A fish: he smells like a fish; a very ancient and fish-like smell; a kind of, not of the newest, Poor-John. A strange fish! Were I in England now, (as once I was,) and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there, but would give a piece of silver: there, would this monster make a man;1 any strange 8-looks like a foul bumbard-] This term again occurs in The First Part of Henry IV: " -that swoln parcel of dropsies, that huge bumbard of sack" And again, in Henry VIII. " And here you lie baiting of bombards, when you should do service." By these several passages, 'tis plain, the word meant a large vessel for holding drink, as well as the piece of ordnance so called. Theobald. Ben Jonson, in his Masque of Augurs, confirms the conjecture of Theobald: "The poor cattle yonder are passing away the time with a cheat loaf, and a bumbard of broken beer." So again, in The Martyr'd Soldier, by Shirley, 1638: "His boots as wide as the black-jacks, “Or bumbards, toss'd by the king's guards." And it appears from a passage in Ben Jonson's Masque of Love Restor'd, that a bombard-man was one, who carried about provisions. "I am to deliver into the buttery, so many firkins of aurum potabile, as it delivers out bombards of bouge," &c. Again, in Decker's Match me in London, 1631: "You are ascended up to what you are, from the black-jack, to the bumbard distillation." Steevens. 9 this fish painted,] To exhibit fishes, either real or imaginary, was very common about the time of our author. So, in n Jasper Ja Maine's comedy of the City Match: "Enter Bright, &c. hanging out the picture of a strange fish.” This is the fifth fish That he hath shewn thus." now It appears from the books at Stationers' Hall, that in 1604 was published, "A strange reporte of a monstrous fish, that appeared in the form of a woman from her waist upward, seene in the sea." So likewise, in Churchyard's Prayse and Reporte of Maister Martyne Forboisher's Voyage to Meta Incognita, &c. bl. 1. 12mo. 1578: "And marchyng backe, they found a straunge Fish, dead, that had been caste from the sea on the shore, who had a boane in his head like an Unicorne, which they brought awaye and presented to our Prince, when thei came home."
