"Myself was once a studient, and indeed Fed with the selfsame humour he is now: Dreaming on nought but idle poetry, That fruitless and unprofitable art, Good unto none, but least unto the professors." [282] _It is_, 1633. [283] [Old copies, _plausible_.] [284] _Said_, 1618, '23, '33. [285] _Of the Rhodes_, 1618. [286] _This is_, 1816, '23, '33. [287] _Hang'd_, ditto. [288] _That_, 1618. [289] _To_, omit, ditto. [290] _i.e._, Diana. [291] _That_, 1623, '33. [292] _The_, omitted, 1618, '23, '33. [293] _O then_, 1633. [294] _I why_, ditto. [295] Where _they murdered_, 1618, '23. _Where they have murdered_, 1633. [296] _Blessless_, 1618, '23, '33. [297] _Solicited with his wounds_, ditto. [298] _To hold exclude_, ditto. [299] _Thy_, 1618, '23, '33. [300] _Good my_, 1633. [301] _Is_, 1618, '23, '33. [302] Mr Malone was usually very accurate in his quotations; but in this line he made a singular mistake (edition of Shakespeare, 1821, iii. 108), where, referring to the play, he cites thus:-- "Well done, Balthazar, hang up the tilt"--instead of "hang up the title." He thus lost a material passage, to show that of old a board was hung up on the stage with the title and scene of the piece-- "Hang up the _title_; Our scene is Rhodes." So also in "Wily Beguil'd" 1606-- "PROLOGUE. How now, my honest rogue, what play shall we have here to-night? PLAYER. Sir, you may look upon the title. PROLOGUE. What, 'Spectrum' once again?" The title of "Spectrum" is afterwards removed by the sleight of hand of a juggler, and "Wily Beguil'd" substituted for it.--_Collier._ [303] _My_, 1623, '33. [304] _On them_, 1618, '23, '33. [305] _Our_, ditto. [306] _Denie_, 1618. [307] _Christian_, omitted, 1633. [308] _Betinde_, 1618. [309] _Then let_, 1618, '23, '33. [310] _For_, omitted, 1618, '23, '33. [311] _Be_, 1618, '23, '33. [312] _Turn'd_, 1618. [313] _The trait'rous_, 1623, '33. [314] _To sort_ is _to choose_ or _select_. As in the "Third Part of Henry VI.," v. 6--"For I will _sort_ a pitchy day for thee;" and in Ford's "Lover's Melancholy,"--"We shall _sort_ time to take more notice of him." [315] _Resemble_, 1618, '23. [316] _Waile_, 1633. [317] _Which_, 1618, '23, '33. [318] _Preserv'd_, ditto. [319] _Bleeding_, 1623, '33. [320] _So_, 1623, '33. [321] _Gentlies_, ditto. [322] _Staidst_, 1623, '33. [323] In the sense of the Latin _securus_, "securus admodum de bello animi securi homo." A negligent security arising from a contempt of the object offered.--Dr Warburton's note on "Troilus and Cressida," iv. 5. See also Dr Farmer's note on the above passage. [324] [Old copies, _reveng'd_.] [325] _Revenged_, 1618, '23, '33. [326] Intimate. So, in the "Malcontent," iv. 3: "Come, we must be _inward_; thou and I all one;" and again, in Tourneur's "Revenger's Tragedy," ii.--
