This 'function' of the Devil seems to allow a connection[632] with the Latin _titivillitium_,[633] "a vile thyng of no value" (Cooper), something very small and trifling, like the "faylynges and neglygences in syllables" in praying and reading of the church offices. In Udall's time the ancient Devil had degenerated, and his name had become a byword for a low, miserable fellow; cf. the play of _Thersites_ (Dodsley, 1, 424):-- Tinkers and taborers, tipplers, taverners, Tittifills, triflers, turners and trumpers, and Heywood's _Proverbs_, 1 ch. 10 (40):-- There is no moe such titifyls in Englandes ground || To hold with the hare and run with the hound. =D. Mumblecrust and the Maids (I. iii.).=--1. _Mumblecrust._ Cooper quotes the same name from Dekker's _Satiromastix_, and a Madge Mumblecrust from _Misogonus_ (1577). Jack M. is the name of a beggar in _Patient Grissel_, IV. iii (cf. Cooper). Different compounds are Mumble-news (Shakesp. _L.L.L._ V. ii, 464) and Sir John Mumble-matins (Pilkington, _Exposition upon Aggeus_, 1, 2). 2. _Tibet._ Tib (=Isabella) was the typical servant's name; cf. _G.G.N._; Tib and Tom in _Ail's Well_, II. ii, 24; "every coistrel inquiring for his Tib," _Pericles_, IV. vi, 176, etc. 3. In _Aly face_: the first part indicates the colour of her nose and the desire of her heart. The whole dialogue of these women takes us back to the times when it was no dishonour to women to go "to the ale" and enjoy themselves there with their gossips; cf. _P. Pl._, C. 7, 362; _Chester Pl._, 1, 53, etc. =E. The Mock Requiem= (III. iii, 53) is one of the latest instances of parodies of church services such as are found everywhere in the literature of the Middle Ages. One of the oldest of such parodies is the _Drunkard's Mass_, _Missa Gulæ_, printed in Halliwell and Wright's _Reliquiæ Antiquæ_, 2, 208 (cf. the _Paternoster Goliæ_); the _Officium Lusorum_ (printed in _Carmina Burana_, 248); the _Sequentia falsi evangelii sec. Marcam_ (_Initium S. Evangelii sec. marcas argenti_) in Du Meril, _Poés. Pop. Lat. Ant._ XII. s.p. 407, etc. In English Lit. we find similar parodies in the _Requiem to the Favourites of Henry VI_. (Ritson's _Songs_, 101; Furnivall's _Polit. Rel. and Love Songs_, 6: For Jake Napes Sowle, _Placebo_, and _Dirige_); in _Passages_ of the _Court of Love_ (Chalmers, _Engl. Poets_, 1, 377), in the _Placebo Dilexi_ in Skelton's _Phyllyp Sparowe_ (perhaps the source for Udall's happy thought); in Dunbar's _Will of Maister Andr. Kennedy_, etc. The parallels to Udall's parody are to be found in Maskell's _Monumenta Ritualia_,[634] in the _Manuale et Processionale ad usum insignis Eccles. Eboracensis_,[635] or in the _Rituale Romanum_.[636] The references are, for-- 1. The _Placebo Dilexi_ (Ps. 114), Man. Ebor. 60; Sarum 57*. 2. The Antiphona _Ne quando_ [_rapiat ut leo animam meam_, etc., Ps. 7], Ebor. 67. 68; Sarum 69*; Rit. Rom. 166. 167.
