Note 400 — ACT V.
Reading edition
Edward Guilpin in his sixth Satire (Skialetheia, 1598, sig. E. V.) alludes to Marston’s Reactio:— “The double-volum’d satire praised is And liked of divers for his rods in piss, Yet other some who would her credit crack, Have clapp’d Reactio’s action on her back.”
The expression “rods in piss” is used in reference to Sat. i. l. 44. of the Scourge of Villainy. “Double-volum’d satire” seems to refer to Hall’s two collections of Satires; but the passage is obscure.
