Note 586 — THE BLACK BOOK.
Reading edition
fat-sagg chin] i. e. chin that sagged (hung down) with fat. Compare our author’s Chaste Maid in Cheapside;
“The bawds will be so fat with what they earn,
Their chins will hang like udders by Easter-eve.”
Vol. iv. p. 32.
When it is recollected that The Black Book and Father Hubburd’s Tales were published without the writer’s name, having merely the initials T. M. subscribed to a prefatory address, my object in citing parallel passages from Middleton’s dramas will be sufficiently apparent.
