English drama
"I in mine own woe charm'd,
Could not find death, where I did hear him groan;
Nor feel him, where he struck: being an ugly monster,
'Tis strange, he hides him in fresh cups, soft beds,
Sweet words; or hath more ministers than we
That draw his knives i' th' war."
[168] [Mr Collier's correction. Old copy, _leave_.]
[169] Embrace.
[170] [_i.e._, Surround, crown.]
[171] See note to "The Miseries of Enforced Marriage" [ix. 538.]
[172] [Old copy, _a young_.]
[173] Old copy reads _thirstiest_.
[174] So Milton, in "Paradise Lost," bk. iv. 1. 159--
"As when to them who sail
Beyond the Cape of Hope, and now are past
Mozambique, off at sea north-east winds blow
Sabean odours from the spicy shore
Of Araby the blest: with such delay
Well pleas'd they slack their course, and many a league
Cheer'd with the grateful smell old Ocean smiles."
[175] [Debauched.]
