Line 129. Lovely.—Here used in the sense of loving, tender. Cf. Taming of the Shrew, iii. 2, 125—"And seal the title with a lovely kiss."
Line 156. All and some.—An expression meaning everyone, everything, altogether:
"For which the people blisful, al and somme,
So cryden" ...
(Chaucer, Anelida and Arcite, i. 26.)
"Thou who wilt not love, do this;
Learne of me what Woman is.
Something made of thred and thrumme;
A meere botch of all and some."
(Herrick, Hesperides, i. 100.)
Line 160. Cappes a thrumming.—Cf. Knight of the Burning Pestle, iv. 5—
"And let it ne'er be said for shame that we, the youths of London,
Lay thrumming of our caps at home, and left our custom undone."
To thrum = to beat in the Suffolk dialect.
Line 167. Shrimpe.—This use of the word in the sense of child, offspring (or possibly as a term of endearment, "little one") is not common. It was generally employed contemptuously, and meant a dwarfish or stunted creature, as in 1 Henry VI. ii. 3, 23. See, however, Love's Labour's Lost, v. 2, 594.
