under thy favour
forbear!
Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association
144.
It occurs
several times in _Ev. Man in_:
'_Step. _ Yet, by his leave, he is a rascal, under his favour,
do you see.
_E. Know. _ Ay, by his leave, he is, and under favour:
a pretty piece of civility! '
--_Wks. _ 1. 68.
'_Down. _ 'Sdeath! you will not draw then?
_Bob. _ Hold, hold!
under thy favour forbear! '
--_Wks. _ 1. 117.
'_Clem. _ Now, sir, what have you to say to me?
_Bob. _ By your worship's favour----. '
--_Wks. _ 1. 140.
I have not been able to confirm Gifford's assertion.
=1. 3. 30 that's a popular error. = Gifford refers to _Othello_
