"O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek;"
which, Mr Steevens observes, hath been ridiculed by Shirley in "The School of Compliment"—
"O that I were a flea upon that lip," &c.
[312] So in "Love's Labour's Lost," [Dyce 2d edit. ii. 187]—
"And wear his colours like a tumbler's hoop."
See a note on this passage [in Dyce's Glossary].
[313] "A compound wine mixed with several kinds of spice."—Blount's "Glossographia." Kneeling to drink healths was formerly the common practice of drinkers. So in Ben Jonson's "Cynthia's Revels," act ii. sc. 2: "He is a great proficient in all the illiberal sciences; as cheating, drinking, swaggering, whoring, and such like; never kneels but to drink healths, nor prays but for a pipe of pudding tobacco."
[314] [Foolish.]
[315] [Old copy, A siren like.]
[316] i.e., Pleases me: a Latin phrase. So Cic. "Ad Att." 13, 21. "Inhibere illud tuum quod valde arriserat, vehementer displicet."
