JRT, TEMPLE:

ation, 1866.

Go with me to my chamber, and advise me. er straight away: To-morrow

wars, she to her single sorrow.

Why, these balls bound; there's noise in it.

an, married, is a man that's marr'd;

way, and leave her bravely; go:

as done you wrong; but, hush! 'tis so. All's Well that Ends Well, Act ii. Sc. 3.

peare in this passage alludes to a led Atanaclasis, or the Rebound, thus by Puttenham:

another figure which by his nature we may bound, alluding to the tennis ball which, en with the racket, reboundes backe again, he last figure before played with two words ike, this playeth with one word written all arrying divers sences, as thus:

de that soone married is, soone marred is.

Or thus better, because married and marred be different in one letter:

To pray for you ever I cannot refuse,

To pray upon you I should you much abuse.

Or as we once sported upon a countrey fellow who
came to runne for the best game, and was by his occu-
pation a dyer, and had very bigge swelling legges :
He is but course to run a course,

Whose shankes are bigger then his thye,
Yet is his lucke a little worse,

That often dies before he dye.

Where ye see this word course and dye, used in divers senses, one giving the Rebounde upon th' other.-The Arte of English Poesie, 1589, Lib. iii.

And the reader will perceive that the line used by Parolles,

A young man married is a man that's marr'd,

resembles the line,

The maid that soone married is soone marred is, used by Puttenham, in his explanation of this figure, the Rebound.

Par. Younger than she are happy mothers made. Cap. And too soon marr'd are those so early made. Romeo and Juliet, Act i. Sc. 2.

Capulet also probably alludes to the Rebound, and to the line used by Puttenham.

Bion. His daughter is to be brought by you to the supper.

Luc. And then ?

Bion. The old priest of Saint Luke's church is at your command at all hours.
