Vorrede. 
 
 Das vorliegende Werk ist, zum UnterscMede von den vorhan- 
 denen Grlossaren, welche nur das unverstandlich Gewordene alphabetiscli 
 zusammenstellen, dazn bestimmt, den gesammten Sprach- und Wortschatz 
 Shakespeare's in sich aufzunehmen. Es haben dabei folgende Gmnd- 
 satze zur Ricbtschnur gedient. 
 
 Als acht-sbakespeariscb ist AUes behandelt worden, was man 
 gewohnlich als solcbes zusammenzudrucken pflegt, nemlich die 36 
 Dramen der beiden ersten Folios nebst Pericles, und die sogenannten 
 Poems. Die sonstigen apokryphiscben Stiicke der letzten Folios, wie 
 auch die von einer spaterh Kritik mit dem Namen Shakespeare's in 
 Verbindung gebrachten Dramen sind unberucksichtigt geblieben. Ebenso 
 durchweg die Buhnen-Weisnngen (Stage-directions) selbst der altesten 
 Ausgaben, da es mehr als fraglich ist, ob sie von dem Dichter selbst 
 herruhren. 
 
 Bei der grossen Uusicherheit aller bisherigen Textkritik musste 
 es dahingestellt bleiben, ob, wo verschiedene alte Ausgaben vorhanden 
 sind, den Quartos oder den Folios grossere Autoritat beizumessen sei. 
 Die Aufgabe des Lexifiographen war indessen in diesem Puncte leichter 
 als die eines Herausgebers , der zwischen verschiedenen Lesarten eine 
 Wahl treffen muss, und beschrankte sich auf einfache Verzeichnuna: 
 der vorkommenden Varianten. Von einer solchen Beriicksichtigung 
 
VI Vorrede. 
 
 blieben aber diejenigen Ausgaben ausgescblossen , welcbe die Editoren 
 der ersten Folio als stolen and surreptitious copies bezeichnen, maimed 
 and deformed by the frauds and stealths of injurious impostors, d. h. die 
 Quartos der Merry Wives, Heinrichs V. und der beiden letzten Theile 
 Heinricbs VI., so wie die ersten Drucke von Hamlet (1603) und Romeo 
 und Julia (1597). Ihren Varianten konnte im besten Fall nur dasselbe 
 Gewicht beigelegt werden wie den Emendationen neuerer Kritiker. 
 
 In Bezug auf Orthograpbie sind Grriinde und Beispiel der Cam- 
 bridger Herausgeber fiir die Wahl des heutigen Usus entscheidend ge- 
 wesen. Nur wo die verscbiedene Scbreibung sichtlich in verscbiedener 
 Aussprache ihren Grund hatte, musste die alte Form beibehalten oder 
 doch bervorgeboben werden. 
 
 Die Etymologie, welcbe in allgemeinen Worterbtichern den Aus- 
 gangspunkt zu bilden hat, kami fiir den Gebrauch einer bestimmten 
 Periode, zumal einer solcben, in welcher der schopferische Spracbgeist 
 sich neue Bahnen bricht, oft mehr verwirren als aufklaren, und ist darum 
 nur in solcben Fallen in Betracbt gezogen , wo allein durch sie Auf- 
 scbluss zu gewinnen war. Demgemass erscbeinen auch die Wortbe- 
 deutungen nicht nacb ihrem historiscben Werden gruppirt, sondem als 
 gegeben und fertig unter die ibrem innem Wesen natiirlicbsten Gesichts- 
 punkte gebracht. Wenn Anordnung und Bestimmung bin und wieder 
 etwas zu wunscben itbrig lassen sollten, so moge in Anschlag kommen, 
 dass die Begriffe sicb nicht immer haarscharf von einander sondern 
 lassen, und dass das Material iiberall an die Hand gegeben ist, das 
 Bessere und Eichtigere selbst zu finden. 
 
