191. 'The worse <because> I see thee.'

196. _what thou thynk_: 'what seems to you best', 'what you like'; _thou

thynk_ for _thee thynk_—the verb being properly impersonal; see notes

to XVI 338 and VI 192.

200. _Stafford blew_: from the context this line might mean 'you are a

scaremonger', for blue is the recognized colour of fear, and it might be

supposed that 'Stafford blue' represents a material like 'Lincoln

green'. But Mätzner is certainly right in interpreting the line 'you

deserve a beating'. _Stafford blew_ would then be the livid colour

produced by blows. The reference, unless there is a play on _staff_, is

obscure.
