and make them _shew like enemies_. I read _shew_, not _shewed, like
enemies_. IV.vi.124 (414,8) They'll roar him in again] As they _hooted_ at his departure, they will _roar_ at his return; as he went out with scoffs, he will come back with lamentations. IV.vii.37 (417,1) whether pride, Which out of daily fortune ever taints The happy man; whether] Ausidius assigns three probable reasons of the miscarriage of Coriolanus; pride, which easily follows an uninterrupted train of success; unskilfulness to regulate the consequences of his own victories; a stubborn uniformity of nature, which could not make the proper transition from the _casque_ or _helmet_ to the _cushion_ or _chair of civil authority_; but acted with the same despotism in peace as in war. IV.vii.48 (418,2) he has a merit,/To choak it in the utterance] He has a merit, for no other purpose than to destroy it by boasting it. IV.vii.55 (418,4) Right's by right fouler] [W: fouled] I believe _rights_, like _strengths_, is a plural noon. I read, _Rights by rights_ founder, _strengths by strengths do fail_. That is, by the exertion of one right another right is lamed. |
