[270] It had been originally printed _Second_, but corrected by pasting _First_ over it. [271] Old copy, _presence_. [272] _i.e._, _Reach’d_ or _gave_ the reins to will. [273] The word _subjection_ in this place has been pasted over “allegiance.” [274] [Old copy, _promise_.] [275] “Illi mors gravis incubat, Qui notus nimis omnibus, Ignotus moritur sibi.” --_Sen. Thyestes_, act ii. Chor. [276] In the original misprinted _ceeepe_. [277] _Overhippes_ in the original. [278] [In the Chorus to the third scene, the word _foulter_ is used in the undoubted sense of falter-- “They fall and foulter like the mellow fruit.” But see Nares, edit. 1859, _v. fouldring_.] [279] [Old copy, _mischiefes_.] [280] _Curæ leves loquuntur, ingentes stupent._ “The grief that does not speak, Whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.” --_Macbeth_, act iv., sc. 3. [281] [Old copy, _pagions_.] [282] “In omni adversitate fortunæ infelicissimum genus infortunii est fuisse felicem.”--Boet: _De Consol Philos._ L. II.
