I.iii.81 (173,1) my blessing season this in thee!] [_Season_, for _infuse_. WARBURTON.] It is more than to _infuse_, it is to infix it in such a manner as that it never may wear out. I.iii.83 (173,3) your servants tend] i.e. your servants are waiting for you. (1773) I.iii.86 (173,4) 'Tis in my memory lock'd,/And you yourself shall keep the key of it] That is, By thinking on you, I shall think on your lessons. I.iii.107 (174,6) Tender yourself mere dearly; Or (not to crack the wind of the poor phrase) Wronging it thus, you'll tender me a fool] I believe the word _wronging_ has reference, not to the phrase, but to Ophelia; if you go on _wronging it thus_, that is, _if you continue to go on thus wrong_. This is a mode of speaking perhaps not very grammatical, but very common, nor have the best writers refused it. _To sinner it or saint it_, is in Pope. And Rowe, --_Thus to_ coy it, _To one who knows you too._ The folio has it, --_roaming it thus_,-- That is, _letting yourself loose to such improper liberty_. But _wronging_ seems to be more proper. I.iii.112 (175,7) fashion you may call it] She uses _fashion_ for _manner_, and he for a _transient practice_. I.iii.122 (175,8) Set your intreatments] _Intreatments_ here means _company, conversation_, from the French _entretien_. I.iii.125 (175,9) larger tether] _Tether_ is that string by which an animal, set to graze in grounds uninclosed, is confined within the proper limits. (1773) I.iii.132 (176,2) I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth,/ Have you so slander any moment's leisure] [The humour of this is fine. WARBURTON.] Here is another _fine_ passage, of which I take the beauty to be only imaginary. Polonius says, _in plain terms_, that is, not in language less elevated or embellished than before, but _in terms that cannot be misunderstood_: _I would not have you so disgrace your most idle moments, as not to find better employment for them than lord Hamlet's conversation_. I.iv.9 (177,3) the swaggering up-spring] The blustering upstart. I.iv.17 (177,4) This heavy-headed revel, east and west] I should not have suspected this passage of ambiguity or obscurity, had I not found my opinion of it differing from that of the learned critic [Warburton]. I construe it thus, _This heavy-headed revel makes us traduced east and west, and taxed of other nations_. I.iv.22 (178,5) The pith and marrow of our attribute] The best and most valuable part of the praise that would be otherwise attributed to us. I.iv.32 (178,7) fortune's scar] In the old quarto of 1637, it is --_fortune's_ star: But I think _scar_ is proper. I.iv.34 (178,8) As infinite as man may undergo] As large as can be accumulated upon man. I.iv.39-57 (179,2) Angels and ministers of grace defend us!] Hamlet's speech to the apparition of his father seems to me to consist of three parts. When first he sees the spectre, he fortifies himself with an invocation.
