[114] A famous comic trick in the early plays. Adam is a late figure of the Vice type. Compare _Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay_ (V. 2) in which Miles is carried off on a Devil's back. [115] Bold, brave. [116] An instrument used by pick-pockets in cutting purses. [117] To shave or cut, therefore to pillage, plunder. [118] To draw, to pour; here used in the sense of "to fill." [119] Let all the standing-bowls go round. [120] This is the emendation by J. C. Smith, given in Collins' edition, of the unintelligible "Lamana" of the quartos. [121] A reminiscence of Kyd's _Spanish Tragedy_ (Scene XII), in which Hieronimo enters with a poniard and a rope. [122] Decoys. [123] Know not. [124] A very faithful paraphrase of chapter 4 of the book of _Jonah_. [125] Wide breeches, here breeches pockets. [126] The head of a red-herring. The term may have become synonymous with the fish itself. Adam's meaning cannot be said to be very clear. [127] I could endure. [128] A fine white bread. [129] Breeches. [130] The quartos give "Lepher," which is unintelligible. This reading is Dyce's conjecture. It is of little moment that these places are not plains but mountains. [131] Own. [132] The title in the quartos was "The History of Orlando Furioso, one of the Twelve Peers of France." [133] Judgment. [134] "To man" is a term in falconry, and means to accustom to man, to make tractable. [135] Cuirasses. [136] A false quantity. [137] Dominion.

[142] Same as French _rebattre_, beat back. [143] An allusion to the recent repulse of the Spanish Armada. [144] Blasts. [145] Giglot, a wanton woman. [146] Thraso and Gnatho were well-known characters in the _Eunuchus_ of Terence, and references to them are very common in the works of Elizabethan writers. [147] Hurled, dashed to pieces. [148] In his _Francesco's Fortunes_ Greene satirizes "Ave Cæsar" as it occurs in _Edward III._, presumably by Marlowe. [149] Love. [150] Confounded, dismayed. [151] At this point the Alleyn manuscript begins. [152] The first four of these lines are, with the exception of the last half of the first line, from the 117th stanza of the twenty-seventh Canto of Ariosto's _Orlando Furioso_; the other four are from the 121st stanza of the same Canto. [153] A corrupt passage is here supplemented by words from the Alleyn manuscript. [154] A streamer attached to a lance. [155] See _Odyssey_ X. 302, and following. A stock reference in Euphuism. [156] A phrase signifying excess; probably "understanding" should be supplied. [157] Mad. [158] Another false quantity. [159] The designation in the quartos is "the Clown." [160] Makes Canopus look dark. [161] Fiddler is undoubtedly played by Tom, the clown who had before played Angelica. See the next speech.
