- 192 Notes [Act IV
proposal." Some editors, however, transfer the sentence to Mrs.
Page.
61. Abstract. Memorandum ; the only instance of this sense
inS.
74. The fat woman of Brentford. T^he quarto has " Gillian of
Brainford," who was a notorious character of the middle of the
1 6th century. In revising the play S. chose to make the allusion
less definite. All the early eds. have " Brainford " here and else-
where.
77. Thrumtned hat. That is, a hat made of thrutns, or the ends
of a weaver's warp. Cf. M. N. D. \. i. 2gi: " cut thread and
thrum." See also Elyot, Diet. 1559 : " Bardo cucullus, a thrummed
hatte ; " Florio, 1598 : " Bernasso, a thrumbed hat ; " and Minsheu :
" A thrummed hat, une cappe de biar."
80. Zooh. Look up, look for. Cf. A. Y. L. ii. 5. 34: "to look
you," etc.
102. Misuse him. The ist folio omits him, which the 2d supplies.
105. Do not act, etc. Do not actually do what in jest we may
pretend to do.
106. Still swine, eic. Cf. Yates, Castell of Courtesie, \^^2: "a
proverbe olde in Englande here, the still sowq eats the draffe."
119. Ging. Gang, pack; used by S. only here. Steevens
cites examples of the word from Jonson, New Inn and Alcheftiist,
and from Milton, Smectymnus.
123. Passes. See on i. i. 295 above.
150. Pluck me, etc. For the me, see on i. 3. 57 and ii. i. 224
above.
155. This wrongs you. "This is below your character, un-
worthy ofyour understanding, injurious to your honour " (Johnson).
162. Show no colour, etc. That is, if I show no reason for the
extreme course I take. I believe that it is closely connected with
what precedes ; but the folio and some modern eds. end the sen-
tence at extremity, making this clause imperative = suggest no
excuse for my conduct.
