[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.”

[175] Wide loose breeches.

[176] “Ruffled boot.”—See notes on Middleton, i. 26, viii. 70.
