I.iii.84 (121,4) [Oh, how this spring of love resembleth] At the end of this verse there is wanting a syllable, for the speech apparently ends in a quatrain. I find nothing that will rhyme to _sun_, and therefore shall leave it to some happier critic. But I suspect that the author might write thus: _Oh, how this spring of love resembleth_ right, _The uncertain glory of an April day_; _Which now shews all the glory of the_ light, _And, by and by, a cloud takes all away_. _Light_ was either by negligence or affectation changed to _sun_, which, considered without the rhyme, is indeed better. The next transcriber, finding that the word _right_ did not rhyme to _sun_, supposed it erroneously written, and left it out. II.i.27 (123,1) [Hallowmas] That is, about the feast of All-Saints, when winter begins, and the life of a vagrant becomes less comfortable. II.i.39 (123,2) [without you were so simple, none else would] None else would _be so simple_. II.i.148 (127,5) [reasoning with yourself?] That is, _discoursing, talking_. An Italianism. II.iii.22 (129,2) [I am the dog] This passage is much confused, and of confusion the present reading makes no end. Sir T. Hammer reads, _I am the dog, no, the dog is himself and I am_ me, _the dog is_ the dog, _and I am myself_. This certainly is more reasonable, but I know not how much reason the author intended to bestow on Launce's soliloquy. II.iv.57 (133,1) [not without desert] And not dignified with so much reputation without proportionate merit. II.iv.115 (134,2) [No: that you are worthless] I have inserted the particle _no_ to fill up the measure. II.iv.129 (135,4) [I have done penance for contemning love; Whose high imperious thoughts have punish'd me With bitter fasts, with penitential groans] For _whose_ I read _those_. I have contemned love and am punished. _Those_ high thoughts by which I exalted myself above human passions or frailties have brought upon me fasts and groans. II.iv.138 (136,5) [no woe to his correction] No misery that _can be compared to_ the punishment inflicted by love. Herbert called for the prayers of the liturgy a little before his death, saying, _None_ to _them_, _none_ to _them_. II.iv.152 (136,6) [a principality] The first or _principal_ of women. So the old writers use _state_. _She is a lady, a great_ state. Latymer. _This look is called in_ states _warlie, in others otherwise_. Sir T. More. II.iv.167 (137,8) [She is alone] She stands by herself. There is none to be compared to her. II.iv.207 (138,1) [with more advice] With more prudence, with more discretion. II.iv.209 (138,2) ['Tis but her picture I have yet beheld] This is evidently a slip of attention, for he had seen her in the last scene, and in high terms offered her his service. II.v.28 (139,4) [My staff understands me] This equivocation, miserable as it is, has been admitted by Milton in his great poem. B. VI.
