- 78 In Middleton A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, 4to, 1630 (acted perhaps twenty twenty years before), iii, 2, at the christening we have the prattle of the gossips:
Third Gossip: Now, by my faith, a fair high-standing cup
Third Gossip: And two great postle spoons, one of them gilt.
First Puritan: Sure, that was Judas then with the red beard.
Cf. Dryden’s lines on Jacob Tonson, the publisher: With two left legs and Judas-coloured hair.
In As You Like It, iii, 4, Rosalind says: “His own hairs of the dissembling colour,” to which Celia replies: “Something browner than Judas’s.”Martial, xii, liv, has an epigram:
Crine ruber, niger ore, breuis pede, lumine laesus
Rem magnam praesta, Zoile, si bonus es.
Upon which Lemaire glosses (Martialis Epigrammata; Parisüs 1825, iii, p. 48): “Crine ruber. Hoc semper in malam partem acceptum, et ut pulchritudini, ita bonae indoli contrarium uisum. Et apud nos hodie exstat tritum prouerbium quo improbitatis arguuntur qui crinem rubrum habent.” In folk-lore red hair is regarded as a mark of great sexuality, Κρυπτάδια, vol. ii, p. 258.
Thy mother felt more than a mother’s pain,
And yet brought forth less than a mother’s hope;
To wit, an indigest deformed lump …
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born,
To signify thou earnest to bite the world.
And again:
For I have often heard my mother say
I came into the world with my legs forward …
The midwife wonder’d, and the women cried
“Oh! Jesus bless us! he is born with teeth!”
And so I was: which plainly signified
That I should snarl, and bite, and play the dog.
