J. HARVEY BLOOM.

THOMAS HE YWOOD AXD 'THE FAIR MAID OF THE EXCHANGE.'

(See ante, p. 261.)

EQTTAULY clear indications of Heywood are to be found in the text of the play. The notable words are these : associate (v.), com- pendious, exigent (n.), fluence, lackey (v.), immure, perplexion, quittance (v.). It will be best to take them in the order of their occurrence.

P. 7, associate, v. = accompany.

And we not present to associate you. Used once in this sense by Shakespeare. Common in Heywood. Compare ' If You Know not Me,' 2*97 :

Thither, so please you, we'll associate you. Occurs again in ' The Brazen Age,' 181 ^ ' Iron Age,' 330 ; ' Lucrece,' 175, 203 ; and elsewhere.

P. 11, lackey, v.

Bawdier. Will you get up and ride ? Mall. No, I'll lackey by his side.

In ' The Brazen Age,' 178 :

I'll lackey by thee wheresoe'er thou goest. Also ' 1 Edward IV.,' 16 ;' Love's Mistress,*" 110.

P. 13, immure.

. . . .the depth of grief That is immur'd within my heart's deep closet.

One of the commonest of Hey wood's many Latinisms, especially in its literal sense. For its metaphorical application, as here,, compare ' The Brazen Age,' 212 :

Immur'd with death.

The word occurs no fewer than six times in. ' The Brazen Age.'

P. 32, perplexion.

The true perplexion of her wounded heart. Again in ' The Golden Age,' 40.

P. 56, fluence.

The natural fluence of my own wit had been- far better.

Compare ' Royal King and Loyal Subject,' 71 :

1 have lost my spirit And fluence of my brain.

The earliest authority for this word in ' N.E.D.' is this passage from ' The Fair Maid of the Exchange.' Chapman uses it a little later, but then only in the primary sense of " stream." The only other citation, in the Dictionary is from Wood's ' Athenae Oxonienses,' " fluence in discourse " not a- parallel use.
