[406] "_Id est_, in the place _where a wound is fatal_. Tharsalio, in the _Widow's Tears_ of Chapman, says:--'I have given't him i' th' _speeding-place_ for all his confidence.'"--_Dilke._ [407] Old eds. "'twilt." [408] The appropriate garland for forsaken lovers. [409] Old eds. "thwart without stretched." [410] Old eds. "all." [411] Stockings drawn above the knee. [412] Squares of coloured silk or velvet inserted in a garment. [413] "To judge of the liberality of these notions of dress, we must advert to the days of Gresham and the consternation which a Phenomenon habited like a merchant here described would have excited among the flat round caps, and cloth stockings, upon Change, when those 'original arguments or tokens of a citizen's vocation were in fashion, not more for thrift and usefulness than for distinction and grace.' The blank uniformity to which all professional distinctions in apparel have been long hastening is one instance of the Decay of Symbols among us, which, whether it has contributed or not to make us a more intellectual, has certainly made us a less imaginative people. Shakespeare knew the force of signs:--'a malignant and a turban'd Turk.' 'This meal-cap miller,' says the author of _God's Revenge against Murder_, to express his indignation at the atrocious outrage committed by the miller Pierot upon the person of the fair Marieta."--_Charles Lamb._ [414] See note, p. 331.

SCENE I. LAVERDURE's _lodging_. _One knocks:_ LAVERDURE _draws the curtains, sitting on his bed, apparelling himself; his trunk of apparel standing by him._ _Lav._ Ho! Bidet, lackey. _Enter_ BIDET, _with water and a towel._ _Bid._ Signior. _Lav._ See who knocks. Look, you boy; peruse their habits; return perfect notice. La la, ly ro! [_Exit_ BIDET, _and returns presently._ _Bid._ Quadratus. _Lav._ Quadratus, _mon Dieu, ma vie!_ I lay not at my lodging to-night. I'll not see him now, on my soul: he's in his old perpetuana[422] suit. I am not within. _Bid._ He is fair, gallant, rich, neat as a bridegroom, fresh as a new-minted sixpence; with him Lampatho Doria, Simplicius Faber. 11 _Lav._ And in good clothes? _Bid._ Accoutred worthy a presence.
