Cornelia must live (though life she hateth) To make your tombs, and mourn upon your hearses; Where, languishing, my famous faithful tears May trickling bathe your generous sweet cinders; And afterward, both wanting strength and moisture, Fulfilling with my latest sighs and gasps The happy vessels that enclose your bones, I will surrender my surcharged life; And, when my soul earth's prison shall forego, Increase the number of the ghosts below. _Non prosunt Domino, quæ prosunt omnibus, artes._ THO. KYD. FINIS. FOOTNOTES: [370] Far gone in woe. Dr Warburton observes: "This word was common enough amongst the old Scottish and English poets, as G. Douglas, Chaucer, Lord Buckhurst, Fairfax." See Notes on "Second Part of Henry IV.," act i. sc. 1., by him and Mr Steevens. Again, in Erasmus's "Praise of Folie," sig. E 3: "As who before represented a kinge, being clothed all in purpre, havinge no more but shifted hymselfe litle, shoulde shew hymselfe agayne lyke _a woo begon_ myser." [371] [Old copies, _nobles_.] [372] _Thapsus_, a maritime town in Africa, where Cæsar defeated the remains of Pompey's army.--_Steevens._ [373] [Cutlass.] "A cuttelas, courtelas, or short sword for a man at armes."--Cotgrave's "Dictionary," _voce coutelas_. [374] [Every-each, an uncommon form in our later literature, though constantly occurring in the old poetry and romance.] [375] Headpieces or helmets. So, in Marston's "Sophonisba," act i. sc. 2-- "And while our ore-toyl'd foe Snores on his unlac'd _cask_, all faint, though proud; Through his successful fight." And _ibid._ act ii. sc. 2--"Enter Massinissa in his gorget and shirt, shield, sword, his arme transfixt with a dart; Jugurth followes with his cures and _caske_." [376] [Old copies, _champant_.] [377] [Old copies, _nor northeast_.] [378] Terms of heraldry.--_Steevens._ [379] This speech is in great measure translated from the 7th Book of Lucan, 1. 560, &c.-- "Hic Cæsar, rabies populi, stimulusque furorum, Ne qua parte sui pereat scelus, agmina circum It vagus, atque ignes animis flagrantibus addit. Inspicit et gladios, qui toti sanguine manent, Qui niteant primo tantum mucrone cruenti, Quæ presso tremat ense manus," &c.--_Steevens._ [380] "Pell-mell. Confusedly, hand over head, all in a heap one with another"--Cotgrave, voce _Pesle-mesle_. So, in Marston's "Sophonisba," act i. sc. 2-- "We gave the signe of battaile: shouts are rais'd That shook the heavens: _Pell-mell_ our armies joyn Horse, targets, pikes, all against each opposed." [381] [Hipponium. See Smith's "Dict. of Geogr." _in v._] [382] So both the ancient editions. Mr Dodsley altered it to _tearing_ unnecessarily and improperly. _To tire_ is a term in falconry, and signifies to prey on, or tear in pieces.
