of PAVIA.

<122> Sonnet] Variously written, SENNET, SIGNET, SIGNATE, &c.--A
particular set of notes on the trumpet, or cornet, different from
a flourish. See Nares's GLOSS. in V. SENNET.

<123> Enter ROBIN, &c.] Scene, near an inn.

<124> ippocras] Or HIPPOCRAS,--a medicated drink composed of wine
(usually red) with spices and sugar. It is generally supposed to
have been so called from HIPPOCRATES (contracted by our earliest
writers to HIPPOCRAS); perhaps because it was strained,--the woollen
bag used by apothecaries to strain syrups and decoctions for
clarification being termed HIPPOCRATES' SLEEVE.

<125> tabern] i.e. tavern.

<126> [Exeunt.
Enter ROBIN and RALPH, &c.] A scene is evidently wanting
after the Exeunt of Robin and Ralph.

<127> purchase] i.e. booty--gain, acquisition.

<128> Drawer] There is an inconsistency here: the Vintner
cannot properly be addressed as "Drawer." The later 4tos are
also inconsistent in the corresponding passage: Dick says, "THE
VINTNER'S BOY follows us at the hard heels," and immediately
the "VINTNER" enters.

<129> tone] i.e. the one.
