P. 20. Add to note 23. The following passage in Gabriel Harveys "New Letter of Notable Contents," 1594, speaking of Nash, confirms the conjecture that Falangtado, or Falanta, was the burden of a song or ballad at the time. "Let him be the Falanta down-diddle of rhyme, the hayhohaliday of prose, the welladay of new writers, and the cut-throat of his adversaries." P. 49. 1. 17.

"I confess Cupid's carouse; he plays super nagulum with my liquor of life." A. 4. S. 3. P. 51. 1. 24. Cup of Nipitaty.]-Nipitaty seems to have been a cant term for a certain wine. Thus Gabriel Harvey, in Pierce's Supererogation, 1593, speaks of "the Nipitaty, of the nappiest grape," and afterwards he says "Nipitaty, will not be tied to a post," in reference to the unconfined tongues of men who drink it. THE MUSE'S LOOKING GLASS. P.142. Add to note ‡.

"Dame Natures trunchman, heavens interpret true." Mr. Park in a note on the re-print of E. P. p. 621, conjectures that trunchman is a misprint for trenchman; apparently not aware that the last part of the line explains the first, and shews that the misprint is trunchmen instead of truchmen. VOLUME THE TENTH. P. 3. Add to note The author of the preface to the late reprint of Shakerly Marmion's Cupid and Psyche, says that he was born in January, 1602, and that his father sold the family estate at Aynho as early as 1620. It is added that he died in the beginning of 1639. The first Edition of Cupid and Psyche was printed, according to the same authority, in 1637 in 4to, and a second time in 12mo. in 1666. 'Tis an old saying, I remember I read it in Cato's Pueriles.] The same book seems quoted by Scilicet, a foolish gallant in Every Woman in her Humour, 1609.

Sedley, and Godolphin, and printed in 1664. At the end of an edition of Sir John Denham's poems, printed by J. M. for H.
