[30:3] _in her eyes_ [31:1] page 32 [32:1] page 33 [33:1] page 34 [33:2] The remainder of this speech, an extremely fine one, has been quoted incidentally in page 26. Its richness of fancy is wonderful and most characteristic. [34:1] page 35 [34:2] page 36 [35:1] page 37 [37:1] page 38 [37:2] This allusion is repeatedly found in Fletcher. Here the expression of it is defective in precision.

Place me, some god, upon a Piramis, Higher than hill of earth, and lend a voice, Loud as your thunder, to me, that from thence I may discourse, to all the under world, The worth that dwells in him. Shakspeare, too, was not the most likely person to have given the true meaning of the βοωπις ποτνια Ἡρη. I am not aware that either Hall or Chapman shewed him the way. Chapman in the First Book (v. 551) has it; "She with the cowes fair eyes, Respected Juno." [45:2] page 47 [45:3] _2 N. K._, Act V. sc. i, ii, iii. Weber, are V. i. Littledale. [46:1] This beautiful address has been spoken of already.

[49:2-49:2] This is the character of Emilia, by Chaucer and Shakspere, but not by Fletcher of IV. ii., and the author of V. v. (or iii. Littledale)--if he is not Fletcher--with their inconsistencies of Emilia's weak balancing of Palamon against Arcite, now liking one best, then the other, and being afraid that Palamon may get his _figure spoilt_! F. J. F. [49:3] page 51 [50:1] page 52 [50:2] The thought here is frequent in Shakspeare's dramas: and the expression of it closely resembles some stanzas in the Lucrece, especially those beginning, "Oh, comfort-killing night!"
