II, ii, 122. _ly’n perdieu_--“to lie perdu” is properly a military term for, “to be placed as a sentinel or outpost,” especially in an exposed position. _Ly’n_ is one of the many obsolete forms of the past participle of the verb “to lie.” II, ii, 125. _tye my hand_--i. e., tie the ribbon-strings which depended from the sleeve over the hand. II, ii, 163. _slight neglect_--contemptuous disrespect. II, ii, 174. _bile_--all editors after the Q. read _boil_. _Bile_ was an old spelling for _boil_; but in the other sense, one of the “four humours” of medieval physiology, the passage is perfectly clear, and the figure perhaps even more effective. II, ii, 186. _eager relish_--acrid taste. The figure is that the law in itself is often like a sharp and bitter flavor, but that a good judge will sweeten this. II, ii, 250 _s. d._ _Drawes a Curtayne_--the curtain of the alcove or back-stage, within which was placed the “treasure,” thus to be revealed. II, ii, 298. _in which yours_--i. e., “because of the fact of her being yours.” II, ii, 301. _for poore and worthlesse I--I_ for _me_, like other irregularities in pronominal inflection, was not infrequent in Elizabethan times. Cf. Abbott, S. G., § 205. II, ii, 326. _Curtius-like_--like Marcus Curtius, legendary hero of ancient Rome. See Livy, vii, 6. II, ii, _final s. d._ _while the Act is playing_--i. e., while the interlude music is played, at the close of the Act. III, i, 18. _relish_--a trace or tinge of some quality, a suggestion.--In III, i, 20: _a flavor_; or, if read with the Q.’s punctuation, a verb: _give a relish_. It appears preferable, however, to take the passage as punctuated by G., S., which makes _relish_ a noun. III, i, 29. _take me with you_--understand me. III, i, 37. _sudden_--adv. for _suddenly_. The _-ly_ suffix was frequently omitted in Elizabethan times. III, i, 45. _Such as are faire_, etc.--the connection goes back to l. 42, Bellapert taking up again the thread of her remark which Novall’s objection and her summary answer thereto had broken in upon. III, i, 120. _Christian_--probably used here in the colloq. sense of: _a human being_, as distinguished from a brute; a “decent” or “respectable” person. Cf. Shakespeare, _Twelfth Night_, I, iii, 89: “Methinks ... I have no more wit than a Christian, or an ordinary man has.” III, i, 122. _The entertaiment of your visitation_--i. e., the entertainment which your visit received. III, i, 123. _on_ [old spelling for _one_]--i. e., a visitation. III, i, 126. _Muske-cat_--the civet-cat; applied as a term of contempt to a fop, as being a person perfumed with musk.
