Trise, "trise him out at your gates" (M[21],d), haul, pull.

Trust, (a) "in trust is treason" (M[33],b), in Heywood (Works, E.E.D.S., II., 67,c).

(b) "best be trust" (R[196],a), i.e. Avarice has called his minions back to coach them, and bids them be ready (to truss = to tuck up the gown and generally to prepare oneself). On the other hand, Mr. Magnus (E.E.T.S.) says, "Mr. Daniel has explained this phrase as a nickname for a dishonest fellow, with a by-play on trussed (i.e. hanged)."

Uncurtess, "so uncurtess/, so inconsiderate" (M[33],b; 34,a), unthoughtful, careless, uncivil.

Underfong, "war or battle to underfong" (N[90],a), undertake, manage, wage.

Unrightful, "In unrightful to say pride of him than" (JE[366],c), the passage is obscure or corrupt; unrightful occurs in Bale (Works, E.E.D.S.), 59,c—"justices unrightful."

Unthrifts rent (JE[364],c)—"let us go to Unthrift's a while" (JE[361],c), a rent = tenements or houses let out to others; often named after the proprietor: Fulwood's Rents, Holborn, is (1907) a case in point.

Until (passim), to, unto.

Valeslie, "you liest valeslie" (R[210],c), valorously.

Vowels: "worship of the five vowels" (M[22],c), the passage as it stands is obscure. Furnivall and Pollard read v. vowellys, Manly, v voli ellys and Brandl, volvellys. I have perforce followed the first-named as the most likely to be according to the original, but in view of the uncertainty as to the accuracy of either transcript, little can be said (see Mankind). Manly (whom the E.E. Text editors follow) suggests vij (or xx) devellys; Brandl dewellys? The phrasing is suggestive, "worship" (cf. "worship of the new year": see New Year), and "v vowels," which of course is distinctive, but I am quite at a loss to suggest an explanation. If the allusion is to gaming, vowels may be a miscript for volvelles, quite a different word. Whitney says of it—"A small and generally circular movable plate affixed to an engraving containing a dial or lottery, and made to carry the index hand or pointer." There is a paragraph in Notes and Queries (Sixth Series, vol. xi. p. 217) referring to "volvelles," and it seems pretty evident from this that they were well known as instruments of chance; there is an allusion in Withers' Emblems, where he makes use of the "Index" or "volvelle" in a moral sense. One could understand the "worship of volvelles," if this were a gambling game, as one can understand the "worship of dice."
