Page 98. v. 85. _gose_] i. e. goose. v. 88. _shone_] i. e. shoes. v. 90. _baudeth_] i. e. fouls. “I _Baudy_ or fyle or soyle with any filthe, _Ie souylle_.” Palsgrave’s _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530. fol. clviii. (Table of Verbes). “The auter clothes, and the vestementes shulde be very clene, not _baudy_, nor torne,” &c. Hormanni _Vulgaria_, sig. E iiii. Page 98. v. 94. _wonnynge_] i. e. dwelling. v. 96. _Sothray_] i. e. Surrey. v. 97. _stede_] i. e. place. v. 98. _Lederhede_] i. e. Leatherhead; see p. 157. v. 99. _tonnysh gyb_] The epithet _tonnysh_ is perhaps derived from her occupation of _tunning_ (see note, p. 158), or perhaps it may allude to her shape: _gyb_ is properly a male cat (see note, p. 122. v. 27); but the term, as here, is sometimes applied to a woman; “And give a thousand by-words to my name, And call me Beldam, _Gib_, Witch, Night-mare, Trot.” Drayton’s _Epistle from Elinor Cobham to Duke Humphrey_,—_Poems_, p. 175. ed. 1619. fol. v. 100. _syb_] i. e. related, akin. v. 102. _noppy_] i. e. nappy. v. 103. _port sale_] If the right reading, must be used here for—sale in general. “Port-sale, The Sale of Fish as soon as it is brought into the Harbour; also an Out-cry or Publick Sale of any Commodity.” Kersey’s _Dict._ v. 105. _To sweters, to swynkers_] i. e. to those who sweat and labour hard,—to labourers of various kinds. “For we can neyther _swyncke nor sweate_.” _Pierce Plowman_, sig. I ii. ed. 1561. v. 110. _Now away the mare_] Skelton has the same expression in his _Magnyfycence_, v. 1342. vol. i. 268. Compare _The Frere and the Boye_; “Of no man he had no care, But sung, hey howe, _awaye the mare_.” Ritson’s _An. Pop. Poetry_, p. 37. and _Jyl of Braintfords Testament_, n. d.; “Ah sira, mary _away the mare_, The deuil giue thee sorow and care.” sig. B ii. and _A new Commodye_ &c. _of the bewte & good propertes of women_, &c. n. d. “Tush syr be mery let pas _awey the mare_.” sig. A ii. The words are doubtless a portion of some song or ballad. In Ravenscroft’s _Melismata, Musicall Phansies_, &c. 1611, is a song (No. 6) supposed to be sung by “Seruants out of Seruice” who “are going to the Citie to looke for new;” “Heigh ho, _away the Mare_, Let vs set aside all care, If any man be disposed to trie, Loe here comes a lustie crew, That are enforced to crie A new Master, a new,” &c. Page 99. v. 111. _sley_] i. e. slay. v. 115. _Wyth, Fyll the cup, fyll_] So in _The Hye Way to the Spyttell Hous_, by Copland, n. d.; “_With fyll the pot, fyll_, and go fyll me the can.” Utterson’s _Early Pop. Poet._ ii. 15. v. 122. _Hardely_] i. e. Assuredly.
