I wrote a few weeks back looking for anyone with info on links to the
Apocryphal Wisdom of Solomon and Lear. Well, I got lucky and found my
notes-what I don't have is a Geneva Bible (which Shakespeare did) and
that's what the quotes are based on.

If anyone has a Geneva out there and wouldn't mind typing out about six
verses for me, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks

I have been unsuccessfully seeking a gloss for the following line:

Cade (aside):  I'll make thee eat iron like an ostrich.

2 Henry VI  4.10.30

I came across the phrase "eating iroon" in Spenser referring to a
galloping horse chewing his bit, but why an ostrich?
