[Footnote 63: Short coats and tight trousers were a great offence to old writers accustomed to long nightgown clothes. Compare Chaucer's complaint in the Canterbury Tales, The Parsones Tale, _De Superbia_, p. 193, col. 2, ed. Wright. "Upon that other syde, to speke of the horrible disordinat scantnes of clothing, as ben these cuttid sloppis or anslets, that thurgh her schortnes ne covereth not the schamful membre of man, to wickid entent. Alas!

som men of hem schewen the schap and the boce of the horrible swollen membres, that semeth like to the maladies of hirnia, in the wrapping of here hose, and eek the b.u.t.tokes of hem, that faren as it were the hinder part of a sche ape in the fulle of the moone."

[Footnote 68: to embrew. _Ferrum tingere sanguine._ Baret.]

[Footnote 69: The table-knife, 'Mensal knyfe, or borde knyfe, _Mensalis_,' P. Parv., was, I suppose, a lighter knife than the trencher-knife used for cutting trenchers off very stale coa.r.s.e loaves.]

[Footnote 70: ? Fr. _pareil_, A match or fellow. C.]

[Footnote 71: A.S. _gramian_, to anger.]

[Footnote 84: A small Heron or kind of Heron; Shakspere's editors'

_handsaw_. The spelling _heronshaw_ misled Cotgrave, &c.; he has _Haironniere_. A herons neast, or ayrie; a _herne_-shaw or shaw of wood, wherein herons breed. 'An Hearne. _Ardea._ A hearnsew, _Ardeola_.' Baret, 1580. 'Fr. _heronceau_, a young heron, gives E.

_heronshaw_,' Wedgwood. I cannot find _heronceau_, only _heronneau_. 'A yong _herensew_ is lyghter of dygestyon than a crane. A. Borde. _Regyment_, fol. F i, ed. 1567. 'In actual application a _heronshaw_, _hernshaw_ or _hernsew_, is simply a Common Heron (Ardea Vulgaris) with no distinction as to age, &c.'

Atkinson.]

[Footnote 85: The Brewe is mentioned three times, and each time in connection with the Curlew. I believe it to be the Whimbrel (_Numenius Phaeopus_) or Half Curlew. I have a recollection (or what seems like it) of having seen the name with a French form like Whimbreau. [Pennant's British Zoology, ii. 347, gives _Le pet.i.t Courly, ou le Courlieu_, as the French synonym of the Whimbrel.] Morris (Orpen) says the numbers of the Whimbrel are lessening from their being sought as food. Atkinson.]

[Footnote 86: "The singular structure of the windpipe and its convolutions lodged between the two plates of bone forming the sides of the keel of the sternum of this bird (the Crane) have long been known. The trachea or windpipe, quitting the neck of the bird, pa.s.ses downwards and backwards between the branches of the merry-thought towards the inferior edge of the keel, which is hollowed out to receive it. Into this groove the trachea pa.s.ses, ... and after making three turns pa.s.ses again forwards and upwards and ultimately backwards to be attached to the two lobes of the lungs." Yarrell, _Brit. Birds_ ii. 441. Atkinson.]
