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

Note 393 — ROISTER DOISTER BY NICHOLAS UDALL

Reading edition

Note the fondness for proverbs, a trait taken from life and often to be found in later plays.—Sherwood: To whurre, whurle (or yarre) as a dog, Gronder comme un chien. Cooper: scolding. It is perhaps = whirr, whirret (slashing, slash)?
