Act II.
Sc. 1.
"Young Abraham Cupid, he that shot so trim."
Mr. Dyce reads auburn, and he gives undoubted instances of Abraham or Abram being used for this word. Still I incline to the general reading, first given by Upton, of Adam, with an allusion to Adam Bell, the great archer; and I think there may be another to Adam, the first man; for Shakespeare may have known that in classic mythology Love was the first of beings. There would be humour, then, in 'young Adam' denoting the union of youth and age.
Sc. 2.
"Her vestal-livery is but pale and green."
The reading of 4to 1597; the others and the folio have 'sick and green.'
