_Non sic Libycis Syrtibus æquor Furit alternos volvere fluctus, Non Euxini turget ab imis Commota vadis unda, nivali Vicina polo; Ubi, cæruleis immunis aquis, Lucida versat plaustra Bootes, Ut praecipites regum casus Fortuna rotat._ These lines, with those immediately before and after, are more loosely adapted in Kyd's _Spanish Tragedie_, III, 1, 1-11. =126=, 23. =this embodied shadow:= this spirit while it had bodily form. =126=, 24-27. =With reminiscion . . . of art.= Cf. IV, 2, 158-61. =127=, 41-53. =Terror of darknesse . . . greater light.= After Bussy's statement in ll. 29-32 we should expect him to immediately summon _the Prince of darknesse_, Behemoth. But ll. 41-46 are apparently addressed to the sun-god, who is invoked to put to flight night and mystery. Then as an alternative, in ll. 47-53, Behemoth, to whom darkness is as light, is bidden appear. Dilke substitutes _oh_ for _or_ (the reading of all Qq) at the beginning of l. 47. If this change be right, the invocation commences at this line, and ll. 41-46 are merely a preliminary rhetorical appeal for more illumination. But in this case there is an incongruity between such an appeal and the summoning of the _Prince of shades_, who sees best where darkness is thickest. Lamb in his _Specimens_ retains the reading of the Qq, and says of the passage: "This calling upon Light and Darkness for information, but, above all, the description of the spirit--'threw his changed countenance headlong into clouds'--is tremendous, to the curdling of the blood. I know nothing in poetry like it." =130=, 103. =all the signes:= i. e. of the Zodiac. =131.= =Intrat Umbra Frier . . . Tamyra.= The Ghost of the Friar enters and _discovers_, i. e. _reveals to view_, Tamyra, who since the close of V, 1, has remained wrapped _in the arras_, or, as the variant stage direction in A here puts it, _wrapt in a canapie_. =131=, 9. =before he be revenged:= before vengeance is taken on him. The reading of A, _engaged_, is perhaps (as Dilke suggests) preferable. =133=, 27-28. =what . . . D'Amboys:= what bugbear, such as this, is not afraid to visit D'Amboys, even in his sleep? =134=, 45. =Will . . . here?= D'Ambois's sword fails to pierce the _privy coat_ worn by the murderer. Cf. V, 2, 57. =134=, 52. =That . . . resembled:= That was a successful artifice, and a skilful impersonation. =135=, 65. =enforce the spot:= emphasize the stain on your honour. =136=, 82. =Then . . . fact:= then these teachers of divinity deal with figments, not with realities. =136=, 83-84. =Man . . . servant:= Man consists of two attached friends, the body and the mind, of which the latter is swayed by the former, as a lover by his mistress.
