Reading edition
"Go toie with his nodie." The edition of 1573 reads "go toy with his noddy, with ape in the street," and more recent editions read "go toy with his noddy-like ape in the street." This reading has been adopted by Dr. Mavor. Peacock's Gloss. gives "Noddipol a sillie person. 'Whorson nodipol that I am!'—Bernard's Terence, 43. 'A verye nodypoll nydyote myght be ashamed to say it.'—The Workes of Sir Thomas More, 1557, p. 209."
