V, i, 83. _Hell_--a place under a tailor’s shop-board, in which shreds or pieces of cloth, cut off in the process of cutting clothes, are thrown, and looked upon as perquisites. Cf. Overbury’s _Characters, A Taylor_: “Hee differeth altogether from God; for with him the best pieces are still marked out for damnation, and without hope of recovery shall be cast down into hell.” V, i, 88. _Our breakefasts famous for the buttred loaues_--Cf. above l. 28, and Note; also Glapthorne’s _Wit in a Constable_, V, i: “as easily as a Taylor Would do six hot loaves in a morning fasting, And yet dine after.” V, i, 90. _vse a conscience_--show or feel compunction; be tender-hearted. V, i, 91. _hall_--a house or building belonging to a guild or fraternity of merchants or tradesmen. At such places the business of the respective guilds was transacted; and in some instances they served as the market-houses for the sale of the goods of the associated members. V, i, 97. _compleate Mounsieur_--perfect gentleman. V, i, 102. _pantofle_--slipper; here used figuratively for: the shoe-maker’s profession. V, ii, 27. _a barbarous Sythian_--Cf. Purchas’ _Pilgrimage_ (ed. 1613, p. 333): “They [The Scythians] cut off the noses of men, and imprinted pictures in the flesh of women, whom they overcame: and generally their customes of warre were bloudie: what man soever the Scythian first taketh, he drinketh his bloud: he offereth to the King all the heads of the men he hath slaine in battell: otherwise he may not share in the spoile: the skinnes of their crownes flaid off, they hang at their horse bridles: their skinnes they use to flay for napkins and other uses, and some for cloathing.... These customes were generall to the Scythians of Europe and Asia (for which cause _Scytharum facinora patrare_, grew into a proverbe of immane crueltie, and their Land was justly called Barbarous).” V, ii, 40. _made no hornes at me_--to “make horns” at any one was the common method of taunting one with having horns,--i. e., with being a cuckold. V, ii, 51. _made vp with_--set with the expression of. V, ii, 102. _by pieces_--in part. V, iii, 8.--Charmi’s speech is addressed to Charalois, as is that of Du Croy which follows it. V, iii, 18 ff.--M., f. insert _when_ after _that_ of l. 18. This is probably the correct reading. It would be possible, however, to let the line stand without alteration, if the _that_ of l. 20 be taken as coordinate with the _that_ of l. 18, introducing a second clause depending on _am sorry_ (instead of correlative with _so_ to introduce a result-clause). With this reading, _left_ (l. 22) would be taken as an ellipsis for _being left_; with the emended reading, for _was left_. Though the construction is in doubt, the sense is easy. V, iii, 22. _vndermine_--an object, _it_, is understood,--i. e., _the building of my life_. V, iii, 34. _her--its_ was rare in Elizabethan usage. Cf. Abbott, S. G., §§ 228, 229.
