LIVER, "shall _liver_ him" (R271,_c_), deliver. LONGETH, "that _longeth_ to thine office" (M8,_c_), pertains to, is fit and appropriate for. LOREL (IP335,_b_), a generic term of reproach. "I play the _lorell_ or the loyterer."--- Palsgrave, _Lang. Fran._ (1530), 659. LOSELL, "like a loitering _losell_" (R257,_d_), profligate, rake: etymologically, "one who is lost," "a son of perdition." LOSS, "poor we bear the _loss_" (R231,_d_), see Respublica. LOUTS, "we made them _louts_" (R221,_c_), _i.e._ caused them to submit to our demands and disgorge. "To whome grete astates obeyde and _lowttede_."--_Elegy_ _on Henry_ (_c._ 1500), in _Percy's Releg._, 45. LOVE, "Hasty _love_ is soon hot, and soon cold" (WS161,_a_); Heywood (_Works_, E.E.D.S., II. 6,_d_) has "hot _love_, soon cold." LOWLER (JE354,_d_), a variant of Loller = Lollard. Originally applied (_c._ 1300) to a charitable fraternity, and subsequently to pretenders to austere piety and humility. Hence in reproach to certain "heretics," followers of Wyclif and similar purists. LUNGIS (JE357,_c_), in original _Longes_. As this play is, generally speaking, carefully printed the use of the capital seems to point to a proper name, and not to _lunges_ = thrusts, stabs. _Lungis_ is the apocryphal name of the centurion who pierced our Lord with a spear: L. _longinus_. The _O.E.D._ cites this as the origin of _lungis_ = lout, loafer--a generic reproach. On the other hand, if _lunge_ = a stab, it gives an instance of the use of the word some 200 years earlier than Dr. Murray's premier example: in either case the present illustration is useful and interesting. LURDAN, LURDEN (_passim_), a generic reproach and term of abuse; examples are numerous. MACE, see Mass.
