APPEND I X. This your fon-in-law, "And fon unto the king, (whom heavens directing,) "Is troth-plight to your daughter." Again, in Coriolanus: waving thy hand; "Which often, thus, correcting thy flout heart, "That will not hold the handling; or, say to them,” &c. See Vol. IV. p. 257, n. 1. and p. 488, n.*; and Vol. VII. p. 239, n. 5. MALONE. Ibidem. n. 4. 1. 12.] For deck, r. leck.-Add at the end of my note.-In Cole's Latin Dictionary, 1679, we find-" To dag, collutulo, irroro. MALONE. P. 16.-to ride On the curl'd clouds ;] So, in Isaiah, xix. 1. Lord rideth on the swift cloud." MALONE. "The Ibidem. n. 7.] So alfo De Loier, fpeaking of " ftrange fights happening in the feas," Treatife of Spectres, 4to. 1605, p. 67, b: "Sometimes they fhall fee the fire which the faylors call Saint Hermes, to fly uppon their fhippe, and to alight upon the toppe of the maft; and sometimes they fhall perceive a wind that ftirreth fuch stormes as will run round about their shippe, and play about it in such fort, as by the hurling and beating of the clowdes will rayfe uppe a fire that will burne uppe the yardes, the fayles, and the tacklings of the hippe." MALONE. P. 17. and quit the veffel,] Quit is, I think, here ufed for quitted. So, in K. Lear: 'Twas he inform'd against him, "And quit the houfe on purpofe, that their punishment So, in King Henry VI. P. I. lift, for lifted: "He ne'er lift up his hand, but conquered." MALONE. Ibidem. On their fuftaining garments, &c.] The word sustaining in this place does not mean fupporting, but enduring; and by their fuftaining garments Ariel means, their garments which bore, without being injured, the drenching of the fea. MASON. Perhaps fuftaining is here used for fuftained. So, in Antony and Cleopatra, all-obeying, for all-obeyed. Mr. Mafon's interpretation, however, may be the true one; and the word fuftaining may alfo have been used for fuffering, in the paffage quoted from King Lear. Their garments could not be called fuftaining, in the fenfe which Mr. Steevens attributes to the VOL. X. N n word, 1 word, for it is well known that the clothes of a perfon who has fallen into the fea, when they become thoroughly wet, instead of fuftaining him, render him lefs able to keep himfelf from finking. MALONE. P. 20. to tread the ooze Of the falt deep;— To do me bulinefs in the veins of the "earth,] [So Milton, Par. Loft: "Or do his errands in the gloomy deep." P. 22. Come, thou tortoife! when?] This expreffion of impatience occurs often in our old dramas. See Vol. V. p. 9, n. 8, and Vol. VII. p. 330, n. 5. MALONE. P. 22. We cannot mifs him.] That is, as Mr. Mafon has obferved, We cannot do without him. This provincial expreffion is ftill used in the midland counties. MALONE. P. 24. Which any print of goodness will not take, Being capable of all ill!] So, in Harrington's tran Aation of Orlando Furiofo, 1591: "The cruel Effelyno, that was thought "To have been gotten by fome wicked devil, "But fold his foule to fin and doing evil." MALONE. P. 25. 1. 4.] For vild, r. vile, and dele my note. Wildin the old copy is merely the ancient mode of fpelling vile, and therefore, as modern orthography has been obferved in all other places, it ought also to be followed here. MALONE. Ibidem. The red plague rid you !] To follow Mr. Steevens's note. So again, in Coriolanus: "Now the red peftilence ftrike all trades in Rome !” The word rid, which has not been explained, means to Aroy. So, in K. Henry VI. P. II. -If you ever chance to have a child, "Look, in his youth, to have him so cut off, "As, deathfmen! you have rid this fweet young prince." P.26. Court'fied when you have, and kifs'd,] The lady's hand only was kifs'd, as it fhould feem, previous to the dance. See Winwood's Memorials, Vol. II. p. 44: "at this he was taken out to dance, and footed it like a lufty old gallant with his country-woman. He took out the queen, and for. got not to kiss ber hand." MALONE. Ibidem. Where fould this mufick be? i'the air, or the earth ?] So, ง A A 1 547 APPENDIX. So, Milton, in his Il Penferofo: "And, as I walk, fweet mufick, breathe, "Above, about, or underneath!" MALONE. Ibidem, n. 3. 1. 