_Nashe's "Terrors of the Night," 4to. 1594._--Can any correspondent
oblige me with Notes, critical, philological, or otherwise, illustrative
of the subjoined passages, which occur, among many others scarcely less
curious, in the above rare tract, of which I am fortunate enough to
possess a (not quite perfect) copy? Speaking of Iceland, he says,--
"It is reported, that the Pope long since gaue them a dispensation
to receiue the Sacrament in ale, insomuch as for their vncessant
frosts there, no wine but was turned to red emayle as soone as
euer it came amongst them."--_D._ iii.
"Other spirits like rogues they have among them, destitute of all
dwelling and habitation; and they chillingly complayne if a
constable aske them _Cheuela_ in the night, that they are going
vnto Mount Hecla to warme them."--_D._ ii.
What is _emayle_? and is _Cheuela_ for _Qui va là_?
