I love you beyond limits, and cannot say it is _so
much_, for how much soever I should name, it would yet be more.
I.i.73 (315,4)
I find, she names my very deed of love,
Only she comes too short; that I profess]
_That_ seems to stand without relation, but is referred to _find_, the
first conjunction being inaccurately suppressed. I find _that_ she names
my deed, I find that I profess, &c.
I.i.76 (315,5) Which the most precious square of sense possesses]
[Warburton explained "square" as the "four nobler senses"] This is
acute; but perhaps _square_ means only _compass, comprehension_.
I.i.80 (315,6) More pond'rous than my tongue] [W: their tongue] I think
the present reading right.
I.i.84 (316,8) Now our joy] Here the true reading is picked out of two
copies. Butter's quarto reads,
--_But_ now our joy,
Although the last, not least in our dear love,
What can you say to win a third, &c.
The folio,
--Now our joy,
Although our last, _and_ least; to whose young love
The vines of France, and milk of Burgundy,
Strive to be int'ress'd. _What can you say?_
I.i.138 (318,5) The sway, revenue, execution of the rest] [W: of th'
hest] I do not see any great difficulty in the words, _execution of the
rest_, which are in both the old copies. The _execution of the rest_ is,
I suppose, _all the other business_. Dr. Warburton's own explanation of
his amendment confutes it; if _hest_ be a _regal comnand_, they were, by
the grant of Lear, to have rather the _hest_ than the execution.
