Representative English Comedies, v. 1. From the beginnings to Shakespeare

Note 1785 — PLEASANT HISTORY OF the two angry women of Abington.

Reading edition

Some word, or words, have dropt out here. The lines ought to be arranged thus:—

"God send ye both good speed!— Gods Lord, my mother!—Quickly stand aside, And closely too, least that you be espied." Dyce.

The missing foot before 'stand' may indicate the dramatic pause for surprise. See my Appendix to Greene (Metres).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
