Note 215 — SCENE III.
Reading edition
The weight of a wedding-ring, in Middleton's time (a little earlier than that of Killigrew), may be seen by the following part of a dialogue from his "Chaste Maid in Cheapside," 1630, p. 7—
"Touchwood, jun. I would have a wedding-ring made for a gentlewoman, with all speed that may be. "Yellowhammer. Of what weight, sir? "Touchwood, jun. Of some half ounce."
—Collier.
