the Second Entry:--

_Mustapha._ I bring the morning pictur'd in a cloud.

And in Sir William Barclay's _The Lost Lady_ (folio, 1639), Act II:--

Enter _Phillida_ veiled who talks to _Ergasto_ aside and then
goes out.
_Cleon._ From what part of the town comes this fair day
In a cloud that makes you look so cheerfully?

are burlesqued in _The Rehearsal_, III, v:--

_Vols._ Can vulgar vestments high-born beauty shroud?
Thou bring'st the Morning pictur'd in a Cloud.

+ACT III: Scene ii+

p. 164 _... is welcome._ Buckingham parodies this in _The Rehearsal_,
IV, iii:--

_Cordelia._ My lieges, news from _Volscius_ the prince.
_Usher._ His news is welcome, whatso'er it be.
_Smith._ How, sir, do you mean that? Whether it be good or bad?

+ACT III: Scene iii+

p. 172 _tabering._ Beating on; tapping; drumming. This rare word
occurs in _Nahum_, II, vii: 'Her maids shall lead her as with the
voice of doves tabering upon their breasts.'

+ACT IV: Scene ii+

p. 180 _Hansel'd._ To handsel is to inaugurate with some ceremony of
an auspicious kind, e.g. to begin the New Year by presenting a new
comer with a gift.

p. 183 _She leapt into the River._ _The Rehearsal_, Act V, burlesques
this:-- '_The Argument of the Fifth Act_ ... _Cloris_ in despair,
drowns herself: and Prince _Pretty-man_, discontentedly, walks by the
River side.'

+ACT IV: Scene iv+

p. 188 _foutering._ Fouter (Fr. foutre; Lat. futuere), _verbum
obscaenum_. cf. the noun in phrase 'to care not a fouter' (footra,
footre, foutre), _2 Henry IV_, V, iii. To 'fouter' is also used
(a vulgarism and a provincialism) in a much mitigated sense = to
meddle about aimlessly, to waste time and tongue doing nothing, as
of a busybody.

p. 189 _Niperkin._ This would seem to be a slang expression, as Grose
gives it meaning 'a small measure'. It was also used for the actual
stone jug. cf. D'Urfey, _Pills to Purge Melancholy_ (1719):
'Quart-pot, Pint-pot, nipperkin.' _N.E.D._, quoting this passage,
explains as 'a small quantity of wine, ale, or spirits.'

p. 190 _Camphire Posset._ Camphor had a high reputation as an
antaphrodisiac. cf. Dryden, _The Spanish Friar_ (1681), Act I, where
Gomez says of his wife: 'I'll get a physician that shall prescribe
her an ounce of camphire every morning, for her breakfast, to abate
incontinency'; also Congreve, _The Way of the Worl
