[Sidenote:  Sillepsis, or the Double supply.]
But if such want be in sundrie clauses, and of seuerall congruities or sence, and the supply be made to serue them all, it is by the figure Sillepsis, whom for that respect we call the [double supplie] conceiuing, and, as it were, comprehending vnder one, a supplie of two natures, and may be likened to the man that serues many masters at once, being of strange Countries or kinreds, as in these verses, where the lamenting widow shewed the Pilgrim the graues in which her husband & children lay buried.
  Here my sweete sonnes and daughters all my blisse,
  Yonder mine owne deere husband buried is.

Where ye see one verbe singular supplyeth the plurall and singular, and
thus
  Iudge ye louers, if it be strange or no;
  My Ladie laughs for ioy, and I for wo.

Where ye see a third person supplie himselfe and a first person.  And thus,
  Madame ye neuer shewed your selfe vntrue,
  Nor my deserts would euer suffer you.

Viz. to show.  Where ye see the moode Indicatiue supply him selfe and an
Infinitiue.  And the like in these other.
  I neuer yet failde you in constancie,
  Nor neuer doo intend vntill I die.

Viz. [to show.] Thus much for the congruitie, now for the sence.  One
wrote thus of a young man, who slew a villaine that had killed his father,
and rauished his mother.
  Thus valiantly and with a manly minde,
  And by one feate of euerlasting fame,
  This lustie lad fully requited kinde,
  His fathers death, and eke his mothers shame.

Where ye see this word [requite] serue a double sence:  that is to say, to reuenge, and to satisfie.  For the parents iniurie was reuenged, and the duetie of nature performed or satisfied by the childe.

  [Sidenote:  Hypozeuxis, or the Substitute.]
But if this supplie be made to sundrie clauses, or to one clause sundrie times iterated, and by seuerall words, so as euery clause hath his owne supplie:  then is it called by the Greekes Hypozeuxis, we call him the substitute after his originall, and is a supplie with iteration, as thus: 
  Vnto the king she went, and to the king she said,
  Mine owne liege Lord behold thy poore handmaid.

Here [went to the king] and [said to the king] be but one clause
iterated with words of sundrie supply.  Or as in these verses following.
  My Ladie gaue me, my Lady wist not what,
  Geuing me leaue to be her Soueraine: 
  For by such gift my Ladie hath done that,
  Which whilest she liues she may not call againe.

Here [my Ladie gaue] and [my Ladie wist] be supplies with iteration, by vertue of this figure.

Ye haue another auricular figure of defect, and is when we begin to speake a thing, and breake of in the middle way, as if either it needed no further to be spoken of, or that we were ashamed, or afraide to speake it it out.  It is also sometimes done by way of threatning, and to shew a moderation of anger.  The Greekes call him Aposiopesis. I, the figure of silence, or of interruption, indifferently.
