Dagges.—"Pistols."—"My dagge was levelled at his heart."
Livery—It was usual for all retainers of a noble house to wear a uniform-coloured cloth in dress. Thus, in the old play of Sir Thomas More, we find:
"That no man whatsoever
Do walk without the livery of his lord,
Either in cloak or any other garment."
Irish.—Four Masters, vol. v. pp. 1678-9. Camden mentions the capture of O'Neill, and says Essex slew 200 of his men; but he does not mention the treachery with which this massacre was accomplished.
