Note 232 — SCENE II.
Reading edition
an almond for parrot] “The title of a pamphlet [by Nash], called, 'An Almond for a Parrot, or Cuthbert Curry-knaves Almes.' B. L., no date, is here alluded to.” Reed.—There is no such allusion. The expression, “an almond for parrot,” is old (it occurs in Skelton), and by no means uncommon. See my note on Webster’s Works, vol. iii. p. 122.
