I.iii.232 (386,8) thrice-driven bed of down] A _driven_ bed, is a bed
for which the feathers are selected, by _driving_ with a fan, which
separates the light from the heavy.
I.iii.237 (337,9)
I crave fit disposition for my wife;
Due reverence of place, and exhibition]
I desire, that a proper _disposition_ be made for my wife, that she may
have _precedency_, and _revenue_, accommodation, and _company_, suitable
to her rank.
For _reference_ of place, the old quartos have _reverence_, which Hanmer
has received. I should read,
_Due_ preference _of place_.--
I.iii.246 (387,1) And let me find a charter in your voice] Let your
favour _privilege_ me.
I.iii.250 (387,2) My down-right violence and storm of fortunes] [W: to
forms, my fortunes] There is no need of this emendation. _Violence_ is
not _violence suffered_, but _violence acted_. Breach of common rules
and obligations. The old quarto has, _scorn_ of fortune, which is
perhaps the true reading.
I.iii.253 (388,3) I saw Othello's visage in his mind] It must raise no
wonder, that I loved a man of an appearance so little engaging; I saw
his face only in his mind; the greatness of his character reconciled me
to his form.
I.iii.264 (386,4)
Nor to comply with heat (the young affects,
In me defunct) and proper satisfaction]
[T: me distinct, i.e. with that heat and new affections which the
indulgence of my appetite has raised and created.
