Note 94 — ACT IV.
Reading edition
“You might carry an M. under your girdle” = you might have the civility to use the term Master. Cf. Heywood’s A Maidenhead well Lost, iii. 2:— “Wife. Sirrah. Clown. Madam. Lan. Why dost view me thus? Clown. To see if the tailor that made your gown hath put ne’er an M. under your girdle: there belongs more to beaten satin than sirrah.”
