III.iv.177 (231,8) which you'll make him know] This is HANMER's reading. The common books have it, --which _will_ make him know. Mr. THEOBALD, in one of bit long notes, endeavours to prove, that it should be, --which will make him _so_. He is followed by Dr. WARBURTON. III.iv.184 (231,9) we'll even/All that good time will give us] We'll make our work _even_ with our _time_; we'll do what time will allow. III.v.71 (235,2) And that she hath all courtly parts more exquisite Than lady, ladies, woman; from every one The best she hath] [The second line is intolerable nonsense. It should be read and pointed thus, Than lady ladies; _winning_ from each one. WARBURTON.] I cannot perceive the second line to be intolerable, or to be nonsense. The speaker only rises in his ideas. _She has all courtly parts_, says he, _more exquisite than_ any _lady_, than all _ladies_, than all _womankind_. Is this nonsense? III.v.101 (236,3) _Pia._ Or this, or perish] These words, I think, belong to Cloten, who, requiring the paper, says, Let's see't: I will pursue her Even to Augustus' throne. Or this, or perish. Then Pisanio giving the paper, says to himself, She's far enough, &c. III.vi.12 (239,1) To lapse in fullness/Is sorer, than to lye for need] Is a _greater_, or _heavier_ crime. III.vi.23 (239,3) If any thing that's civil, speak; if savage,/Take, or lend] [W: Take 'or 't end.] I suppose the emendation proposed will not easily be received; it is strained and obscure, and the objection against Hanmer's reading is likewise very strong. I question whether, after the words, _if savage_, a line be not lost. I can offer nothing better than to read, --Ho! who's here? If any thing that's civil, _take or lend_, If savage, _speak_. If you are _civilised_ and _peaceable, take_ a price for what I want, or _lend_ it for a future recompence; if you are _rough inhospitable_ inhabitants of the mountain, _speak_, that I may know my state. III.vi.77 (242,4) then had my prize/Been less; and so more equal ballasting] HANMER reads plausibly, but without necessity, _price_, for _prize_, and _balancing_, for _ballasting_. He is followed by Dr. WARBURTON. The meaning is, Had I been a less prize, I should not have been too heavy for Posthumus. III.vi.86 (243,5) That nothing-gift of differing multitudes] [T: deferring] He is followed by Sir T. HANMER and Dr. WARBURTON; but I do not see why _differing_ may not be a general epithet, and the expression equivalent to the _many-headed_ rabble. III.vii.8 (244,2) and to you, the tribunes, For this immediate levy, he commands His absolute commission] The plain meaning is, he _commands_ the commission to be given to you. So we say, I _ordered_ the materials to the workmen. IV.ii.10 (245,1) Stick to your journal course: the breach of custom/ Is breach of all] Keep your _daily_ course uninterrupted; if the stated plan of life is once broken, nothing follows but confusion.
