Note 351 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 2)
Reading edition
G. A. V, ‘Pluto drawes hell: the Fates put upon him a burning Roabe, and present him with a Mace, and burning crowne’; S. A. II, ‘Jupiter appeares in his glory under a Raine-bow’; IV, ‘Thunder, lightnings, Jupiter descends in his maiesty, his Thunderbolt burning’.... ‘As he toucheth the bed it fires, and all flyes up’; V, ‘Fire-workes all over the house’.... ‘Enter Pluto with a club of fire, a burning crowne, Proserpine, the Judges, the Fates, and a guard of Divels, all with burning weapons’; B. A. II, ‘There fals a shower of raine’. Perhaps one should remember the sarcasm of Warning for Fair Women, ind. 51, ‘With that a little rosin flasheth forth, Like smoke out of a tobacco pipe, or a boys squib’.