 Es war die Absicbt, auch das Gew(3bnlicbste und Alltaglichste, 
 dessen Vorbandensein man sonst stillscbweigend vorauszusetzen pflegt, 
 mit erschopfender VoUstandigkeit in seinem Vorkommen nachzuweisen. 
 Da indessen die Gefahr entstand, der Brauchbarkeit des Buchs durch 
 Uebermass Eintrag zu thun, so ist da, wo jede Seite des Dichters Be- 
 statigung brachte, von den Zeichen f. i. und etc. Anwendung gemacht 
 worden. 
 
 Bei den Erlauterungen sind im Wesentlicben nur sprachliche Ge- 
 sichtspunkte bestimmend geweseu. Sacbliches bat nur, insofern es ibnen 
 
Vorrede. VII 
 
 diente, Aufhahme gefanden. Dunkelheiten , die im Gedankengange des 
 Dichters ihren Grand haben, bleiben nacb wie vor Sacbe der Com- 
 mentatoren. 
 
 Der Umfang der Aufgabe machte jede mogliche Beschrankung 
 zur gebieterischen Pflicht. Da das einzig Richtige keiner Autoritat be- 
 durfte, sind Gewahrsmanner nur bei zweifelhaften Auslegungen be- 
 sonders angefilbrt. Das Buch mit dem Ballast falscher Deutungen 
 imd Conjecturen zu beschweren, verbot jede billige Riicksicht. 
 
 Was bei Shakespeare fremden Spracben entnommen ist, so wie 
 auch das Dialectische, wird in einem Appendix des zweiten Bandes zu- 
 sammengestellt erscbeinen. Eben da soUen auch eiaige grammatische 
 Bemerkungen ihre Stelle finden, welche fiir Manches, was im Einzelnen 
 Bedenken erregen konnte, die allgemeine Kegel nachzuweisen bestimmt 
 sind. Es lag urspriinglich im Plan, eine moglichst umfassende Shake- 
 speare-Grammatik zu liefern; doch das inzwischen erschienene treffliche 
 Werk des Mr. Abbott, verbunden mit den reichhaltigen Abhandlungen 
 in Sidney Walkers Critical Examination of the Text of Sh., beschrankt 
 die Aufgabe auf eine leichte und sparliche Aehrenlese. 
 
 Ueber den Nutzen, den das Buch stiften kann, hat der Erfolg 
 zu entscheiden; der dabei in Aussicht genommene Nutzen war: sichreres 
 und giiindlicheres Verstandniss des Dichters; methodischere kritische Be- 
 handlung seines Testes; Beschaffang moglichst zuverlassigen Materials 
 fiir die seit Samuel Johnson zwar ausserlich sehr angewachsene , aber 
 innerlich mehr und mehr verfallene englische Lexicographie; Richtig- 
 stellung zwar nur eines einzelnen, aber des hervorragendsten und 
 wichtigsten Merksteins in der Geschichte der englischen Sprach-Ent- 
 wickelung. 
 
 Dem grossen Shakespeare-Publikum werden hoifentlich die De- 
 finitionen und Erlauterungen willkommene Hillfe bringen; dem Gelehrten 
 und Kjitiker dagegen wird es besonders auf Correctheit der Anfiihrun- 
 gen ankommen. Darum wlirden Mittheilungen eingeschlichener Ver- 
 sehen und Druckfehler zu grossem Dank verpflichten. 
 
 Rein praktische Rilcksichten sind bei der Wahl der- englischen 
 Sprache fiir die Erklarangen massgebend gewesen. Einzelne Mangel 
 
Vm Vorrede. 
 
 und Schwachen im Ausdruck — bei einer ahnlichen Aufgabe kaum in 
 der Mutterpsrache zu vermeiden — werden hoffentlich freundliche und 
 naclisichtige Beurtheilung finden. Der Verfasser hat keinen grossern 
 Ehrgeiz — wenn es einem Lexicographen erlaubt ist Ehrgeiz zu hegen 
 — als den, auch eingebomen Englandern niitzlich sein zu konnen.

 a; f. i. Wiv. HI, 3, 122. Meas. HI, 1, 71. Err. 
 m, 2, 91. IV, 2, 23. Cor. UI, 1, 105. Mcb. IV,

 IV, 3, 66. Ant. I, 2, 118. An before w: have an 
 wish. Per. IV, 4, 2. Of the original indiscriminate 
 use of an before consonants as well as vowels a 
 trace is left in the pun of Mrs Quickly: An fool's 
 head, Wiv. I, 4, 134. 
 
