Or by his name in paper sent, appoynted as a geast."

46. [One fire,] etc. Alluding to the old proverb that "fire drives out fire." Cf. J.C. iii. 1. 171: "As fire drives out fire, so pity pity;" Cor. iv. 7. 54: "One fire drives out one fire; one nail, one nail," etc.

48. [Holp.] Used by S. oftener than helped, for both the past tense and the participle.

49. [Cures with.] Is cured by. S. does not elsewhere use cure intransitively. Languish occurs again as a noun in A. and C. v. 2. 42: "That rids our dogs of languish." On the passage cf. Brooke:—

"Ere long the townishe dames together will resort:

Some one of bewty, favour, shape, and of so lovely porte:

With so fast fixed eye, perhaps thou mayst beholde:

That thou shalt quite forget thy loue, and passions past of olde.
