As our occurrents happen in degree. Solicited means prompted or brought on. Compare Macbeth, i. 3. 130: This supernatural solicitingincitement, that is. Hamlet apparently breaks off in the midst of a sentence, feeling death upon him, and has but time to give utterance to his last sigh of relief or regret: The rest is silence. The Ff. print, after these words O, o, o, o-no doubt the absurd addition of some actor, who thought four groans would add to the effect of Hamlet's death. 638. Line 370: Now CRACKS a noble heart.-Crack is used elsewhere by Shakespeare where we should use break. Compare Coriolanus, v. 3. 9 ("a crack'd heart"), Pericles, iii. 2. 77; Merry Wives, ii. 2. 301. 639. Line 375: This quarry cries on havoc.-Compare Julius Cæsar, iii. 1. 273: Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war. The meaning of the phrase here seems to be: "This heap of dead urges to an indiscriminate slaughter." The Clarendon Press edd. quote from Todd's ed. of Johnson's Dictionary an enactment of the Statutes of Warre, &c., by Henry VIII., 1513: "That noo man be so hardy to crye havoke, upon payne of hym that is so found begynner, to dye therefore; and the remenaunt to be emprysoned, and theyr bodyes punyshed at the Kynges will." 640. Line 376: What feast is TOWARD in thine ETERNAL cell. Toward, meaning near at hand, is used once before in this play, i. 1. 77. Eternal, also, is used in i. 5. 21, with the same apparent meaning as here, i.e. infernal. (See note 136.) Compare Julius Cæsar, i. 2. 160, and Othello, iv. 2. 130. The Yankee, therefore, with his "tarnal," is not in such bad company after all. 641. Line 386: jump.-Compare i. 1. 65, and note 11. WORDS OCCURRING ONLY IN HAMLET. NOTE.
