- 190 Notes [Act IV
109. With. By ; as often.
no. Bilbo. Spanish blade. See on i. i. 161 above. It was
said that the best of these blades could be bent so as to bring hilt
and point together without breaking.
1 23. In good sadness. In all seriousness ; as in iv. 2. 90 below.
For sad= serious, see Much Ado, i. i. 185 : "Speak you this with
a sad brow ? " W. T. iv. 4. 316 : " in sad talk," etc.
132. Address me to. Prepare myself for. Cf. Macb. ii. 2. 24,
Ham. i. 2. 216, etc.
151. Horn-mad. See on i. 4. 49 above.
ACT IV
Scene I. — 24. ^Od^s nouns. A petty oath. See on ii. 3. 44
above. Mrs. Quickly confounds '<?^and odd.
45. Hinc. Changed by Halliwell-Phillipps to " hunc ; " but the
next speech seems to imply that William has made a mistake.
There the folios have " hing " for hung, but we are not to suppose
that the pedagogue would blunder in declining a familiar pro-
noun. Perhaps we should point " Hinc, — " It is possible, of
course, that it ought to be " Hunc," the mistake being in his
inability to give the other two forms.
48. Hang-hog is Latin for bacon. Knight remarks: "This joke
is in all probability derived from the traditionary anecdote of Sir
Nicholas Bacon, which is told by Lord Bacon in his Apophthegms :
' Sir Nicholas Bacon being judge of the Northern Circuit, when he
came to pass sentence upon the malefactors, was by one of them
mightily importuned to save his Hfe. When nothing he had said
would avail, he at length desired his mercy on account of kindred.
Prithee, said my lord, how came that in ? Why if it please you,
my lord, your name is Bacon and mine is Hog, and in all ages
Hog and Bacon are so near kindred that they are not to be sepa-
rated. Aybut, replied the judge, you and I cannot be of kindred
