _unhappy_." See also Mr Steevens's note on "Henry VIII.," act i. sc. 4. [95] A tragedy by Sir John Denham, acted at Blank Friars, and printed in folio, 1642. [96] [A very common phrase, in the sense of _accorded_, _agreed_.]
