Sc. 6.

"The Roman gods

Lead their successes," etc.

It is evident from the context that the poet wrote Ye, not 'The,' as in Ant. and Cleop. v. 2. They were written alike.


"The mouse ne'er shunn'd the cat as they did budge

From rascals worse than they."

'Budge' in its present sense seems to be a very feeble term; but in Cole's Dictionary we have "To budge, pedem referre;" and in 3 Hen. VI. i. 4,

"With that we charg'd again; but out, alas!

We bodg'd again."
