I. i. 177, 179.' your virtue, etc.; "your virtue is to speak well of him whom his own offences have subjected to justice; and to rail at those laws by which he whom you praise was punished" (Johnson). 66 I. iii. 12. 'Picture-like to hang by the wall.' Ancient wall pictures were usually paintings in fresco . . . but the Pompeian wallpaintings furnish us with the annexed curious example of a portable picture (protected by folding leaves) placed over a door, and inclining forward by means of strings secured to rings after the fashion of those in our own houses." I. iii. 16. bound with oak,' as a mark of honour for saving the life of a citizen. I. iii. 46. 'At Grecian sword, contemning, etc.; Folio I reads, "At Grecian sword. Contenning, tell Valeria,' etc.; the reading in the text is substantially Collier's; many emendations have been proposed; perhaps a slightly better version of the line would be gained by the omission of the comma. I. iv. 14. that fears you less'; Johnson conj. but fears you less'; Johnson and Capell conj. ' that fears you more'; Schmidt, 'that fears you,-less.' The meaning is obvious, though there is a confusion, due to the case of the double negative in 'nor' and 'less'' I. iv. 31. you herd of-Boils,' Johnson's emendation. Folios 1, 2, 'you Heard of Byles'; Folios 3, 4, 'you Herd of Biles'; Rowe, 'you herds of biles'; Pope (ed. 1), 'you herds; of boils'; Pope (ed. 2), Theobald, 'you! herds of boils'; Collier MS., ‘unheard of boils'; etc., etc. I. iv. 42. 'trenches followed'; so Folios 2, 3, 4; Folio 1, 'trenches followes'; Collier (ed. 1), 'trenches follow'; (ed. 2), 'trenches. Follow !'; Dyce, Lettsom conj. 'trenches: follow me'; etc. 6 I. iv. 57. Cato's'; Theobald's emendation of Folios, 'Calues' and 'Calves'; Rowe, 'Calvus.' I. vi. 6. 'ye'; Folios, 'the.' I. vi. 76. Folios, 'O, me alone! make you a sword of me?'; the punctuation in the text is Capell's. Clarke's explanation, making the line imperative, seems the most plausible:-"O take me alone for weapon among you all! make yourselves a sword of me." I. ix. 41-53. The chief departure from the folios in this doubtful passage is the substitution of 'coverture' for 'overture, as conjectured by Tyrwhitt; him' is seemingly used here instead of the neuter 'it.' II. i. 52. 'A cup of hot wine.' Cp. the subjoined drawing of an urn discovered at Pompeii. A is a cylindrical furnace, B B spaces for holding the liquor to be warmed. This is poured in at C, and drawn out by a cock on the other side. |
