e History of that Unparalleled Thief James Hind_ (1652, 4to). Salamanca had an unsavoury reputation owing to the fictions of Titus Gates. cf. _The Rover_ (II), Act v: 'Guzman Medicines.' p. 446 _Signum Mallis_. This curious phrase, which is both distorted cant and canine, would appear to mean 'your rogue's phiz'. p. 446 _Friskin_. 'A gay lively person.'--Halliwell. p. 446 _Jack of Lent_. A puppet set up to be thrown at; in modern parlance, 'Aunt Sally'. Hence a butt for all. p. 451 _Spitchcock'd_. To spitchcock is to split lengthwise, as an eel, and then broil. p. 458 _Stentraphon_. A megaphone. p. 460 _They fight at Barriers_. A comic combat between Harlequin and Scaramouch forms one of the traditional incidents (_Lazzi_), which occur repeatedly in the Italian and Franco-Italian farces. cf. Dryden's Epilogue spoken by Hart when _The Silent Woman_ was played before the University of Oxford in 1673:-- Th' _Italian_ Merry-Andrews took their place, And quite debauch'd the Stage with lewd Grimace: Instead of Wit and Humours, your Delight Was there to see two Hobby-horses fight, Stout _Scaramoucha_ with Rush Lance rode in, And ran a Tilt at Centaure _Arlequin_.
