f as rich gems, and when later he scents the cozenage, he bawls
out:--

Plague of her jewels, and her copper chains,
How rank they smell!
--(Act v, 2.)

The phrase became proverbial for shams.

p. 211 _disimbogue._ This word is generally used of the waters of a
river or the outlet of a lake pouring into the open sea.

p. 212 _by Play-Bill, summon'd here._ In Restoration times one
method of announcing the next day's performance to the public was by
putting out bills on posts in the streets adjacent to the theatre.
There are allusions to this in Pepys, 24 March, 1662 and 28 July,
1664. The whole subject has been exhaustively treated by Mr. W. J.
Lawrence in 'The Origin of the Theatre Programme'-- _The Elizabethan
Playhouse_ (Second Series).

+Epilogue+

p. 213. _greasing._ Flattery. Settle's post as City Poet, it is well
known, did not bring him in any great emoluments. He was, in fact,
desperately poor, and even volunteered to join King James' army at
Hounslow Heath. In old age he was reduced to writing drolls
performed in a Bartholomew Fair booth kept by one Mrs. Minns and her
daughter, Mrs. Leigh. He himself acted in these wretched farces, and
on one occasion, in _St. George for England_, appeared as a dragon
in a green leather case. Eventually he obtained admission to the
Charterhouse, where he died 24 February, 1724.
