"The old editions read _pittie-ward_, the modern editors _pitty-wary_," says Mr. Steevens, who in this edition has abandoned the best part of a former note where he had proposed to read _petty-ward_, which is the right word, and of the same import as the old one. That such a word formerly existed is demonstrable from its still remaining as a proper name, and near Wimbledon is a wood so called, probably from the owner. Mr. Steevens mistakes in supposing _ward_ to mean _towards_ in this instance, where it is put for the division of a city; nor does his quotation from William of Worcester assist him. The _via de Petty_ and the _Pyttey gate_ might be named after the hundred of Pyttey in Somersetshire. In Lyne's Map of Cambridge, 1574, we find the _petticurie_. SCENE 1. Page 399. EVANS. I will knog his _urinals_ about his knave's costard---- This utensil was the usual concomitant of physicians in former times, as appears from most of the frontispieces to old medical books and other ancient prints. SCENE 2. Page 410. HOST. ... he smells April and May. The same as if he had said he smells of _youth and courtship_, symbolized by these months, the former of which in old calendars is described in these lines: "The next vi yere maketh foure and twenty, And fygured is to joly Apryll; That tyme of pleasures man hath moost plenty Fresshe and lovyng his lustes to fulfyll----" and the latter in the following: "As in the month of Maye all thyng is in myght, So at xxx yeres man is in chyef lykyng; Pleasaunt and lusty, to every mannes syght, In beaute and strength to women pleasyng." SCENE 2. Page 412. HOST. I will to my honest knight Falstaff, and drink _canary_ with him. FORD. I think I shall drink-in _pipe-wine_ first with him; I'll make him dance. It may be doubted whether the exact meaning of this cluster of puns has already been given. Mr. Tyrwhitt says he cannot understand the phrase _to drink in pipe-wine_, and suggests that Shakspeare might have written _horn-pipe wine_. Now Ford terms canary _pipe-wine_, both because the _canary_ dance is performed to a tabor and _pipe_, and because the canary _bird_ is said to _pipe_ his tunes. Ford is speaking of Falstaff, not of Page, as Mr. Tyrwhitt's note implies when it refers to horns. He says he will make him pipe and dance too. SCENE 3. Page 414. MRS. FORD. How now, my _eyas-musket_?
