=104=, 54. =Behemoth.= The editor has been unable to find any precedent for Chapman's application of this name--which in the Book of Job denotes the whale or hippopotamus--to the chief of the powers of darkness. =104=, 55. =Asaroth.= Apparently a variant of _Ashtaroth_, the plural of _Ashtoreth,_ the Phoenician moon-goddess; here mistakenly used for the name of a male spirit. =104.= =Cartophylax.= A post-classical Greek term for "guardian of papers." =106=, 97. =great in our command:= powerful in exercising command over us. =107-109=, 113-51. =There is . . . his soule.= The dialogue and action here take place probably at the back of the stage, perhaps on the upper stage, of which use is made in _The Tempest_, the _Spanish Tragedie_, and other plays. The characters (as is evident from ll. 102-104) are supposed to be far off, but rendered visible and audible to Tamyra and D'Ambois by Behemoth's power. =107=, 113. =a glasse of ink:= a mirror made of ink, i. e. the paper with the proofs of Tamyra's unfaithfulness. =107=, 116. =fames sepulchres:= the foulness beneath which her good name is buried. =107=, 120-21. =were . . . rarely:= were it never so uncommon, bear it with as unexampled courage. =109=, 156. =In her forc'd bloud.= Dilke is followed in the substitution of _her_ for _his_. The allusion is evidently to the letter that Tamyra afterwards writes to D'Ambois in her own blood. Cf. V, 1, 176-77. =110=, 169-70. =Lest . . . abuse:= lest a furious outburst due to your foreknowledge of the plot against us. =111=, 185. =And . . . policy:= and the Monsieur's stratagems shall be taken in the flank by my own. =111=, 186. =Center.= Here and in l. 192 this word, though strictly meaning the central point of the earth, seems used for the earth itself, as the centre of the universe. For this use cf. Shaks. _Tro. and Cress._ I, 3, 85-86. "The heavens themselves, the planets, and this center Observe degree, priority, and place." =111=, 191. =calme . . . ruine:= unsuspecting tranquillity previous to a convulsion of the elements. =113=, 17-18. =The stony . . . sleeper.= The thunderstone, or thunderbolt, was supposed to have no power of harming any one who was asleep, or who wore laurel leaves. Leigh, in his _Observations on the First Twelve Cæsars_ (1647), p. 43, says of Tiberius that "he feared thunder exceedingly, and when the aire or weather was any thing troubled, he even carried a chaplet or wreath of laurell about his neck, because that as (Pliny reporteth) is never blasted with lightning." =114=, 50. =determinate:= apparently used in the sense of _final_, though the sense is rare, except as qualifying a word which implies previous deliberation. =115=, 55-56. =preventing . . . death:= anticipating the last blast that is to kill those who live, and to give life anew to the dead. =115=, 64. =Fame growes in going.= Borrowed from the _Æneid_, IV, 173-75, _Fama . . . viresque acquirit eundo._
