nice... good explanation. It's a shame though....: his poetry is so beautiful, yet unless one studies it like you do, one will not get the full beauty out of it. very nice.

I believe saucy jack is reference to a woman who jacks her dress/skirt, though it could note a drunkard (a saucy Jack).

galaxyrainguy, hi Bill, I'm sure there are many explanations for the phrase 'saucy jack' however in this context it is used in the context I have given. And for all I know, knowing Shakespeare's penchant for puns, it might have been intended to produce a wry smile. Eric.

what the fuck is a "saucy jack"?!! I think shakespeare can be poetic but fuck... the vernacular can be so outdated that it loses it's emotion. Serious. ..Good job though.

Hi freezazoid, thanks for comment and compliment at the end. As far as I know a 'jack' was the instrument's 'hammer'. i.e. like the piano when one presses a key, the 'hammer' inside strikes the string (for want of a better word) to produce the note. Shakespeare is saying that since the saucy (cheeky) 'jacks' respond to her/his fingers, let them have the fingers, give me the lips. Cheers, Eric.
