Pucel. Once I encountred him, and thus I faid;
Thou maiden youth, be vanquifb'd by a maid.
But, with a proud, majestical, high scorn,
He anfwer'd thus: Young Talbot was not born
To be the pillage of a giglot wench.]

Gigges and giglot are ufed by Chaucer for a harlot or ftrumpet.

It were enough to fright the realm of France.

Michael Drayton (in his England's Heroical Epiftles, p. 24.) fays, "That Edward Longfbanks [Edward I.], will'd at his death, That "his body should be boiled, the flesh from the "bones; and that the bones fhould be borne "to the wars of Scotland, which he was per"fuaded unto by prophecy, which told, that "the English fhould ftill be fortunate, fo long "as his bones were carried in the field."

And Mr. Echard obferves, (History of England, vol. 1. p. 322.), "That he folemnly, and "upon his bleffing, gave this charge to his "fon."

Pucel. The regent conquers; and the Frenchmen fly;

Now help me, charming Spells, and periapts.] Periapts were amulets, worn about the neck as preservatives against diseases or danger.

Wierus obferves (a), That the service faid to be done by them, was by effluvia, and vapours from their fubftance. And, in another place, speaking of the cuftom of hanging the first chapter of Saint John's gospel about the neck, as an amulet or periapt, he decries them as vain and (b) ridiculous things.

Now, ye familiar fpirits, that are call'd Out of the powerful regions under earth, Help me this once, that France may get the field.] The fame Wierus fpeaks of a (a) Pucel, (whether the fame or not I cannot affirm), who had forty eight legions of fpirits under direction. Sc. v. p. 516.
