II.v.115 (161,9) Let him for ever go] She is now talking in broken
sentences, not of the messenger, but Antony.
II.vi.24 (163,2) Thou canst not fear us] Thou canst not affright us with
thy numerous navy.
II.vi.28 (163,3) But since the cuckow builds not for himself] Since,

meaning, is here used for the _foot_, from the Latin.
II.vii.14 (167,9) a partizan] A pike.
II.vii.16 (167,1) To be call'd into a huge sphere, and not to be seen to
move in't, are the holes where eyes should be, which pitifully disaster
the cheeks] This speech seems to be mutilated; to supply the
deficiencies is impossible, but perhaps the sense was originally

be, which_, if eyes be wanting, _pitifully disaster the cheeks_.
