Note 317 — SCENE VII.
Reading edition
This expression of contempt I have seen in other ancient writers. It is used in the first scene of Marlowe's "Edward II."—
"As for the multitude, they are but sparks Rak'd up in embers of their poverty; Tanti; I'll fan first on the wind," &c.
There is, perhaps, some omission after it, as the line is imperfect, which might explain the meaning of the exclamation.—Collier.
