Note

[edit]

I don't think that the following line is accurate:
"Thomas escapes into the garden, and Tappercoom enters as the Mayor as he complains about Jennet's beauty and charm tempting him."
It makes it seem as if Tappercoom is impersonating the Mayor. As I haven't yet read the play, it may be accurate, but I think it's unlikely.

Another unlikely line: "Tappercoom quietly suggests that Jennet and Thomas quietly leave town before morning before leaving as well." BaruMonkey (talk) 15:04, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to her pun, in Teach Yourself Old English, 1964, a passage by Gregory the Great is titled "The Lad is Not For Burning". That play seems to have inspired quite a few people! Vince Calegon 13:20, 16 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Calegon (talkcontribs)
