I, ii, 171. _The warlike Charloyes_--Charles the Bold, the Duke of Burgundy. I, ii, 185. _Ill ayres_--noxious exhalations, miasma. I, ii, 194-5. _They are onely good men, that pay what they owe._ 2 Cred. _And so they are._ 1 Cred. _’Tis the City Doctrine._ Cf. Shakespeare in _The Merchant of Venice_, I, iii, 12 ff.: “_Shy._ Antonio is a good man. _Bass._ Have you heard any imputation to the contrary? _Shy._ Ho, no, no, no, no! My meaning in saying he is a good man is to have you understand me that he is sufficient.” I, ii, 201. _right_--so in all texts. With this word the meaning is perfectly plain, but the substitution, in its place, of _weight_ would better sustain the figure used in the preceding line. _Weight_ is a word which it is not unlikely the printer would mis-read from the Ms. as _right_. I, ii, 207. _in your danger_--regularly, “in your power”, “at your mercy”; so here, “in your debt”. I, ii, 245. _As_--used here in its demonstrative meaning, to introduce a parenthetical clause. Cf. Abbott, S. G. § 110. II, i, 13. _sits_--the common Elizabethan 3rd. person plural in _s_, generally and without warrant altered by modern editors. See Abbott, S. G. § 333. Cf. _keepes_, V, ii, 37. II, i, 28. _was--monies_ is taken in the collective sense. II, i, 46. _interd a liuely graue_--i. e., _enter’d a lively_ [_living_] _grave_. G., who first prints it so, considers he has made a change in the first word, taking it in the Q. for _interr’d_, as does M., who suggests in a footnote the reading: _enters alive the grave_. But _interd_ may be, and is best, taken as merely an old spelling for _enter’d_, naturally attracted to the _i_-form by the presence of the word _interment_ in the preceding line. II, i, 63. _Remember best, forget not gratitude_--ellipsis for: _Remember best who forget not gratitude_. Modern usage confines the omission of the relative mostly to the objective. In Eliz. Eng., however, the nominative relative was even more frequently omitted, especially when the antecedent clause was emphatic and evidently incomplete, and where the antecedent immediately preceded the verb to which the relative would be subject. See Abbott, S. G., § 244. Cf. III, i, 134-5; i, 139; i, 332; IV, ii, 61. II, i, 65. _viperous_--according to various classical authorities [e. g., Pliny, X, 82], the young of vipers eat their way forth to light through the bowels of their dam. The figure here seems to be somewhat confused, as the dead hero is the _son_ of the country, his mother, who devours _him_. The thought, perhaps, in the mind of the dramatist, albeit ill-expressed, was that the mother-country owed her existence to her son, and, viper-like had devoured the author of her life.
