[611] "Unless we understand this in the sense of--say I receive no reward (--and in Fletcher's _Woman-Hater_, 'merit' means--derive profit, B. and F.'s _Works_, i. 91, ed. Dyce,--), it is a wrong translation of 'mihi si merces erepta laborum est.'"--_Dyce_. [612] "Sicilia" should be "Cilicia." [613] A free translation of the frigid original-- "Arma tenenti Omnia dat qui justa negat." [614] Old ed. "Lalius." [615] Old ed. "_Articks_ Rhene." ("Rhene" is the old form of "Rhine.") [616] So old ed. Dyce's correction "or groaning woman's womb" seems hardly necessary. (The original has "plenaeque in viscera partu conjugis.") [617] "Numina miscebit castrensis flamma _Monetae_." [618] Old ed. "bowde." [619] Fetches. [620] The original has-- "Castraque quae, Vogesi curvam super ardua rupem, Pugnaces pictis cohibebant _Lingonas_ armis." Dyce conjectures that Marlowe's copy read _Lingones_. [621] Old ed. "bloats." [622] "Tunc rura Nemossi Qui tenet et ripas Aturi." [623] Marlowe seems to have read here very ridiculously, "gaudetque amato [instead of amoto] Santonus hoste."--_Dyce_. [624] Marlowe has converted the name of a tribe into that of a country. [625] The approved reading is "longisque leves _Suessones_ in armis." [626] "Optimus excusso _Leucus Rhemusque_ lacerto." [627] "Et qui te _laxis_ imitantur, Sarmata, _bracchis_ Vangiones." Marlowe has mistaken "Sarmata," a _Sarmatian_, for the country _Sarmatia_. [628] The old ed. gives "fell Mercury (Joue)," and in the next line "where it seems." "Jove" written, as a correction, in the MS. above "it" was supposed by the printer to belong to the previous line. [629] The original has-- "Hunc inter Rhenum populos Alpesque jacentes, / Finibus Arctois patriaque a sede revulsos, / Pone sequi."/ ("Populos" is the subject and "Hunc" the object of "sequi." For "Hunc" the best editions give "Tunc.") [630] "Parts" must be pronounced as a dissyllable. [631] "Praecipitem populum." [632] "Serieque haerentia longa / Agmina prorumpunt." [633] "Urbem populis, _victisque_ frequentem Gentibus."--Old ed. "captaines." [634] "Fulgura _fallaci_ micuerunt crebra sereno." [635] The original has, "_jugis_ nutantibus." Dyce reads "tops,"--an emendation against which Cunningham loudly protests. "Laps" is certainly more emphatic. [636] The line is imperfect. We should have expected "_at night_ wild beasts were seen" ("silvisque feras _sub nocte_ relictis"). [637] Old ed. "Sibils." [638] Shrieked. [639] "Gelidas _Anienis_ ad undas." [640] "Or LunÊ"--marginal note in old ed. [641] The original has "rapi." [642] Old ed. "wash'd." [643] Portendeth. [644] Here Marlowe quite deserts the original-- "pars Êgra et marcida pendet, _Pars micat, et celeri venas movet improba pulsu_." [645] "Numerisque moventibus astra."--The word "planeting" was, I suppose, coined by Marlowe. I have never met it elsewhere.
