[172] “Do me right and dub me knight.”—Part of an old catch. So Silence in 2 Henry IV., v. 3:—
“Do me right
And dub me knight,
Samingo.”
Again in Nashe’s Summer’s Last Will and Testament:—
“All. Monsieur Mingo for quaffing did surpass,
In cup, in can, or glass.
Bac. Ho, well shot a toucher, a toucher.
For quaffing Toy doth pass
In cup, in can, or glass.
All. God Bacchus, do him right,
And dub him knight.”
[173] Old eds. “mine.”
[174] Old eds. “Millane;” but Galeatzo, son of the Duke of Florence, was the suitor whom Piero had chosen. Cf. [p. 91:]—
“Young Florence prince, to you my lips must be,
For a remittance of your interest.”
