'Marg'. As you love me, give way.
'Leon'. It shall be better, I will give none, madam, &c.
The meaning is: 'It shall be a better way, first;—as it is, I will not give it, or any that you in your present mood would wish.'
THE LAWS OF CANDY.
Act I. Speech of Melitus:—
Whose insolence and never yet match'd pride
Can by no character be well express'd,
But in her only name, the proud Erota.
Colman's note.
The poet intended no allusion to the word 'Erota' itself; but says that her very name, 'the proud Erota,' became a character and adage; as we say, a Quixote or a Brutus: so to say an 'Erota,' expressed female pride and insolence of beauty.