 Superfluous repetition of the ind. art. before 
 adjectives : a blasting and a scandalous breath, 
 Meas. V, 122. a present and a dangerous courtesy, 
 rv, 2, 171. a virtuous and a reverend lady. Err. V, 
 134. a dulcet and a heavenly sound, Shr. Ind. 1, 
 
 51. a common and an outward man. Alls HE, 1, 11. 
 a maiden and an innocent hand, John IV, 2, 252. a 
 mighty anda fearful head, H4A III, 2, 167. a slobbery 
 and a dirty farm, H5 HI, 5, 13. a peaceful and a 
 sweet retire, IV, 3, 86. a puissant and a mighty 
 power, H6B IV, 9, 25. a weighty and u, serious 
 brow, H8 Prol. 2. a dismal and a fatal end, Mcb. 
 
 III, 5, 21. a nipping and an eager air, Hml. I, 4, 
 
 2. a tyrannous and a damned light, II, 2, 482 (Fi 
 and damned), a malignant and a turbaned Turk, 
 0th. V, 2, 352. No less before adjectives placed 
 after their substantives: u proper stripling and an 
 amorous, Shr. I, 2, 144. a goodly portly man and 
 a corpulent, H4A II, 4, 464. a goodly dwelling and 
 
 Scltniidt, the English of Shakespeare. 
 
 a rich, H4B V, 3, 6. an honest gentleman, and a 
 courteous, and a kind, Rom. H, 5, 56. a very va- 
 liant Briton and a good, Cymb. IV, 2, 369. 
 
 As before hundred and thousand (q. v.) the art. 
 is, though seldom, found before other numerals: 
 never a one of you, Tim. V, 1, 96. not a one of 
 them, Mcb. Ill, 4, 131. a 'leven, Merch. II, 2, 171 
 (Qi eleven), a fourteen, H4B HI, 2, 53. Similarly 
 before many, q. v. 
 
 Its use after as, how, so and such is in general 
 conformable to the now prevailing rule (f. i. so fair 
 a house, Tp. I, 2, 458. as good a thing, V, 169. 
 how high a pitch, R2 I, 1, 109), and the passage 
 in H6B IV, 9, 17: continue still in this so good a 
 mind, cannot be called an exception ; but there are 
 a few instances of its omission: in so profound 
 abysm, Sonn. 112, 9. as good deed, H4A EC, 1, 33 
 (Ff as good a deed), with as big heart. Cor. Ill, 
 
 2, 128. It seems to have strayed from its place 
 in the following expressions: so rare a wondered 
 father, Tp. IV, 123 (= so rarely wondered a father, 
 i. e. a father endowed with such a rare power of 
 working miracles), so fair an offered chain. Err. 
 Ill, 2, 186. so new a fashioned robe, John XV, 2, 
 27. cf. such a coloured periwig, Gent. IV, 4, 196; 
 the phrases so rare a wonder, such a colour etc. 
 being treated as simple words, from which adject- 
 ives in ed might be derived. 
 
 Similarly placed between comparatives and their 
 substantives: with more tame a tongue, Meas. 11, 2, 
 46; especially when preceded by no: no better a 
 musician, Merch. V, 106. no worse a name, As I, 
 
 3, 126. with no greater a run, Shr. IV, 1, 16. 
 upon no better a ground. Cor. II, 2, 13. no worse 
 a place, 0th. I, 1, 11. no worse a husband. Ant. 
 II, 2, 131. 
 
 According to custom, the poet says : once a day, 
 a thousand pound a year (f. i. Tp. I, 2, 490. Meas. 
 I, 2, 50. n, 1, 127. rv, 2, 158. Err. IV, 1, 21), 
 but also: once in a month, Tp. I, 2, 2G2. one day 
 in a week, LLL I, 1, 39. 
 
