to hide it;〃 but THAT he does presently after。



 those were' i。e。 those who were; who have been。



 Stand staggering' So the 8vo。The 4to 〃Stand THOSE

 For kings are clouts that every man shoots at;

 fate' Old eds。 〃state。〃



 Resolve' Seems to meandissolve (compare 〃our bodies turn

to elements;〃 p。 12; sec。 col。):  but I suspect some corruption

here。



   



 Barbarous' Qy。 〃O barbarous〃? in the next line but one;

〃O treacherous〃? and in the last line of the speech; 〃O bloody〃?

But we occasionally find in our early dramatists lines which are

defective in the first syllable; and in some of these instances

at least it would almost seem that nothing has been omitted by

the transcriber or printer。



 artier' i。e。 artery。  This form occurs again in the SEC。

PART of the present play:  so too in a copy of verses by Day;



   〃Hid in the vaines and ARTIERS of the earthe。〃

        SHAKESPEARE SOC。 PAPERS; vol。 i。 19。



The word indeed was variously written of old:

   〃Riche treasures serue for th'ARTERS of the war。〃

 regiment' i。e。 rule。



 fruit' So the 4to。The 8vo 〃fruites。〃

 talents' Was often used by our early writers for TALONS;

as many passages might be adduced to shew。  Hence the quibble in

Shakespeare's LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST; act iv。 sc。 2。; 〃If a TALENT

be a claw;〃 &c。



 harpy' So the 8vo。The 4to 〃Harper;〃 and with that

reading the line is cited; in a note on MACBETH; act iv。 sc。 1;

by Steevens; who also gives 〃tires UPON my life;〃 but 〃TIRES〃

(a well…known term in falconry; and equivalent here topreys)

is to be pronounced as a dissyllable。  (In the 4to it in spelt

〃tyers。〃



 the' So the 4to。The 8vo 〃thy。〃



 bassoes' i。e。 bashaws。



 Christians renied' i。e。 Christians who have denied; or

renounced their faith。In THE GENT。 MAGAZINE for Jan。 1841;

J。 M。 would read 〃Christians RENEGADENS〃 or 〃CHRISTIAN

RENEGADES:〃

but the old text is right; among many passages that might be

cited; compare the following;



   〃And that Ydole is the God of false Cristene; that han

    RENEYED hire FEYTHE。〃

        THE VOIAGE AND TRAVAILE OF SIR JOHN MAUNDEVILE;

        p。 209。 ed。 1725。



   〃For that thou should'st RENY THY FAITH; and her thereby

      possesse。

    The Soldan did capitulat in vaine:  the more thy blesse。〃

        Warner's ALBIONS ENGLAND; B。 XI。 Ch。 68。 p。 287。 ed。

1596。

writers (in Shakespeare; for instance)。

challenged the Muses to a trial of song; were overcome; and

REST。〃



 bastones' i。e。 bastinadoes。



 they' So the 8vo。0mitted in the 4to。



 Morocco' Here the old eds。 〃Moroccus;〃a barbarism which

I have not retained; because previously; in the stage…direction

at the commencement of this act; p。 19; they agree in reading

〃Morocco。〃

 the' Has perhaps crept in by a mistake of the transcriber

or printer。



 And make your strokes to wound the senseless light' The

old eds。 have;



   〃And make OUR strokes to wound the sencelesse LURE。〃



(the last word being; perhaps; in the 8vo 〃lute。〃) Here 〃light〃

is a very questionable reading:  qy。 〃air〃? (though the third

line above ends with that word)。



 boss' In the GENT。 MAG。 for Jan。 1841; J。 M。 proposed

to alter 〃boss〃 to 〃Bassa。〃  But Cotgrave; in his DICT。; has;

have;



   〃Bajazeth flies; and he pursues him。  The battell short

    'Qto。 is short'; and they enter; Bajazeth is ouercome。〃



This not very intelligible stage…direction means perhaps that;

after Bajazeth and Tamburlaine had entered; a short combat was

to take place between them。



 foil' The old eds。 〃soil。〃



 gat' So the 8vo。The 4to 〃got。〃



 pilling' i。e。 plundering。
