Again in Othello : Thou hast not half the power to do me harm, 3 According to the Letter in the Paston Collection, al. ready cited, the cutting off of Suffolk's head was very barbarously performed. One of the lewdest of the ship bade him lay down his head, and he should be fairly ferd [dealt] with, and dye on a sword; and took a rusty sword and smote off his head within half a dozen strokes.' 4 A bezonian is a mean low person. 5 Pompey was killed by Achillas and Septimius at the moment that the Egyptian fishing boat in which they G [Aside. * Smith.

Aside. were, reached the coast, his head being thrown into the sea, a circumstance sufficiently resembling Suffolk's death to bring it to the poet's memory; though his mention of it is not quite accurate. In the old play Pompey is not named. 6 They laid his body on the sands of Dover, and some say that his head was set on a pole by it.—Paston's Letters, vol. i. p. 41. 7 The same phrase was used by the duke of Suffolk to Wolsey and Campeggio in the reign of Henry VIII. With that stepped forth the duke of Suffolk from the king, and by his commandment spake these words, with a stout and hault countenance-" It was never merry England (quoth he) whilst we had cardinals among us."-Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, p. 167, ed. 1825. 8 Tom Nashe speaks of having weighed one of Gabriel Harvey's books against a cade of herrings, and ludicrously says, That the rebel Jack Cade was the first that devised to put red herrings in cades, and from him they have their name.'-Lenten Stuffe, 1599.Cade, however, is derived from cadus, Lai. a cask. We may add, from the accounts of the Celeress of the Abbey of Barking, in the Monasticon Anglicanum, ‘a barrel of herryng shold contain a thousand herryngs, and a cade of herryng six hundred, six score to the hundred. Cade, with more learning than should na. turally fall to his character, alludes to his name from cado, to fall. 9 Little places of prison, set commonly in the mar. ket place for harlots and vagabonds, we call cages.

There shall be, in England, seven half-penny loaves sold for a penny; the threehooped pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it felony, to drink small beer: all the realm shal be in common, and in Cheapside shall my palfry go to grass. And, when I am king (as king I will be). All. God save your majesty ! Cade. I thank you, good people :-there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my • score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord. 'Dick. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. Cade. Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? Some say, the bee stings: but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since. How now; who's there? Enter some, bringing in the Clerk of Chatham.

Nash, in his Pierce Pennilesse, 1595, says, 'I believe hoopes in quart pots were invented to that end, that every man should take his hoope, and no more.' 3 To mend the world by banishing money is an old contrivance of those who did not consider that the quarrels and mischiefs which arise from money, as the signs or tickets of riches, must, if riches were to cease, arise from riches themselves, and could never be at an end till every man was contented with his own share of the goods of life.'-Johnson. 4 This speech was transposed by Shakspeare from a subsequent scene in the old play. 5 i. e. bonds. 6 That is on the top of Letters Missive and such like public acts.

The character of the speaker may countenance such indelicacy here, but in other places our author talks of gelding purses, patrimonies, and continents.

Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm, in erecting a grammar'school: and whereas, before, our forefathers had 6 no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used; and, contrary to the king, his crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper-mill. It will be proved to thy face, that thou hast men about thee, that usually talk of a noun, and a verb; and such abominable words, as no Christian ear can endure to hear. Thou hast appointed justices of peace, to call poor men before them about matters they were not able to answer. Moreover, thou hast put them in prison; and because they could not read, thou hast hanged them ;40 when, indeed, only for that cause, they have been most worthy to live.

The curious reader may see a design, probably from the pencil of Benedetto di Montagna, for a very singular fountain of this kind, in that elegant book the Hypnerotomachia, printed by Aldus in 1499. Le Grand, in his Vie Privee des François, mentions that at a feast made by Phillippe-le-Bon, there was 'une statue d'enfant nu, pose sur une roche, et qui de sa broquette pissait eau de rose. This conduit may, however, have been one set up at the standarde in Cheape, according to Stowe, by John Wels, grocer, mayor, in 1430, with a small cisterne for fresh water, having one cock continually run-lem in the time of Henry VI. Shakspeare's anachroning. 2 'He also put to execution in Southwarke diverse persons, some for breaking this ordinance, and other being his old acquaintance, lest they should bewray his base lineage, disparaging him for his usurped name of Mortimer.

Spenser mentions cloth made at Lincoln in the ideal reign of King Arthur, and has adorned a castle at the same period with cloth of Arras and of Tours. 10 i. e. they were hanged because they could not claim the benefit of clergy. 11 A foot-cloth was a kind of housing, which covered the body of the horse: it was sometimes made of velvet and bordered with gold lace.

It is said also in the same words in Lyly's Euphues and his England, 1580. 3 This passage has been supposed corrupt merely because it was erroneously pointed. I have now placed a comma at Kent, to show that it is parenthetically spoken; and then I see not the slightest difficulty in the meaning of the passage. It was thus absurdly pointed in the folio: When have Iaught exacted at your hands? Kent to maintain, the king, the realm, and you? Large gifts, have I bestow'd on learned clerks,' &c. 4 i. e. in consequence of. 5 The old copy reads the help of a hatchet.' There can be little doubt but that Dr. Farmer's emendation, 'pap of a hatchet,' is the true reading: it is a proper accompaniment to the hempen caudle.' Lyly wrote a pamphlet with the title of Pap with a Hatchet;' and the phrase occurs in his play of Mother Bombie: They give us pap with a spoone, and when we speake for what we love, pap with a hatchet.' 6 i. e. these hands are free from shedding guiltless or innocent blood. his Son-in-law.

Lord Say and he had been previ ously sent to the Tower, and both, or at least the former, convicted of treason at Cade's mock commission of Oyer and Terminer at Guildhall. See W. of Wyrces. ter, p. 470. 9 Alluding to an ancient usage, on which Beaumont and Fletcher have founded their play called the Custom of the Country. See Cowel's Law Dictionary, or Blount's Glossographia, 1651, in voce Marcheta. Blackstone is of opinion that it never prevailed in England, though he supposes it certainly did in Scotland. Boetius and Skene both mention this custom as existing in the time of Malcolm III. A. D. 1057. Sir D. Dalrymple controverts the fact, and denies the actual existence o the custom; as does Whitaker in his History of Manchester. There are several ancient grants from our early kings to their subjects, written in rude verse, and empowering them to enjoy their lands as 'free as heart can wish or tongue can tell. The authenticity of them, however, is doubtful. See Blount's Jocular Tenures. 10 An equivoque alluding to the halberts or bills borne by the rabble.