 The art. omitted after ever and never (f. i. Tp. 
 m, 2, 30. Wiv, HI, 5, 94. Err. H, 2, 117. Merch. 
 n, 1, 41), even before the object : who never yields 
 us kind answer, Tp. I, 2, 309. never to speak to 
 lady, Merch. II, 1, 41. I never gave you kingdom, 
 Lr. HI, 2, 17; cf. H4A 11, 4, 287. H6A HI, 2, 
 134. ni, 4, 19. H6C I, 1, 217. 0th. IV, 1, 111 
 (Qq a woman). V, 2, 61. Cymb. IV, 4, 39 etc. 
 Keeping, however, its place, when never is but

 nexion with the original forms of English conjuga- 
 tion, which, indeed, in Shakespeare's time began to 
 become obsolete. 
 
 10; been = are: he, doing so, put forth to seas,^ 
 where, when men been, there's seldom ease. Per. II

 have, for the sake of the rhyme, changed to pretty bin.

 1,44. 
 
 Being that = since: being that I floio in grief, 
 Ado IV, 1, 251. you loiter here too long, being you are

 127, is an elliptical quetion, viz = what is a fair 
 thought?), an 'twere to me, I should be mad at it, 
 Merch. V, 176. // it will not be, Ado II, 1, 208 ; and 
 Will't not be? John HI, 1, 298, are expressions of 
 impatience^ like the German : w ird's bald ? 
 • e) Let be ^= no matter: no longer shall you 
 gaze on it, lest your fancy may think anon it moves. 
 Let he, let be. Wint. V, 3,61. since no man has might 
 of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes? Let be. 
 Hml. V, 2, 235 (Ff. om.l 'twill be natight: but let it 
 be; bring me to Antony, Ant. HI, 5, 24. what's this

 truth then be thy dower, Lr. I, 1, 110. let it be so; yet 
 have I left a daughter, 1,4,327. Hence the following 
 passage receives its proper light: they loere ratified 
 as he cried 'Thus let be,' H8 I, 1, 171 jthe expression 
 being characteristic of the carelessness with which 
 Wolsey hurried his business). — Quite different is 
 the sense of Ado V, 1, 207: but soft you, let me be; 
 i. e. let me alone; no more joking! — Be it so =

 Florence is he?. All's HI, 2, 71. 
 
 g) Followed by an infinitive, = to be busied:

 I'll fit you, and not be all day neither. All's 11, 1, 94. 
 
 h) = to be written: if you have lorit your 
 annals true, 'tis there, that ..., Cor. V, G, 114. 
 
 2) Peculiarilities of its use as an auxiliary verb. 
 
 a) Such phrases as 'that is brave, that is well' are 
 common enough, but the following expressions: this 
 was well counterfeited. As IV, 3, 167; 'tis well blown, 
 lads. Ant. IV, 4, 25, and; this is fought indeed! IV, 7, 
 4; well moused. Lion, Mids. V, 274; well flown, bird,

 cf. if she say I am not fourteen p'ence on the score, 
 Shr. Ind. 2, 24. to outlive the age I am, Per. \', 1, 15. 
 
 f) Verbs neuter often conjugated with to be, 
 instead of <o have: this gentleman is happily arrived, 
 my viind presumes, for his own good and ours, Shr. I, 
 
 2, 213. Cardinal Campeius is arrived, and lately, H8 
 II, 1, 160. miracles are ceased, H5 I, 1, 67. tohat he 
 feared is chanced, H4B I, 1, 87. Jioio every thing is

 a contrary way. All's III, 5, 8. though he be grown so 
 desperate to be honest, H8 III, 1, 86. our sister's man 
 is certainly miscarried, Lr. V, 1, 5. they were stolen 
 unto this wood, Mids. II, 1, 191. Worcester is stolen

 away to Rome, H8 III, 2, 57. whither are they vanished? 
 Mcb. I, 3, 80. Ms lordship is walked forth into the 
 orchard, H4B I, 1 , 4 etc. etc. 
 
