Volume Ix Part 131 (1/2)

[422] [Edits., _finisht_.]

[423] i.e. Measure it out. Hesperiam metire jacens.--_Virgil_.

--_Steevens_.

[424] i.e., Facility; [Greek: euergos], facilis.--_Steevens_.

[425] ”Apud eosdem nasci Ctesias scribit, quam mantichoram appellat, triplici dentium ordine pectinatim coeuntium, facie et auriculis hominis, oculis glaucis, colore sanguineo, corpore leonis, cauda scorpionis modo spicula infigentem: vocis ut si misceatur fistulae et tubae concentus: velocitatis magnae, humani corporis vel praecipue appetentem.”--C. Plinii ”Nat. Hist.” lib. viii. c. 21.

[426] The edit. 1611, reads--

”Do as the devil does, hate panther-mankind.”--_Collier_.

[427] _All--breath_, edits. 1611 and 1629.

[428] The old copy of 1611 reads, _unto their wives_, and it has been supposed a misprint for _wines_; but this seems doubtful taking the whole pa.s.sage together, and the subsequent reference to the _children.

--Collier_.

[429] i.e., To defile. So in Churchyard's ”Challenge,” 1593, p. 251--

”Away foule workes, that _fil'd_ my face with blurs!”

Again, ”Macbeth,” act iii. sc. 1--

”If it be so, For Banquo's issue have I _fil'd_ my mind.”

See also Mr Steevens's note on the last pa.s.sage.

[430] Sorry for you.
