Two are on the serving-man, 'In querpo.'
"I am borne sweet lady
To a poore fortune that will keep myself
And Footman, as you see, to bear my sword
In Cuerpo after me."
—Mayne's City Match, a Comedy, 4to, 1658.
"You shall see him in the morning in the gallery—first, at noon in the Bullion, in the evening in Quirpo."—Massinger's Fatal Dowry.
"Dr. Johnson explains querpo, which he says is corrupted from cuerpo (Spanish), as a dress close to the body. Dryden uses it."
On the same character he has a quotation from Religio Regis, 12mo, 1715: King James in his advice to his son Henry, Prince of Wales, says "hawking is not to be condemned, but nevertheless, give me leave to say, it is more uncertain than the others (hunting), and subject to mischances."
On the "She-precise Hypocrite" he has a note—on "Geneva."
Like a Geneva weaver in black, who left
The loom and entered into the ministry
For Conscience Sake.—Mayne's City Match.
On 'door-posts' in 'The Aldermen' he quotes, "a pair of such brothers were fitter for posts without dore indeed, to make a shew at a new-chosen magistrate's gate."—The Widow, 4to, 1652.
Of 'Paul's Walk' there is yet one more illustration. "Walk in the middle Ile in Paul's, and gentlemen's teeth walk not faster at ordinaries than there a whole day togeather about inquirie after newes."—Theeves falling out true men come by their good, or the Belman wanted a clapper, 4to, Lond., 1615.