 But the use of is instead of has in ti'ansitive verbs 
 must be considered as an inadvertence in .writing, the 
 rather as the other forms of the two verbs, in which 
 there is no consonance, are never thus confounded : 
 the king by this is set him down to sleep, H6C IV, 3, 
 
 3, zohat late misfortune is befallen king Henry, IV, 4, 
 3. 7ny life is run his compass, Caes. V, 3, 25. he is

 stood; shall a beardless boy ... b. our fields, John V,

 a similar expression in H5 IV, 2, 36 : our approach

 mind that in this latter passage the word dare is used 
 with peculiar propriety, being a technical term of 
 falconry.

 The idea of 'way, direction' still discernible in 
 cases, where it seems to denote simple locality: 6^ 
 land, Tp. V, 220. Ant. II, 6, 90. hy water, II, 6, 89.

 way, direction, acting together with that of instru- 
 mentality: she takes him hy the hand, Ven. 361. 1124. 
 hanging hy his neck, 593. catch her by the neck, 872.

 As it is used, like with, to denote nearness or 
 company, so also to indicate the person subject to an 
 activity : I would thowhadst done so by Claudio, Meas. 
 
 V, 473 (^ with Claudio, or rather in the case of 
 Claudio). though my mocks come home by me, I will 
 now he merry, LLL V, 2, 637. / would they would

 'em, Cor. II, 3, 64. so disguise shall, hy the disguised, 
 pay with falsehood false exacting, Meas. Ill, 2, 294; 
 i. e. disguise shall be allowed to pay with falsehood 
 the demands of one who is himself a disguised hypo- 
 crite, (cf. the modern use of to deal; see also to set 
 in such phrases as to set little by sth., Gentl. I, 2, 82). 
 — Thus, after the verbs of speaking and thinking, 
 hy sometimes comes to be ^ of: virtuous in any thing 
 that I do know hy her. Ado V, 1, 312 (originally = 
 with her, in her, about her), that 'many' may be meant 
 
6 
 
 161 
 
 hy the fool multitude, Mercb. II, 9, 26. how say you 
 by the French lord? I, 2, 58. I would not have him 
 know so much by me, LLL IV, 3, 150. thus I conceive 
 by him, Shr. V, 2, 22 (a quibble), by him and by this 
 woman here what know you? All's V, 3, 237. speak 
 the truth by her, Gentl. II, 4, 151. but by bad courses 
 may be understood that their events can never fall out 
 good, R2 II, 1, 213. how think you by that? H6B II, 
 
 I, 16. how say you by this change? 0th. I, 3, 17. to 
 speak .. , not by your own instruction, nor by the matter 
 which your heart prompts you, Cor. Ill, 2, 54. 
 
 Nearly related to the idea of a way is that of a 
 means or instrument: by your art, Tp. I, 2, 1. by foul 
 play, 62. by telling of it, 100. by providence divine, 
 159. ISO. 204. 275. 497. II, 2, 38. Ill, 2, 49. V, 40 
 etc. etc. they live hy your bare words, Gentl. II, 4, 46.

 ries, Gentl. II, 4, 45. IV, 2, 89. what mean you by that 
 saying? V, 4, 167. Wiv. 111,1, 73.111,5,12. V,2, 7. 16.

 236. 349. V, 257. As IV, 3, 8. H6A III, 1, 124. you 
 seem to understand me, by each at once her chappy 
 fingers laying upon her skinny lips. Mob. I, 3, 44. — 
 After the verbs of measuring : that (thy mind) they 
 measure hy thy deeds; Sonn. 69, 10. He would have 
 weighed thy brother by himself, Meas. V, 111. I mea- 
 sure him by my own spirit, Ado II, 3, 149. we measure 
 them by weary steps, IjLL V, 2, 194. — Peculiar 
 expressions: she is dead, and by strange manner, Caes.

 means and place, Hml. II, 2, 127. to part hy the teeth 
 the unowed interest of proud- swelling state, John IV, 
 
 3, 146. either send the chain or send me hy some token, 
 Err. IV, 1, 56 (i. e. so that I may prove the legiti- 
 macy of my commission by a token), say, by this 
 token, I desire his company, Meas. IV, 3, 144. go, by 
 this token, R3 IV, 2, 80. — By heart, by leave, pa- 
 tience, pardon, see the resp. words. 
 
