_... he that will now hit the mark, must shoot through the law; ... Why, the law makes a man happy, without respecting any other merit: a simple scholar, or none at all, may be a lawyer;_ und ferner als Erwiderung auf den _Satirom._ vgl. _Apol. Dial._ (p. 377): ... _why they say you taxed_ _The law, and lawyers; captains, and the players, By their particular names._ Author. _It is not so. I used no name._ =1995/7.= Diese Zeilen gehen zurück auf _Cynth. Rev._ II. 1., wo Mercury von Anaides (= ~Dekker~) sagt (p. 196): _... he has two essential parts of the courtier, pride and ignorance; ... ’Tis Impudence itself, Anaides_. -- Arrogance und impudence werden Horace-~Jonson~ übrigens schon im _Poetaster_ vorgeworfen: IV. 1. p. 329. Dem. _... tickle him i’faith, for his arrogancy, and his impudence, in commending his own things; ..._ u. V. 1. p. 365. Virg.: _... our Horace now stands taxed Of impudence, self-love, and arrogance_, etc. Vgl. auch das _Both impudent, and ignorant enough_ aus _Cynth. Rev._ III. 2. p. 214; cf. Anm. z. Z. 423. =1998.= puncke = punch, wohl unter Anspielung auf punck. =2001ff.= enthalten wiederum Anspielungen auf _Ev. Man in._ u. _Poetaster_. thou cryest ptrooh: Vgl. ~Chapman~, ed. ~Pearson~, II. p. 394: _and cry phtroh, ho, ptrough_ u. die Anm. 2170 in _Pedantius_ (_Mat._ VIII). =2002.= Flat-caps: Unter Heinrich VIII. waren flache, runde Mützen sehr modern; als sie aus der Mode kamen, wurden sie noch lange nachher von Bürgern getragen, die darob verspottet wurden. In _Ev. Man out_ sagt Kitely, der Kaufmann, [they] _mock me all over, from my flat cap, unto my shining shoes_. (II. 1. p. 31.) [vgl. aus ~Dekker’s~ _Wonderful Year_ (~Grosart~, I, 116) _the sight of a flat-cap was more dreadfull to a Lob then the discharging of a Caliuer_.] Cuckolds, and banckrupts.... punckes & cockatrices beziehen sich auf _Albius_ und _Chloe_ im _Poetaster_. IV. 1, 327. Tuc.... _Come hither, cockatrice: here’s one, will set thee up, my sweet punk._ p. 328. Alb: ... _they are my wife’s verses;_ ... Tuc: _Show’hem, bankrupt,_ ... IV. 3 p. 333 Ovid: _Take his wife, Mars, and make him cuckold quickly._ Tuc: _Come, cockatrice._ p. 334 Tuc: ... _Punk, kiss me, punk._ =2003.= Zu cockatrice vgl. noch besonders: _Ev. Man out_, I. 1. p. 136. Sogliardo: ... _an he be a scholar, you know I cannot abide him; I had as lief see a cockatrice, specially as Cockatrices go now_. -- _Ev. Man out_, IV. 4. p. 223: Shift: ... _I am to go before the cockatrice you saw this morning_. -- _Cynth. Rev._ IV. 1. p. 246. Gelaia: ... _and withal calls me at his pleasure I know not how many cockatrices, and things._ und folgende gelungene Interpretation des Wortes bei ~Marston~, _The Dutch Courtezan_, I. 2. p. 18. _Whore? fie, whore! you may call her a courtezan, a cockatrice, or (as that worthy spirit of an eternal happiness said) a suppository._
