I do not think, therefore that even prim would be a word sufficiently dignified for the situation and context; much less is its diminutive primsie.

Viewing Angelo, therefore, as a man proverbial for rigidly virtuous conduct; who stood "at a guard with envy;" who challenged scrutiny; and who was above the tongue of slander; I do not think that primsie can be looked upon as an appropriate designation in the mouth of Claudio.

He would use some word in the greatest possible contrast to the infamous conduct Isabella was imputing to Angelo: primsie would be weak and almost unmeaning, and, as such, I will not receive it as Shakespeare's, so long as the choice of a better remains.

Now if from prim be formed the secondary adjective primsie, so from prin we get prinsie or prinzie.

"Poor Willie, wi' his bow-kail runt Was brunt wi' primsie Mallie."
