"'Tis burnt, and so is all the meat _that's here_." I had also conjectured, like Capell, 'all _the rest of_.' * * * * * SC. 2. "Is it possible, friend Licio, that [mistress] Bianca." Pope also made this metric correction. _Master_ and _Mistress_ do not occur in this play as titles. * * * * * "Never to marry with her, though she would entreat _me_." * * * * * "Would all the world but he had quite foresworn _her_." Rowe also added _her_. * * * * * "An ancient angel coming down the hill." If 'angel' be right, it must mean that he was an angel of deliverance to them. Singer and Dyce quote from Cotgrave's Dictionary "_Angelot à la grosse escaille_. _An old Angel_, and by metaphor a fellow of the old, sound, honest, and worthy stamp." But how could Biondello know his character? Some read _engle_, properly _ingle_; but this is rather, comrade, bosom-friend. In Gascoigne's Supposes, from which this part of the play is taken, he is termed "good soul," and it may be that the poet's word here was _uncle_--the conjecture also of a Mr. Bubier, in the Cambridge Edition--a term used of elderly persons. (See Index _s. v._ Nuncle.) Just afterwards he is said to be "surely like a father" and (iv. 5) Katherine says to the real Vincentio "Now I perceive thou art a reverend father." * * * * * "Master _he is_ a marcantant or a pedant." 'Marcantant' is the Italian _mercante_, _mercatante_, or _mercadante_. It may be corrupt. * * * * * "And what of him, Tranio?" As this is so very abrupt and not very clear, we might conjecture an effacement of _will you make_ or something similar. * * * * * "That you are like to Sir Vincentio." Here, again, the printer has put 'Sir' for _Signior_, and probably added the 'to' to make up the metre. * * * * * "_Come_, go with me to clothe you as becomes you." The 2nd folio reads 'Go with me, _sir_.' * * * * * SC. 3. "Why then the mustard; _and_ without the beef." * * * * * "I gave him no order; I gave him the stuff _only_." * * * * * SC. 4. "Ay, _ay_, what else? and but I be deceiv'd." * * * * * "'Twere good _that_ he were school'd--Fear you not him." * * * * * "To have him match'd; and if you please to like _it_ No worse than I, upon some agreement, _sir_, Me shall you find ready and willing _both_ With one consent to have her so bestow'd."
