The same sort of familiarity is hinted at in Stubbes, _Anatomy of Abuses_ (Part 1, p. 78). Furnivall quotes _Histriomastix_ (Simpson’s _School of Shak._ 2. 50) and _Vindication of Top Knots_, Bagford Collection, 1. 124, in illustration of the subject. Gosson’s _Pleasant Quippes_ (1595) speaks of ‘these naked paps, the Devils ginnes.’ Cf. also _Cyn. Rev._, _Wks._ 2. 266, and _Case is A._, _Wks._ 6. 330. It seems to have been a favorite subject of attack at the hands of both Puritans and dramatists. =2. 6. 76 Downe to this valley.= Jonson uses a similar figure in _Cyn. Rev._, _Wks._ 2. 240 and in _Charis_ (see note 2. 6. 57). =2. 6. 78 these crisped groues.= So Milton, _Comus_, 984: ‘Along the crisped shades and bowers.’ Herrick, _Hesper., Cerem. Candlemas-Eve_: ‘The crisped yew.’ =2. 6. 85 well torn’d.= Jonson’s usual spelling. See _Timber_, ed. Schelling, 64. 33; 76. 22. etc. =2. 6. 85 Billyard ball.= Billiards appears to have been an out-of-door game until the sixteenth century. It was probably introduced into England from France. See J. A. Picton, _N. & Q._. 5. 5. 283. Jonson uses this figure again in _Celeb. Charis_ 9. 19-20. =2. 6. 92 when I said, a glasse could speake=, etc. Cf. 1. 6. 80 f. =2. 6. 100 And from her arched browes=, etc. Swinburne says of this line: ‘The wheeziest of barrel-organs, the most broken-winded of bagpipes, grinds or snorts out sweeter music than that.’--_Study of Ben Jonson_, p. 104. =2. 6. 104 Have you seene.= Sir John Suckling (ed. 1874, p. 79) imitates this stanza: Hast thou seen the down in the air When wanton blasts have tossed it? Or the ship on the sea, When ruder winds have crossed it? Hast thou marked the crocodile’s weeping, Or the fox’s sleeping? Or hast viewed the peacock in his pride, Or the dove by his bride When he courts for his lechery? O, so fickle, O, so vain, O, so false, so false is she! =2. 6. 104 a bright Lilly grow.= The figures of the lily, the snow, and the swan’s down have already been used in _The Fox_, _Wks._ 3. 195. The source of that passage is evidently Martial, _Epig._ 1. 115: Loto candidior puella cygno, Argento, nive, lilio, ligustro. In this place Jonson seems to have more particularly in mind _Epig._ 5. 37: Puella senibus dulcior mibi cygnis ... Cui nec lapillos praeferas Erythraeos, ... Nivesque primas liliumque non tactum. =2. 7. 2, 3 that Wit of man will doe’t.= There is evidently an ellipsis of some sort before _that_ (cf. Abbott, §284). Perhaps ‘provided’ is to be understood.
