"A VERY, VERY PA JOCK," ' HAMLET, ' III. ii.
278. I think the following passage gives us the word " pajock " with a different spelling. It is probably an onomatopeic representation of the cry of the peacock. The passage is from Sir John Harington's ' Ulysses upon Ajax,' 1596 (Chiswick reprint, p. 41) :
" \Vho Hveth, of any reading (were he content to surfeit in his folly), that with Aretine could not talk of Nanna, with another [Elder-ton ?] of a red nose, with Perieres of a pye and Piaux? I have seen an oration made in praise of a college custard,
and commending a goose."
" Perieres " is, I suppose, Pereira, a Spanish physician, who wrote (in the middle of the sixteenth century) a great deal about the souls of beasts and their transmigration, in which he did not believe. Of course " Piaux" may have some other meaning altogether, may even be a proper name, then I am wholly But it seems to me to stand for

P. 43, 1. 19 ; 20, 33, " merito cui doctior orbis," &c. : in my last paper I should have added that Lipsius's anonymous quotation is from Florens Christianus, 11. 35, 36, of verses on Scaliger's edition of Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius (' Del. Poet. Gall.,' i. 802, and at beginning of Scaliger's 'Cat., Tib., and Prop.,' 1600). That Burton took it from Lipsius is shown by merito, which is Lipsius's addition.
