[Footnote 147: much] So the 8vo.--The 4to "more."] [Footnote 148: Pierides] i.e. The daughters of Pierus, who, having challenged the Muses to a trial of song, were overcome, and changed into magpies.] [Footnote 149: the young Arabian] Scil. Alcidamus; see p. 10, l. 9, sec. col. (Page 10, Second Column, Line 9, This Play: "Where her betrothed lord, Alcidamus,")] [Footnote 150: Fearing his love] i.e. Fearing with respect to his love.] [Footnote 151: of] so the 4to.--The 8vo "and."] [Footnote 152: fury] So the 4to.--The 8vo "furies."] [Footnote 153: shone] Old eds. "shine."] [Footnote 154: send] Old eds. "sent."] [Footnote 155: menace] So the 8vo.--The 4to "meane."] [Footnote 156: fetch] So the 8vo.--The 4to "fetcht."] [Footnote 157: set] So the 8vo.--The 4to "seate."] [Footnote 158: Terrene] i.e. Mediterranean.] [Footnote 159: to rest or breathe] So the 8vo.--The 4to "to BREATH AND REST."] [Footnote 160: bastones] i.e. bastinadoes.] [Footnote 161: they] So the 8vo.--0mitted in the 4to.] [Footnote 162: Morocco] Here the old eds. "Moroccus,"--a barbarism which I have not retained, because previously, in the stage-direction at the commencement of this act, p. 19, they agree in reading "Morocco."] [Footnote 163: titles] So the 8vo.--The 4to "title."] [Footnote 164: sarell] i.e. seraglio.] [Footnote 165: I'll] So the 8vo.--The 4to "I will."] [Footnote 166: the] So the 8vo.--The 4to "this."] [Footnote 167: hugy] i.e. huge.] [Footnote 168: renowm'd] See note ||, p. 11.[i.e. note 52.] So the 8vo. --The 4to "renowned."] [Footnote 169: of] So the 8vo.--The 4to "all."] [Footnote 170: rule] So the 8vo.--The 4to "raigne."] [Footnote 171: braver] So the 8vo.--The 4to "braue."] [Footnote 172: pash] i.e. crush to pieces by a stroke.] [Footnote 173: y-sprung] Here the old eds.

(the last word being, perhaps, in the 8vo "lute.") Here "light" is a very questionable reading: qy. "air"? (though the third line above ends with that word).)] [Footnote 177: boss] In the GENT. MAG. for Jan. 1841, J. M. proposed to alter "boss" to "Bassa." But Cotgrave, in his DICT., has; "A fat BOSSE.

The battell short (Qto. is short), and they enter, Bajazeth is ouercome." This not very intelligible stage-direction means perhaps that, after Bajazeth and Tamburlaine had entered, a short combat was to take place between them.]
