He only, that no death doth dread, Doth live at rest. [_Exit._ FOOTNOTES: [353] [Old copies, _tyrannous_.] [354] [Getullum, in Tripoli. See Hazlitt's "Classical Gazetteer," _in v._] [355] Similar to this expression is _chap-fallen_, still used by the vulgar. In Beaumont and Fletcher's "Mad Lover," act ii., Calis says _his palate's down_, which seems to have the same signification. It will be seen by the following quotation from Webster's "Appius and Virginia," 4to, 1654, that brawn-fall'n is something different from what Reed has described it-- "Let Th' enemies stript arm have his crimson'd _brawns_ Up to the elbowes in your traitorous blood."--Page 9. [356] Dryden and Lee, in their tragedy of "Oedipus," act iv. sc. 1, have the following beautiful passage, which may be compared with the present-- "When the sun sets, shadows, that show'd at noon But small, appear most long and terrible; So when we think fate hovers o'er our heads. Our apprehensions shoot beyond all bounds, Owls, ravens, crickets seem the watch of death, Nature's worst vermin scare her god-like sons. Echoes, the very leavings of a voice, Grow babling ghosts, and call us to our graves: Each molehill thought swells to a huge Olympus, While we fantastick dreamers heave and puff, And sweat with an imagination's weight; As if, like Atlas, with these mortal shoulders We could sustain the burden of the world." [357] _i.e._, Easy, easily. _Eath_ is an old Saxon word, signifying ease. Hence _uneath_ [or _unneth_] for _uneasily_, [or, rather, _scarcely_.] So, in the "Second Part of Henry VI.," act ii. sc. 4-- "_Uneath_ may she endure the flinty streets."--_S._ Again, in Spenser's "Fairy Queen," B. iv. c. 12. § 1-- "For much more _eath_ to tell the starres on hy, Albe they endlesse seeme in estimation." [358] Probably booters.--_S. P._ S. P. [Dr Pegge] would read _booters_; but he ought to have known that the _Scythians_ were contemptuously styled _porters_, because they _carried_ their huts and families about with them in wains; omnia sua secum _portantes_. So Lucan, lib. ii. v. 641-- "Pigra palus _Scythici_ patiens Mæotica _plaustri_." Again, Horace, "Carm.," lib. iii. Od. 24-- "Campestres melius _Scythoe_, Quorum _plaustra_ vagas rite trahunt domos." After all, what could _booters_ mean? Unless S. P. designed to characterise the _Scythians_, as Homer does his countrymen, ®eÿknêmides Achaioi®, the well-_booted_ Greeks. [II. a. 17.] Free-_booters_, indeed, is used for plunderers; but I know not that _booters_ is ever employed, unless in conjunction with some epithet that fixes its meaning.--_S._ [359] Dishonoured. So in Spenser's "Fairy Queen," B. iii. sc. 1. § 12--
