TIDE, "tarry here this _tide_" (M23,_d_), time, season. TINKERS, "though _tinkers_ should lack work" (R213,_d_), cf. "Like Banbury tinkers, that in mending one hole make three." TO, "thou must needs _to_" (N50,_d_), elliptic; _i.e._ "go to." TO-BEATEN, "all _to-beaten_" (M19,_c_), _to_ = A.S. prefix implying deterioration, destruction, or completeness; _i.e._ beaten unmercifully. TO-GLORIED, "all _to-gloried_" (M34,_c_): see previous entry. _To-gloried_ = finically fine or grandiloquent (_i.e._ your phraseology is destructive of "measure"). TORITY, "ye give me _tority_" (R266,_c_), authority. TRENTHAM (SIR WILLIAM OF TRENTHAM). As already stated (see _John Evangelist_) the entrances and exits, and the connection between different parts of this play of _John the Evangelist_, are by no means obvious. At 356,_b_, Eugenio, referring to Irisdision, says he may well be called "witless Sir Will"; and when Eugenio speaks of the coming of Sir William of Trentham (357,_a_), in comes John the Evangelist. The most feasible explanation is that the part of John the Evangelist was played by a parish priest whose name was Sir William of Trentham. The clerical use of _Sir_ = _dominus_ is common, but the only reference I can find to Trentham (near Stoke-on-Trent) is in the 5th volume of "_Magna Britannia_," pp. 92 and 154. In both places there is mention of a monastery of "Canons Regular of St. Augustine," built in the reign of William Rufus. According to Dugdale and Speed it was valued, at the time of the dissolution, at £106, 3s. 10d. per annum. As the rule of the Augustines enjoins poverty, chastity, and humility, my suggestion receives confirmation of a sort at 359,_b_ and _c_, where "wilful poverty" is enjoined. As regards Irisdision, who is obviously the same as John the Evangelist and Sir William of Trentham, this is a puzzle. Eugenio is Greek, but an attempt at making Greek of Irisdision is not quite satisfactory, and may seem somewhat far-fetched. _Iris_ in Greek mythology was a messenger of the gods, who are sometimes noted collectively by _Dis_--is Irisdision intended to mean "a divine messenger"? TREPITT, "take you here a _trepitt_" (M7,_d_), blow. TRISE, "_trise_ him out at your gates" (M21,_d_), haul, pull. TRUST, (_a_) "_in trust is treason_" (M33,_b_), in Heywood (_Works_, E.E.D.S., II., 67,_c_). (_b_) "best be _trust_" (R196,_a_), _i.e._ Avarice has called his minions back to coach them, and bids them be ready (_to truss_ = to tuck up the gown and generally to prepare oneself). On the other hand, Mr. Magnus (E.E.T.S.) says, "Mr. Daniel has explained this phrase as a nickname for a dishonest fellow, with a by-play on _trussed_ (_i.e._ hanged)." UNCURTESS, "so _uncurtess/_, so inconsiderate" (M33,_b_; 34,_a_), unthoughtful, careless, uncivil.
