[298] Exactly. So, in “Hamlet:” “_jump_ at this dead hour.”--_Steevens._ Again, in “The Two Noble Kinsmen,” act i. sc. 2 [edit. by Dyce, xi. 342]:-- “Where every seeming good’s A certain evil; where not to be even _jump_ As they are here were to be strangers, and Such things to be mere monsters.” And in “Othello,” act ii. sc. 3:-- “Myself the while will draw the Moor apart, And bring him _jump_ where he may Cassio find.” [299] The quarto reads _lost_. [300] Terms current in the universities for different portions of bread and beer.--_Steevens._ In the character of an old college butler by Dr Earle (_Microcosmographie_, 1628), it is said: “He domineers over freshmen, when they first come to the hatch, and puzzles them with strange language of _cues_ and _cees_, and some broken Latin, which he has learnt at his term.”--_Note in edit. 1825._ [301] [Old copy, _then_.] [302] [The old copy omits _ears_, which was suggested, in order to complete the sense, by Steevens.] [303] To obscure day. So in “Othello,” act i. sc. 3: “You must therefore be content to _slubber_ the gloss of your new fortunes.” And again in Howard’s “Defensative against the Poyson of supposed Prophecies,” fol. 1620, p. 117: “Surely, for the most part so they are, as may be gathered ‘either by the colours or the garments, or the _slubbering_ of set purpose to bestow some greater grace and colour of antiquity.’” [304] The word _cling_ is so variously used in different authors, that it is difficult to affix any precise meaning to it. Several instances are quoted by Mr Steevens, in his Note on “Macbeth,” act v. sc. 5. I imagine Horatio means, that his weapon shall _cling to him, or not leave him_, until he had gratified his revenge for his friend’s murder. [305] This word is not in the quarto. [306] In “All’s Well that ends Well,” act iii. sc. 5, one of the stage-directions is _a Tucket afar off_; and in “Henry V.,” act iv. sc. 2, the constable says-- “Then let the trumpets sound _The tucket_-sonance, and the note to mount.” _A Tucket_ is, therefore, probably _a trumpet_. [A certain set of notes on the trumpet.--_Dyce._] [307] The [old copy] reads _wars_. [308] [Old copy, _As if he_.] [309] [Old copy, _dread_.] [310] Poles headed by axes; _contus securi munitus_.--_Skinner._ [311] [Old copy, _forced laid down_.] [312] [Old copy, _for_.] [313] [Old copy, _my tongue_.] [314] The quarto reads _his_ [_go._]
