" Gnawing jealousy, out of their sight, 



Sitting alone, his bitter lips did bite." 



Shakspeare calls this monster 



" Green-eyed jealousy." 



AN UPSTART 



Is represented by a mushroom on a green

 rooms come up in a night, and yet they are 

 unsown ; and therefore such as are upstarts in 

 state, they call in reproach mushrooms/ 1 



" The humble mushroom, scarcely known, 



The lowly native of a country town." 



Dry den.
