"A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 8"

" See also "Comedy of Errors," act iv. sc. 3, and Chaucer's
"Squier's Tale," v. 10916--
"Therefore behoveth him a _ful long spone_,
That shall ete with a fiend."
[479] [To vomit. One of the jests of Scogin relates how that celebrated
individual "told his wife he had _parbraked_ a crow"--a story which
occurs in the "Knight of the Tour-Landry" (Wright's edit., p. 96). See
also Fry's "Bibl. Memoranda," 1816, p. 337. A note in edition 1825
says:] This is a word which I apprehend is very seldom found in writers
subsequent to the year 1600. It is used by Skelton, and sometimes by
Spenser. See Todd's "Johnson's Dict."
[480] [Old copy, _He falls_; but Akercock evidently disappears
simultaneously.]
[481] [Old copy, _names_.]
[482] [Old copy, _song_.]
