III.xiii.42 (202,6) The loyalty, well held to fools, does make/Our faith meer folly] [T: Though loyalty, well held] I have preserved the old reading: Enobarbus is deliberating upon desertion, and finding it is more prudent to forsake a fool, and more reputable to be faithful to him, makes no positive conclusion. Sir T. Hanmer follows Theobald; Dr. Warburton retains the old reading. III.xiii.77 (204,9) Tell him, from his all-obeying breath I hear/The doom of Aegypt] _Doom_ is declared rather by an _all-commanding_, than an _all-obeying breath_. I suppose we ought to read, --_all_-obeyed breath. III.xiii.81 (205,1) Give me grace] Grant me the favour. III.xiii.109 (206,3) By one that looks on feeders?] One that waits at the table while others are eating. III.xiii.128 (207,4) The horned herd] It is not without pity and indignation that the reader of this great poet meets so often with this low jest, which is too much a favourite to be left out of either mirth or fury. III.xiii.151 (208,5) to quit me] To repay me this insult; to _requite_ me. III.xiii.180 (209,9) Were nice and lucky] [_Nice_, for delicate, courtly, flowing in peace. WARBURTON.] _Nice_ rather seems to be, _just fit for my purpose, agreeable to my wish_. So we vulgarly say of any thing that is done better than was expected, it is _nice_. IV.i.5 (210,1) I have many other ways to die] [Upton: He hath.../I laugh] I think this emendation deserves to be received. It had, before Mr. Upton's book appeared, been made by sir T. Hanmer. IV.i.9 (211,2) Make boot of] Take advantage of. IV.ii.8 (212,3) _take all_] Let the survivor take all. No composition, victory or death. IV.ii.14 (212,4) one of those odd tricks] I know not what obscurity the editors find in this passage. _Trick_ is here used in the sense in which it is uttered every day by every mouth, elegant and vulgar: yet sir T. Hanmer changes it to _freaks_, and Dr. Warburton, in his rage of Gallicism, to _traits_. IV.ii.26 (213,5) Haply, you shall not see me more; or if,/A mangled shadow] _Or if_ you see me more, you will see me _a mangled shadow_, only the external form of what I was. IV.ii.35 (213,6) onion-ey'd] I have my eyes as full of tears as if they had been fretted by onions. IV.iv.3 (215,8) Come, good fellow, put thine iron on] I think it should be rather, --mine _iron_-- IV.iv.5 (215,9) Nay, I'll help too] These three little speeches, which in the other editions are only one, and given to Cleopatra, were happily disentangled by sir T. Hanmer. IV.iv.10 (215,1) Briefly, sir] That is, _quickly_, sir. IV.v.17 (218,3) Dispatch. Enobarbus!] Thus [_Dispatch, my Eros_] the modern editors. The old edition reads, --_Dispatch Enobarbus_. Perhaps, it should be, --_Dispatch! To Enobarbus!_ (see 1765, VII, 208, 3) IV.vi.12 (219,6) persuade] The old copy has _dissuade_, perhaps rightly. IV.vi.34 (219,7) This blows my heart] All the latter editions have, --_This_ bows _my heart_;
