So _Macbeth_,
"We'd _jump_ the life to come." (see 1765, VII, 382, 7)
V.v.9 (288,1) one that promis'd nought/But beggary and poor looks] To
promise _nothing but_ poor _looks_, may be, to give no promise of
courageous behaviour.
V.v.88 (291,2) So feat] So ready; so dextrous in waiting.
V.v.93 (291,3) His favour is familiar to me] I am acquainted with his
countenance.
V.v.120 (292,4) One sand another/Not more resembles. That sweet rosy
lad] [W: resembles, than be th' sweet] There was no great difficulty in
the line, which, when properly pointed, needs no alteration.
V.v.203 (296,8) averring notes/Of chamber-hanging, pictures] Such marks
of the chamber and pictures, as _averred_ or confirmed my report.
V.v.220 (297,9) the temple/Of virtue was she; yea, and she herself] That

_Staggers_ is the horse's apoplexy.
V.v.262 (298,2) Think, that you are upon a rock; and now/Throw me again]
In this speech, or in the answer, there is little meaning. I suppose,

precipitation from a rock, and now let me see whether you will repeat
it.
V.v.308 (300,3) By tasting of our wrath] [W: hasting] There is no need
