As in three out of the four instances in which this word is used it evidently referred to fantastic dresses or the appendages to them, it may be inferred that the children of the stable were ludicrously habited, and which is the more probable if the conjecture which has been hazarded be correct, that they were employed in riding racing horses.Gerewas, however, sometimes used for the ornamental parts of dress, for Louis XII. king of France, is described in a letter from the Earl of Worcester in 1514, as "devysing new collers and goodlygerefor" the queen his bride.—Ellis'sOriginal Letters, second Series, vol. i. p. 236. Mr. Markland observes "this word,per se, meant clothing simply. From the days of Spenser to those of Swift, when magnificence or ornament is implied, the word is accompanied with some epithet; thus 'gorgeous gear' in the former, and 'glittering birth-day gear' in the latter. SeeMasking." Shakspeare, however, uses the word in the sense which it is supposed to be employed in the text:
