[430-4] _Attach'd with_ means _seized by_.

[430-5] _Frustrate_ means _defeated_ or _baffled_.

[430-6] _Throughly_ means the same as _through_. Sebastian means that
the next time he will carry his purpose through.

[431-7] A _drollery_ was an amusing show of the _Punch and Judy_ kind,
where the characters were puppets. In a _living_ drollery, the
characters would be alive instead of puppets.

[431-8] The _phoenix_ was a fabled bird of antiquity which lived a
hundred years and then died in flames, only to rise young and strong

somewhere in Arabia was a tree, different from any other in the world,
in which the phoenix built its nest.

[431-9] _Certes_ means _for a certainty_.

[432-10] _Muse_ here means _wonder at_.

journey was perilous, the agreement might call for five times the sum;
if a safer journey, perhaps twice the amount. If the traveler did not
return, the agents kept the sum put out. Gonzalo uses the phrase "_Each
putter-out of one for five_," to mean each man who goes on a perilous
journey. He means that every traveler returning vouches for, or gives
good warrant for, the wonders he has seen.

[433-14] Instead of _That hath to instrument_, we might read _That has
control of_. The whole sentence means: "You are three sinful men whom
