- Scene V] Notes 189
— Take Two Quarts of pure good Cream, and a Quarter of a Pound
of the best Almonds. Stamp them in the Cream and boyl, with
Amber and Musk therein. Then take a Pint of Sack in a basin,
and set it on a Chafing-dish, till it be blood-warm ; then take the
Yolks of Twelve Eggs, with Four of their Whites, and beat them
well together ; and so put the Eggs into the Sack. Then stir all
together over the coals, till it is all as thick as you would have it.
If you now take some Amber and Musk, and grind the same quite
small, with sugar, and strew this on the top of your Possit, I prom-
ise you that it shall have a most delicate and pleasant taste." An-
other receipt, given by the same editor, allows " eggs just ten " to a
pint of sack, with the other " ingrediencies."
44. Yearn your heart. Grieve you. Cf. Rich. II. v. 5. 76 : "O,
how it yearn'd my heart," etc. The verb is used intransitively in
the same sense ; as in /. C. ii. 2. 129, Hen. V. ii. 3. 3, etc.
67. Sped you, sir ? Had you good luck ? Were you successful ?
Cf. K.John, iv. 2. 141, Cymb. v. 4. 190, etc.
71. Peaking Cornuto. Sneaking cuckold. For peak, cf. Ham.
ii. 2. 594 : —
"
Yet
I,
A
dull
and
muddy-mettled
rascal,
peak,
Like
John-a-dreams,
unpregnant
of
my
cause."
Cornuto (used by S. only here) is evidently formed from the Latin
cornu, horn. Halliwell-Phillipps quotes Witts Recreations : " Cor-
nuto isnot jealous of his wife ; " and Gallantry h la Mode, 1674 :
" When my cornuto goes from home."
73. Larum. Alarum (but not to be printed as that word con-
tracted), or alarm.
86. Distraction. Changed by Hanmer to " direction ; " but
Falstaff ascribes the trick to Mrs. Page's invention at a time when
Mrs. Ford was in a state of helpless distraction.
91. That. So that ; as often.
108. Several. Separate ; as in v. 5. 63 below. Cf. Temp. iii. I.
42, W. T. i. 2. 438, etc.
