--_my maiden name Sear'd; otherwise_ the worst of _worst extended._ etc. Perhaps it were better thus, --_ my maiden name Sear'd; otherwise_ the worst to _worst extended; _ _With vilest torture let my life be ended._ II.i.182 (45,5) [Thy life is dear; for all, that life can rate Worth name of life, in thee hath estimate] May be _counted_ among the gifts enjoyed by them. II.i.185 (45,7) [prime] Youth; the spring or morning of life. II.ii.40 (48,1) [To be young again] The lady censures her own levity in trifling with her jester, as a ridiculous attempt to return back to youth. Il.iii.6 (49,3) [unknown fear] _Fear_ is here the object of fear. II.iii.11 (50,4) [_Par._ So I say, both of Galen and Paracelsus. _Laf._ Of all the learned and authentic fellows] As the whole merriment of this scene consists in the pretensions of Parollei to knowledge and sentiments which he has not, I believe here are two passages in which the words and sense are bestowed upon him by the copies, which the author gave to Lafen. I read this passage thus, Laf. _To be relinquished of the artists----_ Par. _So I. say._ Laf. _Both of Galen and Paracelsus, of all the learned and authentick fellows----_ Par. _Right, so I say.__ II.iii.41 (51,7) [which should, indeed, give us a farther use to be made, than alone the recovery of the King; as to be-- _Laf._ Generally thankful] I cannot see that there is any _hiatus_, or other irregularity of language than such as is very common in these plays. I believe Parolles has again usurped words and sense to which he has no right; and I read this passage thus, Laf. _In a most weak and debile minister, great power, great transcendence; which should, indeed, give us a farther use to be made than the mere recovery of the king._ Par. _As to be._ Laf. _Generally thankful._ II.iii.66 (52,9) [My mouth no more were broken than these boys'] A broken mouth is a mouth which has lost part of its teeth. II.iii.77 (53,1) [Let the white death sit on thy cheek for ever] [W: dearth] The white death is the chlorosis. II.iii.80 (53,2) [And to imperial Love] [W. The old editions read IMPARTIAL, which is right.] There is no edition of this play older than that of 1623, the next is that of 1632, of which both read imperials the second reads imperial Jove. II.iii.92 (53,3) [Laf. Do they all deny her?] None of them have yet denied her, or deny her afterwards but Bertram. The scene must be so regulated that Lafeu and Parolles talk at a distance, where they nay see what passes between Helena and the lords, but not hear it, so that they know not by whom the refusal is made.
