PAg. 25. Lin. 12. Your Farce wasn't well tim'd Mr. Rogue.] Non sat Commode divisa sunt temporibus tibi, Dave, haec. This is an Allusion to the Thea∣tre, and is the same as if he had said, Your Incidents were not well prepar'd. The Translation comes short of the original, because the Rules of the stage were then more strictly observ'd.
Ibid. Lin. 26. In the first place let her be well bath••d. It was their constant Custom in Greece, for
2 Lying-in Woman to be immediately put into 2 Bath.
Pag 33. Lin. 12. What d'ye deserve for your Pains? Quid meritus? This is an Allusion to the A∣thenian Custom of saying, Quid meritus, to Con∣demned Persons, whose Pains were augmented or diminished according to the Answer they gave; there∣fore the Grace of this Expression is quite lost in our Language.
