I.iii.179 (32,4)
All our abilities, gifts, natures, shapes,
Severals and generals of grace exact,
Atchievements, plots]
The meaning is this, All our good _grace exact_, means of _excellence
irreprehensible_.
I.iii.184 (32,5) to make paradoxes] _Paradoxes_ may have a meaning, but
it is not clear and distinct. I wish the copies had given,
--to make _parodies_.
I.iii.188 (33,6) bears his head/In such a rein] That is, holds up his
head as haughtily. We still say of a girl, _she bridles_.
I.iii.196 (33,7) How rank soever rounded in with danger] A _rank weed_
is a _high weed_. The modern editions silently read,
How _hard_ soever--
I.iii.202 (33,8) and know by measure/Of their observant toil the
enemies' weight] I think it were better to read,
--and know _the_ measure,
_By_ their observant toil, _of_ th' enemies' weight.
I.iii.220 (34,1) Achilles' arm] So the copies. Perhaps the author wrote,
--_Alcides'_ arm.
I.iii.262 (35,4) long continu'd truce] Of this long _truce_ there has
been no notice taken; in this very act it is said, that _Ajax coped
Hector yesterday in the battle_.
I.iii.270 (36,7) (With truant vows to her own lips he loves)] That is,
_confession made with idle vows to the lips of her whom he loves_.
I.iii.319 (37,1) nursery] Alluding to a plantation called a nursery.
I.iii.341 (38,4) scantling] That is, a _measure_, _proportion_.
