[30] Rouse.—A full glass, a bumper.
[31] Unfellowed.—i.e., not matched.
[32] To Islington to the Sign of the Maindenhead.—This then roadside Public-house, we are informed from recent enquiries, was situate at the corner of Maiden Lane, Battle Bridge, now known as King's Cross, from a statue of George IV.—a most execrable performance taken down 1842. The "Old Pub" is turned into a gin palace, and named the Victoria, while Maiden Lane—an ancient way leading from Battle Bridge to Highgate Hill—is known now as York Road.
[33] Guy of Warwick.—There are several versions and editions of this work. In the book of the Stationers' Company, John Trundle—he at the sign of No-Body—on the 15th of January, 1619, entered "a play, called the Life and Death of Guy Earl of Warwick, written by John Day and Thomas Dekker." See Baker's Biog. Dram., page 274, vol. 2.—"Well, if he read this with patience I'll be gelt, and troll ballads for Master Trundle yonder, the rest of my mortality."—Ben Jonson's Every Man in his Humour, act i. sc. 2.
