=2. 2. 77 a Nupson.= Jonson uses the word again in _Every Man in_, _Wks._ 1. 111: ‘O that I were so happy as to light on a nupson now.’ In _Lingua_, 1607, (_O. Pl._, 4th ed., 9. 367, 458) both the forms _nup_ and _nupson_ are used. The etymology is uncertain. The _Century Dictionary_ thinks _nup_ may be a variety of _nope_. Gifford thinks it may be a corruption of Greek νηπ. =2. 2. 78 with my Master’s peace.= ‘I. e. respectfully, reverently: a bad translation of _cum pace domini_.’--G. =2. 2. 81 a spic’d conscience.= Used again in _Sejanus_, _Wks._ 3. 120, and _New Inn_, _Wks._ 5. 337. =2. 2. 90 The very forked top too.= Another reference to the horned head of the cuckold. Cf. 1. 6. 179, 80. =2. 2. 93 engendering by the eyes.= Cf. Song in _Merch. of V._ 3. 2. 67: ‘It is engender’d in the eyes.’ =2. 2. 98 make benefit.= Cf. _Every Man in_, _Wks._ 1. 127. =2. 2. 104 a Cokes.= Cf. Ford, _Lover’s Melancholy_, _Wks._ 2. 80: ‘A kind of cokes, which is, as the learned term [it], an ass, a puppy, a widgeon, a dolt, a noddy, a----.’ Cokes is the name of a foolish coxcomb in _Bart. Fair_. =2. 2. 112 you neat handsome vessells.= Cf. note 1. 6. 57. =2. 2. 116 your squires of honour.= This seems to be equivalent to the similar expression ‘squire of dames.’ =2. 2. 119-125 For the variety at my times, ... I know, to do my turnes, sweet Mistresse.= I. e., when for variety you turn to me, I will be able to serve your needs. Pug, of course, from the delicate nature of the subject, chooses to make use of somewhat ambiguous phrases. =2. 2. 121.= Thos. Keightley, _N. & Q._ 4. 2. 603, proposes to read: Of that proportion, or in the rule. =2. 2. 123 Picardill.= Cotgrave gives: ‘Piccadilles: Piccadilles; the severall divisions or peeces fastened together about the brimme of the collar of a doublet, &c.’ Gifford says: ‘With respect to the _Piccadil_, or, as Jonson writes it, Picardil, (as if he supposed the fashion of wearing it be derived from Picardy,) the term is simply a diminutive of picca (Span. and Ital.) a spear-head, and was given to this article of foppery, from a fancied resemblance of its stiffened plaits to the bristled points of those weapons. Blount thinks, and apparently with justice, that Piccadilly took its name from the sale of the “small stiff collars, so called”, which was first set on foot in a house near the western extremity of the present street, by one Higgins, a tailor.’ As Gifford points out, ‘Pug is affecting modesty, since he had not only assumed a handsome body, but a fashionable dress, “made new” for a particular occasion.’ See 5. 1. 35, 36. Jonson mentions the _Picardill_ again in the _Challenge at Tilt_, _Wks._ 7. 217, and in the _Epistle to a Friend_, _Wks._ 8. 356. For other examples see Nares, _Gloss_.
