V.iii.129 (478,1) Behold, it is the privilege of mine honours,/My oath,
and my profession] The _privilege_ of this _oath_ means the privilege
gained by taking the oath administered in the regular initiation of a

first edition in the foregoing scene.
V.iii.264 (485,7)
_Edg._ Or image of that horror?
_Alb._ Fall, and cease!]

animate the dialogue, and employ all the persons on the stage; but they
are very obscure.
V.iii.301 (487,4) With boot] With advantage, with increase.
(488) General Observation. The tragedy of Lear is deservedly celebrated
among the dramas of Shakespeare.
