II.iii.348 (425,5) free elements] Liberal, bountiful, as the elements,
out of which all things are produced.
II.iii.355 (425,6) to this parallel course] i.e. a course level, and
even with his design.
II.iii.363 (425,8) That she repeals him] That is, recalls him.
II.iii.382 (426,1)
Though ether things grew fair against the sun,
Yet fruits, that blossom first, will first be ripe]
Of many different things, all planned with the same art, and promoted
with the same diligence, some must succeed sooner than others, by the
order of nature. Every thing cannot be done at once; we must proceed by
the necessary gradation. We are not to _despair_ of slow events any
_more_ than of tardy fruits, while the causes are in regular progress,
and the fruits _grow fair against the sun_. Hanmer has not, I think,
rightly conceived the sentiment; for he reads,
_Those fruits which blossom first_, are not first _ripe_.
I have therefore drawn it out at length, for there are few to whom that
will be easy which was difficult to Hanmer.
III.i.3 (427,2) Why, masters, have your instruments been in Naples, that
they speak i' the nose thus?] The venereal disease first appeared at the
siege of Naples.
III.iii.14 (430,6)
That policy may either last so long,
Or feed upon such nice and waterish diet,
Or breed itself so out of circumstance,
That I, being absent, and my place supplied,
My general will forget my love and service]
He may either of himself think it politic to keep me out of office so
long, or he may be satisfied with such slight reasons, or so many
accidents may make him think my re-admission at that time improper, that
I may be quite forgotten.
