Note 180 — THE CITY GALLANT.
Reading edition
A bale of dice is the same as a pair of dice. So in Ben Jonson's "New Inn," act i. sc. 3—
"For exercise of arms a bale of dice, Or two or three packs of cards, to show the cheat, And nimbleness of hand."
And in Marston's "What You Will," act iii. sc. 1—
"Marquesse of Mumchance, and sole regent over a bale of false dice."
