Silvester, Maiden's Blush.
"God's bread! it makes me mad; day, night, hour, tide [time],
Work, play, alone, in company, still my care
Hath been to have her match'd, and having now provided
A gentleman of noble parentage."
So I arrange this passage, in accordance with the old editions, except the first 4to, the reading of which is different, and is not verse at all. I omit 'time' as injurious to the symmetry of the language; for the words in the first two lines run, as will be seen, pairwise. It may have been a marginal note explanatory of 'tide.' As to the last line but one being of six feet, three such have already occurred in this scene.
"Oh! he's a lovely gentleman, in sooth."