4.] After " our author's word," addagen, A. S. fignifies both adverfus and iterum. In Julius Cafar we find againft ufed in the firft of thefe fenfes : "Against the capitol I met a lion,-," Lydgate in his Troie boke, defcribing Priam's palace, uses again in the fense of against: "And even agayne this kynges royal fee, "In brede and length a full rich aultere." MALONE. Again, in Lily's Maydes Metamorphoses, 1600: "Well met, fair nymph, or goddesse if ye be." Add at the end: I have faid" that nothing is more common in these plays than a word being used in reply in a fenfe different from that in which it was employed by the first speaker." Here follow my proofs. In As you like it, Orlando, being asked by his brother, "Now, fir, what make you here?" [i. e. What do you do here?] replies, "Nothing; I am not taught to make any thing." So, in K. Henry VI. P. III, 66 -Henceforward will I bear "Upon my target three fair fhining funs. "Rich. Nay, bear three daughters." Again, in K. Henry IV. P. II. Ch. Juft. Your means are very flender, and your wafie great. "Fal. I would it were otherwise; I would my means were greater, and my waist lenderer." Again, in K. Richard III. "With this, my lord, myself hath nought to do. MALONE P. 31. n. 2.] We have the fame thought in Lily's Euphues, 580: "Then how vain is it, that the foot fhould neglect his office, to correct the face." MALONE. P. 33. n. *.] Claribel is also the miftrefs of Phaon in Spenfer's Faery Queen, B. II. c. iv. MALONE. P. 34.] How lush and luffy the grafs looks, how green!] The word lush has not yet been rightly interpreted. It appears from the following paffage in Golding's tranflation of Óvid, 1587, to have signified juicy, fucculent : N n 2 "What? "What? feeft thou not, how that the year, as reprefent ing plaine "The age of man, departes himself in quarters foure: firft, baine* "And tender in the fpring it is, even like a fucking babe, "Then greene and void of strength, and lub and foggy is the blade; "And cheers the husbandman with hope." Ovid's lines (Met. XV.) are these : Quid? non in fpecies fuccedere quattuor annum Spenfer in his Shepheard's Calender, (Feb.) applies the epithet lufty to green: "With leaves engrain'd in luftie green." MALONE.

P. 50. n. 9.] Add to my note.-Thefe words, however, may mean, (as Mr. Mafon has obferved,) "I will not take for him even more than he is worth." MALONE. P. 53. n. 1.] Dele Dr. Grey's note, and fubftitute the following. This is a common expreffion, to denote profound obeisance. So, in Timon of Athens: "Follow his ftrides, his lobbies fill with tendance,- Again, in Titus Andronicus: "When you come to him, [the emperor,] at the first approach, you must kneel, then kifs bis foot, then deliver your pigeons." MALONE. Ibidem, n. 2.] Add to my note With respect to the place from which Caliban says he will fetch these young fea-mels, or fea-mews, Shakspeare might have learned from Pliny's Natural Hiftory, 1600, (a book that he is known to have looked into,) "As touching the gulls or fea-cobs, they build in rockes." p. 287. MALONE. i. e. limber, flexible. P. 54. 'Ban, 'Ban, Ca-Caliban,] Perhaps our author remembered a fong of Sir P. Sidney's: "Da, da, da-Daridan." Aftrophel and Stella, fol. 1627. MALONE. P. 55. n. 4.] In like manner in Coriolanus, A& IV. the "I am a Roman, and (i. e. fame change was made by him. and yet) my fervices are, as you are, against them." Mr. Pope reads " I am a Roman, but my services," &c. MALONE. P. 57. The flesh-fly blow my mouth'] i. e. fwell and inflame my mouth. So, in Antony and Cleopatra : "Here is a vent of blood, and something blown.” Again, ibidem: and let the water-flies "Blow me into abhorring." MALONE. Ibidem than I would fuffer-] I have here, with all the modern editors, incautioully adopted an emendation made by Mr. Pope. But the reading of the old copy-than to sufferis right, however ungrammatical. So, in All's well that ends well: "No more of this, Helena, go to, no more; left it be rather thought you affect a forrow, than to have." MALONE. P. 66. n. 5.] Our poet had probably Lily's Euphues, and bis England, particularly in his thoughts: fignat. Q. 3."As there is but one phoenix in the world, fo is there but one tree in Arabia wherein the buildeth." See alfo Florio's Italian Dictionary, 1598: “ Rafin, a tree in Arabia,.whereof there is but one found, and upon it the phoenix fits." In 1. 1. of this note, for phar' thronex, r. phænix' throne. The letters were shuffled out of their places at the prefs. MALONE. P. 69. n. 7. 1. 3.] for 1670, г. 1679. P. 71. n. 3.] Add to Mr. Steevens's note.-So in the celebrated libel called Leicefter's Commonwealth: "I heard him once my felfe in publique act at Oxford, and that in presence of my lord of Leicester, maintain that poyson might be fo tempered and given, as it should not appear presently, and yet fhould kill the party afterwards at what time should be appointed." Ibidem, n. 5. 1. 5. from the bottom.] For 1529, г. 1540. P. 78. With your fedg'd crowns, and ever-harmless looks,] So, in Golding's Tranflation of Ovid's Metamorph. B. IX. 1587: "The noble stream of Calydon made anfwere, who did weare "A garland made of reedes and flagges upon his fedgy heare." MALONE. Nn 3 P. 79. |
