Uribassa] In this scene, but only here, the old eds. have
"Upibassa."]
[Footnote 5: Almains, Rutters] RUTTERS are properly--German troopers,
(REITER, REUTER). In the third speech after the present one
this line is repeated VERBATIM: but in the first scene of
our author's FAUSTUS we have,--
"Like ALMAIN RUTTERS with their horsemen's staves."]
[Footnote 6: ORCANES.] Omitted in the old eds.]
[Footnote 7: hugy] i.e. huge.]
[Footnote 8: cut the] So the 8vo.--The 4to "out of."]
[Footnote 9: champion] i.e. champaign.]
[Footnote 10: Terrene] i.e. Mediterranean (but the Danube falls into the
Black Sea.)]
[Footnote 11: Cairo] Old eds. "Cairon:" but they are not consistent in
the spelling of this name; afterwards (p. 45, sec. col.) [See
note 29.] they have "Cario."]
[Footnote 12: Fear] i.e. frighten.]
[Footnote 13: Sorians] So the 4to.--Here the 8vo has "Syrians"; but
elsewhere in this SEC. PART of the play it agrees with the 4to
in having "Sorians," and "Soria" (which occurs repeatedly,--the
King of SORIA being one of the characters).--Compare Jonson's
FOX, act iv. sc. 1;
"whether a ship,
Newly arriv'd from SORIA, or from
Any suspected part of all the Levant,
Be guilty of the plague," &c.
On which passage Whalley remarks; "The city Tyre, from whence
the whole country had its name, was anciently called ZUR or ZOR;
since the Arabs erected their empire in the East, it has been
again called SOR, and is at this day known by no other name in
those parts. Hence the Italians formed their SORIA."]
[Footnote 14: black] So the 8vo.--The 4to "AND black."]
[Footnote 15: Egyptians,
Illyrians, Thracians, and Bithynians] So the 8vo (except
that by a misprint it gives "Illicians").--
The 4to has,--
"Egyptians,
FREDERICK. And we from Europe to the same intent
Illirians, Thracians, and Bithynians";
a line which belongs to a later part of the scene (see next
col.) being unaccountably inserted here. (See note 21.)]
[Footnote 16: plage] i.e. region. So the 8vo.--The 4to "Place."]
[Footnote 17: viceroy] So the 8vo.--The 4to "Vice-royes."]
[Footnote 18: Boheme] i.e. Bohemia.]
[Footnote 19: Bagdet's] So the 8vo in act v. sc. 1. Here it has
"Badgeths": the 4to "Baieths."]
[Footnote 20: parle] So the 8vo.--Here the 4to "parley," but before,
repeatedly, "parle."]
[Footnote 21: FREDERICK. And we from Europe, t
