IV, i, 13. _Cell_--so in the Q. and all later texts. Yet the word is utterly unsatisfactory to the sense of the passage; it should almost certainly be _coil_--i. e., tumult, confusion, fuss, ado. Cf. Field in _Amends for Ladies_, II, iv: “Here’s a coil with a lord and his sister.” IV, i, 23. _a lace_--a trimming of lace. IV, i, 27. _pickadille_--the expansive collar fashionable in the early part of the seventeenth century. IV, i, 27. _in puncto_--in point; i. e., in proper condition, in order. IV, i, 32. _Iacobs staffe_--an instrument formerly used for measuring the altitude of the sun; a cross-staff. IV, i, 32. _Ephimerides_--a table showing the positions of a heavenly body for a series of successive days. IV, i, 39-40. _if he would but cut the coate according to the cloth still_--“to cut one’s coat after one’s cloth” was: “to adapt one’s self to circumstances;” “to measure expense by income.” The point of its employment here is not plain; it is doubtful if anything were very clear in Field’s own mind, who was merely trying to hit off an epigrammatical phrase. Perhaps, “make the coat match the man.” IV, i, 72. _Narcissus-like_--like Narcissus, in classic myth. See Ovid, _Meta._, iii, 341-510. IV, i, 72. _should_--G., f. read _shouldst_, but the breach of agreement between subject and verb is to be explained by the attraction of the verb to the third person by the interposed _Narcissus-like_; just as four lines further on we find _shouldst_ for _should_, because of the similar intrusion between subject and verb of (_but thy selfe sweete Lord_). IV, i, 92. _a Barber Surgeon_--formerly the barber was also a regular practitioner in surgery and dentistry. Cf. Beaumont & Fletcher, _The Knight of the Burning Pestle_, III, iv. IV, i, 96. _ouerthrowne_--M., f. read _overflown_, i. e., become excessive or inordinate; so full that the contents run over the brim. The reading of the Q., however, is quite intelligible,--taking _overthrown_ in the sense of _thrown too strongly_. IV, i, 135. _Colbran_--more properly _Colbrand_ or _Collebrand_, a wicked giant in the medieval romance of Guy of Warwick. He is the champion of the invading King of Denmark, who challenges the English King, Athelstan, to produce a knight who can vanquish Colbrand, or to yield as his vassal. In this hour of need Guy appears, fights with the giant, and kills him. IV, i, 137. _hee’l make some of you smoake_,--i. e., “make some of you _suffer_.” Cf. Beaumont & Fletcher, _The Knight of the Burning Pestle_, I, ii, 136: “I’ll make some of ’em smoke for’t;” and Shakespeare, _Titus Andronicus_, IV, iii, 111: “Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome.”
