Note 4 — SECTION III.

A dor, dorne, or drone is the lazy male bee that makes no honey: hence Doron, the dorne (pronounce dor´un). There was a myth that dors or drones were produced by mules, hence Muli-dor (see Minshew drone). But a drone is also the drone of a bagpipe, or the bagpipe itself, which was called chevrau (see Cotgrave, chevrau) or cheveril: and chevrau is Kyd. It is evident from Greene's tracts that Doron was meant for the writer of The Taming of a Shrew, and Mulidor for the same author—there cannot be a doubt of the identity of the characters. Nash's address identifies The Taming of a Shrew writer with Kyd.
