Dr. Weller, an Eastern Washington University professor of English and Shakespearean scholar for more than 50 years.
Note to Much Ado About Nothing, 1.1.197: "hath not the world one man but he will wear his cap with suspicion?"
hath not the world one man but he will wear his cap with suspicion?: i.e., is there no man in the world who will not stay unmarried? A common jest was that any married man was likely to become a cuckold and sprout horns. Therefore any married man will "wear his cap with suspicion" because he will suspect that he is about to acquire horns.
