=35=, 130. =hunt Honour at the view.= A rare metaphorical application of the technical phrase, "hunt at the view." =35.= [=Exit Nuntius.=] The editor has inserted this, as the Qq do not indicate when the Nuncius departs, and, with the entrance of Bussy, there is no further need of him. =bare:= bareheaded. =35=, 141-44. =If ever Nature . . . one.= Difficult lines, which may be paraphrased: if ever Nature's bond maintained its strength, when subjected to the severe test of bridging the distance between sovereign and subject, both sprung from the same seed, now prove that in elevated stations she can show her nobility. =36=, 156. =that=, i. e. positive law. =36=, 157. =prefixing:= settling beforehand. =36=, 164. =this fact, though of justice:= this action, though done in the name of justice. =37=, 170. =he=, i. e. his enemy. =37=, 175-76. =which . . . him:= which is more precious than a human life, which is inferior in value to it, and which was rightly forfeited to him through ill-doing. =37=, 190. =This is a grace.= The grace or boon for which Bussy asks is explained by him in ll. 193-203. "This" usually refers to something that has gone before, =on my knees redoubled:= going down for the second time on my knees--from which he had risen after l. 179. =37=, 192. =And shall=, i. e. And which grace shall. =38=, 198-204. =Let me . . . King indeed.= With this assertion of man's original "Kingship" cf. _The Gentleman Usher_, V, 1. And what's a prince? Had all been virtuous men, There never had been prince upon the earth, And so no subject: all men had been princes. A virtuous man is subject to no prince, But to his soul and honour. =38.= [=Exit Rex cum Montsurry.=] See note on stage direction at beginning of this scene. =40=, 18. =Although she be my ante.= From these words we learn that Beaupre is niece to the Duke and Duchess of Guise. Compare III, ii, 188, and the reference to "my lady, your niece" in the passage in Qq 1607 and 1608 quoted in the textual note on III, ii, 233. =42=, 49. =an agent for my bloud:= an instrument in the satisfaction of my passions. =42=, 57-58. =his retiring . . . aspiring:= his retirement to a position of inferiority will satisfy my aspirations. =43=, 70-71. =Wise wives . . . friend.= Tamyra ironically keeps up the metaphor of the "two strings" in l. 66, and plays upon the double senses of "firm" and "loose" in archery and morals. =44=, 95. =as good cheap as it:= literally, on as advantageous terms as; hence, with as little effort as, as readily as. =45=, 108-10. =Whose there . . . quality.= Cf. _All Fools_, II, 1, p. 67 (Phelps). While I sit like a well-taught writing-woman Turning her eyes upon some work or picture, Read in a book, or take a feigned nap, While her kind lady takes one to her lap. =45=, 117. =oportunities:= importunities, which Dilke wished to substitute. But "opportunity" was used in this sense. Cf. _Mer. Wiv. Wind._ III, 4, 20-2.
