=29=, 12-13. =bruits it . . . healthfull:= proclaims it through the world to be sound and wholesome. =31=, 51-52. =Pyrrho's opinion . . . are one.= A sweeping generalisation, which cannot be accepted as an interpretation of the doctrines of the sceptical philosopher of Elis. =31=, 54-58. =As Hector . . . speak.= The reference is to _Iliad_, VII, 54 ff., though Hector is there described as keeping back the Trojans with his spear. =32=, 60. =Ript up the quarrell:= explained the cause and origin of the quarrel (Dilke). =32=, 63-64. =conclude The others dangers:= might put an end to the risks of their companions by making their single combat cover the whole quarrel. _Conclude_ here unites the Elizabethan sense _include_ with the ordinary meaning _finish_. =32=, 77-80. =And then . . . never kill.= An anticipation, as Lamb and others have pointed out, of Milton's description of angelic wounds, _Par. Lost_, VI, 344-49. =33=, 84-87. =Thrice pluckt . . . scap't.= The accumulation of personal pronouns makes the interpretation somewhat difficult: thrice D'Ambois plucked at it, and thrice drew on thrusts from Barrisor who darted hither and thither like flame, and continued thrusting as D'Ambois plucked; yet, incredible to relate, the latter escaped injury. =33=, 90. =only made more horrid with his wound:= Barrisor being only rendered fiercer by his wound. The construction is loose, as grammatically the words should qualify D'Ambois. =33=, 92. =redoubled in his danger:= thrusting himself into danger for the second time. For this peculiar use of _redoubled_ cf. l. 190, "on my knees redoubled," and note. =33=, 94. =Arden.= Probably to be no more identified here with the Warwickshire district of this name than in _As You Like It_. Ardennes would be more appropriate on a Frenchman's lips, but the district belongs to the realm of fancy as much as Armenia in l. 117. =33=, 97. =he gan to nodde.= An anacoluthon. The construction should be "begin to nodde" after "I have seene an oke" in l. 94, but the intervening participial clauses produce irregularity. Similarily in l. 101 "he fell" should be "fall" and "hid" should be "hide." =33=, 103-104. =Of ten set . . . Navarre.= The war between Henry III and Henry of Navarre continued from 1587 to 1589, but the "ten set battles" are without historical foundation. =34=, 105. [=Montsurry.=] See note on stage direction at beginning of the scene. =34=, 108. =felt report:= probably, account related with feeling. =34=, 121. =the treasure of his brow:= his horn. =34=, 122. =shelter of a tree.= Unicorns were supposed to be worsted in encounters by their adversaries sheltering behind trees, in which they impaled themselves. Spenser, _F. Q._ II, 5, 10, describes how a lion defeats a unicorn by this stratagem. Cf. _Jul. Cæs._ II, 1, 303-04. "He loves to hear That unicorns may be betray'd with trees." =34=, 128. =th' tw' other=, i. e. Pyrrhot and Melynell.
