H iiii. v. 320. _vnlast_] i. e. unlaced. v. 323. _all hallow_] i. e. all saints,—perhaps, All-saints’ day. v. 324. _It was a stale to take_ _The deuyll in a brake_] For “_stare_,” which is the reading of all the eds., I have substituted “_stale_”—i. e. lure, decoy. “_Stale_ of fowlys takinge.” _Prompt. Parv._ ed. 1499. So in Marmyon’s _Hollands Leaguer_, 1632; “And if my skill not failes me, her I’ll make _A Stale, to take_ this Courtier _in a brake_.” Act ii. sc. 1. sig. D 3. Compare too an epigram by Heywood; “Take time when time commeth: are we set time to take? Beware time, in meane time, _take_ not vs _in brake_.” _Workes_, sig. Q 3. ed. 1598. and Cavendish’s _Life of Wolsey_; “At last, as ye have heard here before, how divers of the great estates and lords of the council lay in a-wait with my Lady Anne Boleyn, to espy a convenient time and occasion _to take_ the cardinal _in a brake_.” p. 147. ed. 1827.—In our text, and in the passages just quoted, _brake_ seems to be used for trap: among its various significations, it means a strong wooden frame for confining the feet of horses, preparatory to their being shod; see Gifford’s note on Jonson’s _Works_, iii. 463. Page 105. v. 327. _gambone_] i. e. gammon. v. 328. _resty_] i. e. reasty, rancid. v. 330. _Angry as a waspy_]—_waspy_, i. e. wasp.

Fr._, 1530. fol. ccccxi. (Table of Verbes). —— _gaspy_] i. e. gasp. Page 106. v. 332. _go bet_] Compare; “Arondel, queth Beues tho, For me loue _go bet_, go.” _Sir Beues of Hamtoun_, p. 129. Maitl. ed. “_Go bet_, quod he, and axe redily, What corps is this,” &c. Chaucer’s _Pardoneres Tale_, v. 12601. ed. Tyrwhitt,— who observes that in the following lines of Chaucer’s _Legend of Dido_ (288), _go bet_ seems to be a term of the chase; “The herd of hartes founden is anon, With hey, _go bet_, pricke thou, let gon, let gon.” “He hath made me daunce, maugre my hede, Amonge the thornes, hey _go bette_.” _The Frere and the Boye_,—_An. Pop. Poetry_, p. 46. ed. Ritson,— who supposes the words to be the name of some old dance. Page 106. v. 333. _met_] i. e. measure. v. 334. _fet_] i. e. fetched. v. 335. _spycke_] “_Spyk_ of flesshe.
