[506] Far-fetched. There was a common proverb "_far-fet_ and dear-bought is good for ladies."--Old ed. "_far fet to_ the sea." [507] Old ed. "for." [508] The father of Anchises. [509] Old ed. "descend" (which Dyce and Cunningham strangely retain). [510] Scene: before the cave. [511] The line is unrhythmical and corrupt. Qy. "That can _call forth the winds_"? [512] Old ed. "Tiphous." [513] Still, hushed. [514] Old ed. "eares." [515] Scene: a room in Iarbas' house. [516] The epithet "gloomy," here and in l. _2_, contrasts oddly with "_Father of gladness and all frolic thoughts_." [517] Elissa (Dido). [518] Scene: a room in Dido's palace. [519] Old ed. "the." [520] Cf. Faustus, scene xiv.--"And burnt the _topless_ towers of Ilium." [521] Old ed. "beames,"--a mistake, as Dyce observed, for "reames" (a common form of "realms)." [522] Old ed. "my." [523] "Coll" = cling round the neck. [524] Scene: a room in Dido's palace. [525] Old ed. "Circes." [526] It is related in the fifth book of the Iliad how Aphrodite shrouded Æneas in a cloud when he was hard-pressed by Diomed.--Old ed. "fleest." [527] Old ed. "Heavens." [528] Desire, order. [529] Old ed. "loues." [530] Cf. _Faustus_.-- "Sweet Helen, make me _immortal with a kiss_." [531] Intrigued. [532] Old ed. "he." [533] Float. [534] Lat. _lympha_ is the same word as _Nympha_. [535] Scene: the open country near Carthage. [536] The reader will be reminded of Juliet's Nurse. [537] Wencher. [538] Scene; a room in Dido's palace. [539] Plan. [540] Old ed. "honeys spoyles." [541] Old ed. "her." In the _Athenæum_ for 10th May 1884, Dr. Karl Elze makes the plausible emendation, "And _scent_ our pleasant suburbs with _perfumes_." [542] Rudder. Cf. 1 _Henry VI._ i. 1:-- "The king from Eltham I intend to send, And sit at chiefest _stern_ of public weal." [543] At l. 50 the stage-direction was "Exit _Sergestus_ with Ascanius." [544] Plan. [545] Requite. [546] A word which it is not easy to supply has been omitted. Dyce's "farewell [none]" and Cunninghan's "Let me go _is_ farewell" are equally unsatisfactory. [547] Old ed. "chaunged." [548] Old ed. "my" [549] Cf. 1 _Tamburlaine_, v. 1. l. 21. [550] Virgil, _Æn._ iv. 317. [551] Old ed. "ad hæc." [552] Virgil, _Æn_. iv. 360. [553] Cf. Virgil, _Æn_. iv. 365-7:-- "Nec tibi diva parens, generis nec Dardanus auctor, Perfide; sed duris genuit te cautibus horrens Caucasus, Hycanæque admorunt ubera tigres." [554] Old ed. "abdurate." [555] Old ed. "keend." If "kenned" is the right reading, we must suppose the meaning to be "too clearly perceived." [556] I have repeated "Anna" for the sake of the metre. Cf. l. 241. [557] Old ed. "Orions." [558] Dyce's correction "'em" seems unnecessary. [559] Dearest. Cf. _2 Henry VI._ iii. 1:-- "And with your best endeavours have stirred up My _liefest_ liege to be mine enemy." [560] Old ed. "thy."
