Note 402 — ACT V.
Reading edition
“Huc usque Xylinum.”—Marginal note in old ed. The meaning is “Bombast—balderdash—up to this point.” Marston lets the reader know that the high-sounding lines at the beginning of this satire are to be taken in jest. See more on p. 342. (Lat. xylinum, Gr. ξύλινον = cotton, bombast.)
