[266] What then? [267] Gnatho is the parasite in the _Eunuchus_ of Terence. Here and elsewhere in this play the name refers specifically to Ateukin. [268] Printed "Gnatho." [269] Silent. [270] The text of this Chorus is very corrupt. [271] A piece of money worth from 6_s._ to 10_s._ Puns upon the several meanings of the word were frequent. [272] Strike, beat. [273] ϕιλαυτία, self-love, Collier's emendation of a meaningless passage in the quartos. [274] The word "gentlemen" is addressed to the audience. [275] An Irish coin below the value of the earliest shilling, so called from having a harp on it. [276] Babbler, chatterer. [277] Strut. [278] This lyrical passage was undoubtedly sung. [279] See _Æneid_ XII., 411; a favourite allusion of the Euphuists. [280] Again addressed to the audience. [281] A church seat for loungers, the original in Carfax Church, Oxford. To sit on Pennyless Bench indicated extreme poverty. [282] Kittredge's emendation. For the unintelligible "lakus" of the quarto one would accept Collier's conjecture "Jack-ass," were it not for the fact, enunciated by Collins (after N. E. D.), that this word was unknown before the eighteenth century. [283] Collier's emendation for "a rapier and dagger," it being clear that Slipper has miscalled the weapons. [284] So also in the quarto, line 5, scene v. of this act, French "oui" is spelled "wee." [285] Shrew. [286] Love. [287] The sword of Sir Bevis of Southampton; the common synonym for a sword. [288] Manly's suggested emendation of the meaningless "His grave, I see, is made," of the quarto. [289] Revive, resuscitate him. [290] Waiting for. [291] "To the speeches of the King of England throughout this scene is prefixed _Arius_. Collier remarks, _History of English Dramatic Poetry_, iii. 161, 'It is a singular circumstance that the King of England is called _Arius_, as if Greene at the time he wrote had some scruple in naming Henry VIII. on account of the danger of giving offence to the Queen and Court.'"--COLLINS. [292] Pillage, plunder. [293] Tried, skilled. [294] Then. [295] From this point the scene is confused. [296] Grimaces. [297] Truest love of all. [298] By dramatic convention this speech should belong to the King of Scots. [299] One who impounds stray cattle. [300] Lower. [301] Inroad. [302] In ballad style, though not found in the ballad "The Jolly Pinder of Wakefield." [303] Affections. [304] For "enjoin." [305] A woman who sells "souce" or brine for pickling. [306] "Allusions to velvet as being costly, fine, and luxurious are very common in the Elizabethan writers."--COLLINS. [307] Pay the penalty for. [308] Lose. [309] Here the scene may be supposed to have changed, although George has not left the stage. In the quarto the scene runs on without break. [310] Through a door at the back of the stage. [311] Love. [312] Colour, complexion.
