IV.ii.99 (399,2) [_Vinegia. Vinegia, Chi non te vedi, ei non te pregia_] [This reading is an emendation by Theobald] The proverb, as I am informed, is this; _He that sees Venice little, values it much; he that sees it much, values it little_. But I suppose Mr. Theobald is right, for the true proverb would hot serve the speaker's purpose. IV.ii.156 (403,6) [colourable colours] That is specious, or fair seeming appearances. IV.iii.3 (403,7) [I am toiling in a pitch] Alluding to lady Rosaline's complexion, who is through the whole play represented as a black beauty. IV.iii.29 (404,8) [The night of dew, that on my cheeks down flows] I cannot think the _night of dew_ the true reading, but know not what to offer. IV.iii.47 (405,9) [he comes in like a perjure, wearing papers] The punishment of perjury is to wear on the breast a paper expressing the crime. IV.iii.74 (406,2) [the liver-vein] The liver was anciently supposed to be the seat of love. IV.iii.110 (408,5) [_Air, would I might triumph so_!] Perhaps we may better read, Ah! _would I might triumph so!_ IV.iii.117 (409,7) [ay true love's fasting pain] [W: festring] There is no need of any alteration. _Fasting_ is _longing, hungry, wanting_. IV.iii.148 (410,8) [How will he triumph, leap, and laugh at it?] [W: geap] To _leap_ is to _exult_, to skip for joy. It must stand. IV.iii.166 (410,9) [To see a king transformed to a knot!] _Knot_ has no sense that can suit this place. We may read _sot_. The rhimes in this play are such, as that _sat_ and _sot_ may be well enough admitted. IV.iii.180 (412,2) [With men like men] [W: vane-like] This is well imagined, but perhaps the poet may mean, with _men like_ common _men_. IV.iii.231 (414,3) [She (an attending star)] Something like this is a stanza of sir Henry Wotton, of which the poetical reader will forgive the insertion. _--Ye stars, the train of night, That poorly satisfy our eyes More by your number than your light: Ye common people of the skies, What are ye when the sun shall rise_. IV.iii.256 (415,6) [And beauty's crest becomes the heavens well] [W: crete] This emendation cannot be received till its authour can prove that _crete_ is an English word. Besides, _crest_ is here properly opposed to _badge_. _Black_, says the King, is the _badge of hell_, but that which graces the heaven is _the crest of_ beauty. _Black_ darkens hell, and is therefore hateful; _white_ adorns heaven, and is therefore lovely. IV.iii.290 (417,8) [affection's men at arms] _A man at arms_, is a soldier armed at all points both offensively and defensively. It is no more than, _Ye soldiers of affection_. IV.iii.313 (418,2) [Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye] i.e. a lady's eyes gives a fuller notion of beauty than any authour.
