[Footnote 150: Fearing his love] i.e. Fearing with respect to his love.]

[Footnote 151: of] so the 4to.--The 8vo "and."]

[Footnote 152: fury] So the 4to.--The 8vo "furies."]

[Footnote 153: shone] Old eds. "shine."]

[Footnote 154: send] Old eds. "sent."]

[Footnote 160: bastones] i.e. bastinadoes.]

[Footnote 161: they] So the 8vo.--0mitted in the 4to.]

[Footnote 162: Morocco] Here the old eds. "Moroccus,"--a barbarism which I have not retained, because previously, in the stage-direction at the commencement of this act, p. 19, they agree in reading "Morocco."]

[Footnote 163: t.i.tles] So the 8vo.--The 4to "t.i.tle."]

[Footnote 164: sarell] i.e. seraglio.]

[Footnote 165: I'll] So the 8vo.--The 4to "I will."]

[Footnote 166: the] So the 8vo.--The 4to "this."]

[Footnote 167: hugy] i.e. huge.]

, p. 11.[i.e. note 52.] So the 8vo.

--The 4to "renowned."]

[Footnote 169: of] So the 8vo.--The 4to "all."]

[Footnote 170: rule] So the 8vo.--The 4to "raigne."]

[Footnote 174: them] Old eds. "thee."]

[Footnote 175: the] Has perhaps crept in by a mistake of the transcriber or printer.]

[Footnote 176: And make your strokes to wound the senseless light] The old eds. have,

"And make OUR strokes to wound the sencelesse LURE."

(the last word being, perhaps, in the 8vo "lute.") Here "light"

is a very questionable reading: qy. "air"? (though the third line above ends with that word).)]

[Footnote 177: boss] In the GENT. MAG. for Jan. 1841, J. M. proposed to alter "boss" to "Ba.s.sa." But Cotgrave, in his DICT., has; "A fat BOSSE. Femme bien gra.s.se et grosse; une coche."]

[Footnote 180: Re-enter Bajazeth, pursued by Tamburlaine] The old eds.

have,

"Bajazeth flies, and he pursues him. The battell short (Qto. is short), and they enter, Bajazeth is ouercome."

This not very intelligible stage-direction means perhaps that, after Bajazeth and Tamburlaine had entered, a short combat was to take place between them.]
