[Lines: 66-7 So punctuated in _1677_. Earlier texts and _1687_ 'who were to him complete before. Ingredients of his virtue thread' ... _1677_ reads 'virtues'.] [Line: 68 '_the_ Swede': of course Gustavus Adolphus.] [Line: 73 _1647_, _1651_, _1653_ 'Whatever'.] [Line: 74 _1677_, apparently alone, 'o_n_ the']. [Line: 78 _1653_, evidently by slip, '_for_ Jane'.] [Line: 79 _1647_, _1651_, _1653_ 'Cit'z' (not quite bad for '_citiz_ens) and 'flea of the place'. 'Flea' for 'flay' is not uncommon: the rest is absurd. 'Isaac' was Isaac Pennington, father of that Judith whose obliging disposition Mr. Pepys has commemorated.] [Line: 80 'Antl_ets_', which occurs in all, is not impossible for 'antl_ers_' (the everlastingly ridiculed citizen 'horns'). But _1647_, _1651_, _1653_ forgot the Golden Calf altogether in their endeavour to provide a rhyme for their own misprint (l. 79) by reading 'Stace'.] [Line: 83 'Gossip's' (_1651_, _1677_) is not wanted and hisses unnecessarily.] [Line: 86 'self-wants' _1647_, _1651_, _1653_, _1687_. _1677_, most improbably, 'committee'. The whole passage refers to the subscriptions of plate and money in lieu of personal service which Pennington, as Lord Mayor, promised 'on the Public Faith'. Rupert's self outweighs all this vicarious performance.] [Line: 89 'whom' _1653_, _1654._] [Line: 92 to] with _1677_.] [Line: 95 Diurnal] Which Cleveland satirized in his first published (prose) work.] [Line: 98 As Wharton at Edgehill. 'Mouths' _1647_, _1687_.] [Line: 100 them] men _1677_.] [Line: 109 Was the] 'Twas the _1647_, _1651_, _1653_: Was that _1677_. 'Was' = 'if it were'.] [Line: 110 designed] _1647_, _1651_, _1653_ 'defin'd', with a clear _f_, not long _s_.] [Line: 113 would] _1647_, _1651_, _1653_ might.] [Line: 114 The text is _1677_, which, however, reads (with the usual want of strait-lacedness) 'straight'. _1651_, _1653_, have 'Yet' for 'And', which is corrected in some of their own group, and 'sweats'.] [Line: 117 some] Like Mr. Badman a little later.] [Line: 120 gig] = 'spin like a top'. Dryden uses the word in the same sense and almost in the same phrase in the Prologue to _Amphitryon_, l. 21: _v. sup._, p. 17.] [Line: 121 giblets] Apparently in the sense of 'offal', 'refuse'.] [Line: 123 Lunsford] Sir Thomas, 1610?-1653. The absurd legends about this Cavalier's 'child-eating' are referred to in, originally, _Hudibras_ and in Lacy's _Old Troop_, and at second-hand (probably from the text also, though it is not quoted) in the notes to Scott's _Woodstock_. _1651_ and _1653_ have 'which' for second 'that'.]
