I.ii.125 (162,4) No jocund health] The king's intemperance is very strongly impressed; every thing that happens to him gives him occasion to drink. I.ii.163 (164,9) I'll change that name] I'll be your servant, you shall be my friend. (1773) I.ii.164 (164,1) what make you] A familiar phrase for _what are you doing_. I.ii.167 (164,2) good Even, Sir] So the copies. Sir Th. Hanmer and Dr. Warburton put it, _good morning_. The alteration is of no importance, but all licence is dangerous. There is no need of any change. Between the first and eighth scene of this act it is apparent, that a natural day must pass, and how much of it is already over, there is nothing that can determine. The king has held a council. It may now as well be _evening_ as _morning_. I.ii.182 (165,3) 'Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven] _Dearest_, for _direst_, most dreadful, most dangerous. I.ii.192 (165,5) Season your admiration] That is, _temper_ it. I.ii.204 (166,6) they, distill'd/Almost to jelly with the act of fear,/Stand dumb] [W: th' effect of] Here is an affectation of subtilty without accuracy. _Fear_ is every day considered as an _agent_. _Fear laid hold on him; fear drove him away_. If it were proper to be rigorous in examining trifles, it might be replied, that Shakespeare would write more erroneously, if he wrote by the direction of this critick; they were not _distilled_, whatever the word may mean, _by the effect of fear_; for that _distillation_ was itself the _effect_; _fear_ was the cause, the active cause, that _distilled_ them by that force of operation which we strictly call _act_ involuntary, and _power_ in involuntary agents, but popularly call _act_ in both. But of this too much. I.iii.15 (169,9) The virtue of his will] _Virtue_ seems here to comprise both _excellence_ and _power_, and may be explained the _pure effect_. I.iii.21 (169,1) The sanity and health of the whole state] [W: safety] HANMER reads very rightly, _sanity_. _Sanctity_ is elsewhere printed for _sanity_, in the old edition of this play. I.iii.32 (170,2) unmaster'd] i.e. _licentious_. (1773) I.iii.34 (170,3) keep you in the rear of your affection] That is, do not advance so far as your affection would lead you. I.iii.49 (170,4) Whilst, like a puft and reckless libertine] [W: Whilest he] The emendation is not amiss, but the reason for it is very inconclusive; we use the same mode of speaking on many occasions. When I say of one, _he squanders like a spendthrift_, of another, _he robbed me like a thief_, the phrase produces no ambiguity; it is understood that the one is a _spendthrift_, and the other a _thief_. I.iii.64 (172,7) But do not dull thy palm with entertainment/Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade] The literal sense is, _Do not make thy palm callous by shaking every man by the hand_. The figurative meaning may be, _Do not by promiscuous conversation make thy mind insensible to the difference of characters_.
