Recently Recovered "Lost" Tudor Plays with some others
English drama -- Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600; Interludes, English; Moralities, English
displeasure" (276,_b_), original _Yeth_--"to you no _dispraise_"
(276,_b_), in original _dyspayre_--"am I a _tagetive_" (277,_c_),
original _tagetyve_, but the first "_stamp_" may be anything: see
_Tagetive_--"I, Wealth, _have_ all treasure" (278,_a_), original
_hatg_: the close alphabetical juxtaposition of _v_ and _t_ on
the one hand and _e_ and _g_ of the misprint (for so I take
it) is curious: see _supra_--"_their_ pain is such" (280,_c_),
original _there_--"_Ill-W._ Why, I came," etc. (284,_a_),
throughout the original Ill-Will, who is given his full name
in the stage direction marking his entrance, is "tagged" in
the margin _Will_--"_H_[_eal_]_th._ Whose," etc. (284,_a_),
the letters in square brackets are rubbed away, but the speech
seems to be to Health rather than Wealth. See Health's speech,
283,_b_.--"and _kindred_ too" (284,_d_), original _kinred_--"lest
that I _mar_" (285,_d_), so I think in original: the letters
are blurred, but the portions visible indicate the rubbed-out
strokes: if so, note the three rhymes, _were_, _near_, _mar_:
Dr. Murray gives _mer_(_e_) as a form current from the 13th
to the 16th centuries--"I _came_ my way" (286,_c_), original
_can_--"_Ill-W._ I would come in" (286,_c_), in original this
speech is given to Wit, but clearly that is a mistake--"_Hance_
Beerpot, a scon router" (287,_a_), so in original, which there
seemed no need to modernise to Hans: see _ante_--"his name is
War" (287,_c_), in view of recent discussion in _N. and Q._ note
the rhyme with _mar_--"with your _gound? stand near_" (287,_c_),
this may possibly read "with your gound-stand near?"--"I am very
glad" (289,_d_), the next line is very indistinct, and even the
paper at this place is opaquer than elsewhere, so debarring
restoration in that wise: it _looks_ like "Some crafty wile for
him [I would] ye had," but _I would_ is very doubtful, unless we
reckon on a glaring misprint--"they shall not _flit_" (290,_c_),
original _flye_--"[_Health_]. Sirs! now go your way" (291,_c_),
the name is not in original, but the lines are apparently as now
attributed--"_w'out_ blane" (294,_b_), _wout_ in original--"If
a man be never so...." (295,_a_), the line appears to have got
loose, and in printing this has caused extra blurring: _so_ may
not be correct; what follows looks like "so ... good and b ...
be but thrifty": but it is uncertain to a degree--"Speak! be not
_afraid_" (295,_d_), in original _afryde_--"What _sayest_ thou
in his face" (296,_a_), obviously misprinted in the original:
the word meant may be _seest_--"for _these_ years twenty"
(296,_b_), _this_ in original--"as good _know_" (296,_d_), in
original _no_--"And _your subtilty known_" (297,_a_), in original
_Aud our_ _subtillitte knowen_--"_Ill-W._ Peace! no mo words"