 To the same source must be traced its use in 
 denoting the sum of difference between things : too much 
 by one, Gentl. V, 4, 52. ere the ships could meet by 
 twice five leagues. Err. I, 1, 101. one (child) too much 
 by thee, Ado IV, 1, 131. too long by half a mile, LLL

 Ill, 1, 103. Hml. II, 2, 466. Similarly: by many a 
 year before, H8 II, 4, 49. not to come near our person 
 
 by ten mile, H4B V, 5, 69. — By how much by 
 
 so much = the more, the more : by how much defence 
 is better than no skill, hy so much is a horn more pre- 
 cious than to want. As III, 3, 62. by how much unex- 
 pected, by so much we must awake endeavour, John 
 
 II, 80. and so much less of shame in me remains, by 
 how much of me their reproach contains, Compl. 18^. 
 you are the better at proverbs, by how much a fool's 
 bolt is soon shot, H5 III, 7, 131. by how much she stri- 
 
 Schmiat, the EngUsli of Shakosiieare. 
 
 ves to do him good, she shall undo her credit with the 
 Moor, 0th. II, 3, 364. by so much is the wonder in 
 extremes, H6C 111, 2, 115 (= the more). 
 
 Equally, in expressing the measure, by which an 
 action is regulated, especially the stages of a succes- 
 sive action : make him by inch-meal a disease, Tp. II, 
 
 2, 3. which you shall find by every syllable a faithful 
 verity, Meas. IV, 3, 131. sell hy gross, LLL V, 2, 319.

 purchased by the weight, Merch. Ill, 2, 89. utters it

 the hundreds, H4A II, 4, 398. hy the dosens, H8 V, 
 4, 33. by ones, by twos, and by threes. Cor. II, 3, 47. 
 he's to make his requests hy particulars, 48. will bear 
 the knave by the volume, III, 3, 33. they'll give him 
 death by inches, V, 4, 42. peruse him hy items, Cymb. 
 
 I, 4, 7. / will believe you by the syllable. Per. V, 1, 
 169. Similarly: compound with him by the year, Meas. 
 
 IV, 2, 25. two thousand ducats by the year, Shr. 11, 
 371. a thousand pounds by the year, H5 I, 1, 19. 
 that I knew he were hut in by the week, LLL V, 2, 61. 
 what expense by the hour seems to flow from him, H8 
 IIIj 2, 108. how Diomed, a whole week by days, did 
 haunt you, Troil. IV, 1, 9, for quick accumulation of 
 renown, which he achieved by the minute. Ant. Ill, 1, 
 20, i. e. every minute; cf. should by the minute feed 
 on life and lingering hy inches waste you, Cymb. V, 
 6, 51. Strangely, but intelligibly : (Ajs loas hut as 
 a fly by an eagle. Ant. II, 2, 186, i.e. as a fly for every 
 one to feed on in a company of eagles. 
 
 Serving also to denote the instrumentality of per- 
 sons : and do pronounce by me, Tp. Ill, 3, 76. send him 
 by your two men to Datchet-mead, "VViv. Ill, 3, 141. 
 she sent for you by Dromio home to dinner, Err. II, 2, 
 156. ourselves we do remember by you, V, 292 (by

 lose thee again, J c. not, All's II, 3, 217. he — d not 
 who knew it, H5 III, 7, 117. 1 c. not which, or Somer-

 / seek not to wax great by others' wailing, or gather 
 wealth, I c. not with what envy, H6B IV, 10, 23 (= 
 indifferently). 
 
 Indifi'erence may be a softened expression of dis- 
 like: / c. not to get slips of them, Wint. IV, 4, 84 (= 
 I sliould not like); as well as of a wish: I c. not if

 Care -crazed, broken, worn away with care: 
 R3 III, 7, 184. 
 
 Career, 1) the ground on which a race 
 is run: shall quips and sentences awe a man from 
 the c. of his humour? Ado II, 3, 250. I shall meet your 
 wit in the c. V, 1, 135. and so conclusion^ passed the 
 —s (0. Edd. careiresj Wiv. I, 1, 184 ('Bardolph- 
 means to say: and so in the end he reeled about like 
 a horse passing a u. To pass a c. was a technical 
 term.' Malone).

 tures in my face, Err. V, 298. full of c. business are

 debts, our c. wives lay on the king, H5 IV, 1, 248 
 
 (cf. 145 : their wives left poor behind them), by Him 
 that raised me to this c. height, R3 I, 3, 83. Probably 
 also in the following passage: / am not tall enough 
 to become the function well, nor lean enough to be 
 thought a good student; but to be said an honest man and 
 a good housekeeper goes as fairly as to say a c. man 
 and a great scholar, Tw. IV, 2, 11 (i.e. a great scholar,

 covering of a c. night, who seemed my good protector, 
 Per. I, 2, 81 (the night being treated here as a reason- 
 able being). Strange expression: till time beget some 
 c. remedy. Tit. IV, 3, 30; perhaps a, corrupt passage 
 (v. carefully in v. 38 ) ; we should substitute cureful, 
 if this were a Shakespearian word. 
 
 With a negation: the eagle suffers little birds to 
 sing and is not c. what they mean thereby. Tit. IV, 4, 
 84 (= does not care).

 quire c. about a schoolmaster, Shr. I, 2, 166. R2 V, 5,

 art, R2 II, 1, 97. what my grandsire got my c. father

 Strange expression: 'tis well they are whispering : 
 c. your tongues, and not a ivord more, Wint. IV, 4, 250. 
 Nares : 'An expression taken from bell-ringing ; it is 
 now contracted to clam, and in that form is common 
 among ringers. The bells are said to be clammed, 
 when , after a course of rounds or changes , they are 
 all palled off at once, and give a general crash or 
 clam, by which the peal is concluded.' Dyce: 'Mr. 
 Hunter obsei-ves that the same phrase occurs in Taylor 
 the Waterpoet's Sir Gregory Nonsense : Cease friendly 
 cutting throats, c. the promulgation of your tongues. 
 And Mr. Arrowsmith explains clamour to mean curb , 
 restrain, considering it as equivalent to chaumbre 
 or chammer (Fr. chommer), and cites the following 
 passages from Udall's translation of the Apophthegms 
 of Erasmns: For Critias menaced and threatened him, 
 that unless he chaumbred his tongue in season etc. and: 
 from no sort of men in Hie world did he refrain or 
 chaumbre the taunting of his tongue.' — It ought, after 
 all, to be taken into account that in our passage it is 
 the Clown who speaks. If not a misprint, as Gifford 
 supposed, it may be a misapplication of the word 
 for 'charm.'

 which is still current, originated in the following 
 manner. Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, though re- 
 ally buried at St. Alban's, was supposed to have a 
 monument in old St. Paul's, from which one part of 
 the church was termed Duke Humphrey's walk. In 
 this, as the church was then a place of the most pu- 
 blic resort, they who had no means of procuring a 
 dinner, frequently loitered about, probably in hopes 
 of meeting with an invitation , but under pretence of 
 looking at the monuments.")

 three, or, as others say, a dozen white pikes. But cf. 
 Holinshed's continuation of the Chronicles of Ireland 
 (quoted by Rushton) : "Having lent the king his signet 
 to seal a letter, who having powdered erinuts ingrailed 
 in the seal; Why how now Wise (quoth the king) 
 what, hast thou lice here? And if it like your ma- 
 jesty, quoth Sir WiUiam, a louse is a rich coat, for 
 by giving the louse I part arms with the French king, 
 in that he giveth the flower de lice. Whereat the 
 king heartily laughed, to hear how prettily so biting 
 a taunt was suddenly turned to so pleasant a conceit." 
 It must be remembered that Sh. was a diligent reader 
 ofHolinshed).
