III.i.152 (55,9) Who else must be let blood, who else is rank] Who else may be supposed to have _overtopped_ his equals, and _grown too high_ for the public safety. III.i.257 (59,3) in the tide of times] That is, in the course of times. III.i.262 (60,4) A curse shall light upon the limbs of men] Hanmer reads, --kind _of men_. I rather think it should be, --_the_ lives _of men_. unless we read, --these lymms _of men_; That is, _these bloodhounds_ of men. The uncommonness of the word _lymm_ easily made the change. III.i.273 (60,5) Cry _Havock_] A learned correspondent has informed me, that, in the military operations of old times, _havock_ was the word by which declaration was made, that no quarter should be given. In a tract intitled, _The Office of the Conestable & Mareschall in the Tyme of Werre_, contained in the Black Book of the Admiralty, there is the following chapter: "The peyne of hym that crieth _havock_ and of them that followeth hym. etit. v." "Item Si quis inventus fuerit qui clamorem inceperit qui vecatur _Havok_." "Also that no man be so hardy to crye _Havok_ upon peyne that he that is begynner shal be deede therefore: & the remanent that doo the same or folow shall lose their horse & harneis: and the persones of such as foloweth & escrien shal be under arrest of the Conestable & Mareschall warde unto tyme that they have made fyn; & founde suretie no morr to offende; & his body in prison at the Kyng wylle.--" III.ii.116 (66,8) Caesar has had great wrong] [Pope has a rather ridiculous note on this] I have inserted this note, because it is Pope's, for it is otherwise of no value. It is strange that he should so much forget the date of the copy before him, as to think it not printed in Jonson's time. (see 1765, VII, 81, 1) III.ii.126 (68,9) And none so poor] The meanest man is now too high to do reverence to Caesar. III.ii.192 (68,2) And, in his mantle muffling up his face, Even at the base of Pompey's statue, Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell. O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!] [Warburton suggested transposing the second and third of these lines] The image seems to be, that the blood of Caesar flew upon the statue, and trickled down it. And the exclamation, _O what a fall was there--_ follows better after _-great Caesar fell,_ than with a line interposed, (see 1765, VII, 64, 3) III.ii.226 (70,4) For I have neither writ] The old copy reads instead of _wit_, _For I have neither_ writ, _nor words,--_ which may mean, I have no _penned_ and premeditated oration. IV.ii.4 (77,1 Your master, Pindarus, In his own change, or by ill officers, Hath given me some worthy cause to wish Things done, undone]
