“Lord Surrey, in his translation of the second Æneid, renders Panduntur portæ, &c. ‘The gates cast up, we issued out to play.’ The phrase seems to have been adopted either from doing up the latch, or drawing up the portcullis. Again, in the Cooke’s Play, in the Chester collection of mysteries, Ms. Harl. 1013, p. 140: ‘Open up hell-gates anon.’
“It appears from Martin Mark-all’s Apologie to the Bel-man of London, 1610, that in the cant of gypsies, &c. Dup the gigger, signified to open the doore. Steevens.”
