The meaning will be,
--_since the torch is out,

Marrs what it does_.--Seel _then, and all is done_.
Close thine eyes _for ever, and be quiet_.
IV.xiv.73 (233,5) pleach'd arms] Arms folded in each other.
IV.xiv.77 (233,6) His baseness that ensued?] The poor conquered wretch
that followed.

_dignity_, the _authority_.

dialogue so distressful should be nicely regular. I have therefore

IV.xv.28 (238,2) still conclusion] Sedate determination; silent coolness
of resolution.

IV.xv.39 (239,4) Quicken with kissing] That is, _Revive by my kiss_.
IV.xv.44 (239,6) That the false huswife Fortune break her wheel] This
