ARGUMENT.
- ↑ In the editions previous to 1674, the lines stand thus:
The knight, by damnable magician,
Being cast illegally in prison. - ↑ An action on the case, is an action for redress of wrongs and injuries, done without force, and not specially provided against by law.
- ↑ The first editions read revi's. To revie means to cover a sum put down upon a hand at cards with a larger sum; also to retort or recriminate. See Wright's Provincial Dictionary.
