"A form not meet to give that SUBJECT essence
Whose matter is the flesh of Tamburlaine," &c.]
[Footnote 313: into] So the 8vo.--The 4to "vnto."]
[Footnote 314: your seeds] So the 8vo.--The 4to "OUR seedes." (In p. 18,
first col., [The First Part of Tamburlaine the Great] we have
had "Their angry SEEDS"; but in p. 47, first col., [this play]
"thy seed":--and Marlowe probably wrote "seed" both here and in
p. 18.)]
[Footnote 315: lineaments] So the 8vo.--The 4to "laments."--The Editor
of 1826 remarks, that this passage "is too obscure for ordinary
comprehension."]
[Footnote 316: these] So the 4to.--The 8vo "those."]
[Footnote 317: these] So the 4to.--The 8vo "those."]
[Footnote 318: damned] i.e. doomed,--sorrowful.]
[Footnote 319: Clymene's] So the 8vo.--The 4to "Clymeus."]
[Footnote 320: Phoebe's] So the 8vo.--The 4to "Phoebus."]
[Footnote 321: Phyteus'] Meant perhaps for "Pythius'", according to the
usage of much earlier poets:
"And of PHYTON[i.e. Python] that Phebus made thus fine
Came Phetonysses," &c.
Lydgate's WARRES OF TROY, B. ii. SIG. K vi. ed.
1555.]
Here the modern editors print "Phoebus'".]
[Footnote 322: thee] So the 8vo.--The 4to "me."]
[Footnote 323: cliffs] Here the old eds. "clifts" and "cliftes":
but see p. 12, line 5, first col.
[p. 12, first col. (The First Part of Tamburlaine the
Great):
"Both we will walk upon the lofty cliffs;*
* cliffs: So the 8vo.--The 4to "cliftes."]
