ABSTRACT
As most of those 'mocked' terms in Prince and Hoskyns recur in Troilus, their dramatic re-emergence would seem (appropriately to a misrule occasion) to burlesque such diction. The Middle Templar Hoskyns' stylistic admonitions to the Temple student for whom th~y were intended thus coincide in condemning 'perfumed terms of the time' with the Middle Temple's Prince d'Amour revel and the latter's own reprehended 'perfumed terms'. Further, the Middle Templar Hoskyns and the Middle Temple's Prince, in their 'mocked' terms, also coincide with Troilus, which itself features such 'mocked' words. If directed to a revels audience, Troilus could, not surprisingly, reflect the terms and dictional burlesque of contemporary Elizabethan revels.
