FOOTNOTES:

[477] Moderation.

[478] So Shakespeare, in "Romeo and Juliet," act iii. sc. 3—

"Hang up philosophy, Unless philosophy can make a Juliet!"

[479] This present is a purse, as appears afterwards, with angels in it.

[480] That is, "as often as these gloves hide these hands from the sun."

[481] Old copies, distinct.

[482] Young is omitted in the 4^o of 1616, and supplied in the two others.

[483] Him has apparently dropped out in the oldest 4^o.

[484] The copy of 1616 reads, impudent villany.

[485] i.e., As we say now, "scarcely in her teens."

[486] Old copies, No.

[487] The two later quartos both read, then farewell maidenhead.

[488] i.e., "Will it do," or "Will it suit." As in "Twelfth Night," act ii. sc. 2, "How will this fadge!"

[489] We have here another instance to show that formerly Jews and usurers were furnished with large false noses on the stage.

[490] I'll, that I will is the reading of the copies of 1626 and 1631. [All the copies, I'll, apparently for ay.]

[491] [Old copies, Such is his raiment.]

[492] Laurentia aad Heigham have been talking apart.
