[Footnote 73: slop-- i.e. wide breeches.] [Footnote 74: vile-- Old ed. "vild." See note || p. 68. [Note || from page 68 (The Second Part of Tamburlaine the Great): Vile-- The 8vo "Vild"; the 4to "Wild" (Both eds. a little before, have "VILE monster, born of some infernal hag", and, a few lines after, "To VILE and ignominious servitude":--the fact is, our early writers (or rather transcribers), with their usual inconsistency of spelling, give now the one form, and now the other: compare the folio SHAKESPEARE, 1623, where we sometimes find "vild" and sometimes "VILE.")] [Footnote 75: vestigiis nostris-- All the 4tos "vestigias nostras."] [Footnote 76: of-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 77: me-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 78: he lives-- So the later 4tos.--2to 1604 "I liue."] [Footnote 79: why-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 80: Solamen miseris, &c.-- An often-cited line of modern Latin poetry: by whom it was written I know not.] [Footnote 81: Why-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 82: torture-- So the later 4tos.--2to 1604 "tortures."] [Footnote 83: Faustus-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 84: Bill-- i.e. writing, deed.] [Footnote 85: Here's fire; come, Faustus, set it on-- This would not be intelligible without the assistance of THE HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS, the sixth chapter of which is headed,--"How Doctor Faustus set his blood in a saucer on warme ashes, and writ as followeth." Sig. B, ed. 1648.] [Footnote 86: But what is this inscription, &c.-- "He [Faustus-- tooke a small penknife and prickt a veine in his left hand; and for certainty thereupon were seen on his hand these words written, as if they had been written with blood, O HOMO, FUGE." THE HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS, Sig. B, ed. 1648.] [Footnote 87: me-- So the later 4tos.--2to 1604 "thee."] [Footnote 88: he desires-- Not in any of the four 4tos. In the tract just cited, the "3d Article" stands thus,--"That Mephostophiles should bring him any thing, and doe for him whatsoever." Sig. A 4, ed. 1648. A later ed. adds "he desired." Marlowe, no doubt, followed some edition of the HISTORY in which these words, or something equivalent to them, had been omitted by mistake. (2to 1661, which I consider as of no authority, has "he requireth.")] [Footnote 89: that, &c.-- So all the 4tos, ungrammatically.] [Footnote 90: these-- See note §, p. 80.[i.e. Note 25] : ] [Footnote 91: there-- So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.] [Footnote 92: are-- So two of the later 4tos.--2to 1604 "is."] [Footnote 93: fond-- i.e. foolish.] [Footnote 94: What! walking, disputing, &c.-- The later 4tos have "What, SLEEPING, EATING, walking, AND disputing!" But it is evident that this speech is not given correctly in any of the old eds.]
