[533] Float.
[534] Lat. _lympha_ is the same word as _Nympha_.
[535] Scene: the open country near Carthage.
[536] The reader will be reminded of Juliet's Nurse.
[537] Wencher.
[538] Scene; a room in Dido's palace.
[539] Plan.
[540] Old ed. "honeys spoyles."
[541] Old ed. "her." In the _Athenaeum_ for 10th May 1884, Dr. Karl Elze makes the plausible emendation, "And _scent_ our pleasant suburbs with _perfumes_."
[542] Rudder. Cf. 1 _Henry VI._ i. 1:--
"The king from Eltham I intend to send, And sit at chiefest _stern_ of public weal."
[543] At l. 50 the stage-direction was "Exit _Sergestus_ with Ascanius."
[544] Plan.
[545] Requite.
[546] A word which it is not easy to supply has been omitted. Dyce's "farewell [none]" and Cunninghan's "Let me go _is_ farewell" are equally unsatisfactory.
[547] Old ed. "chaunged."
[548] Old ed. "my"
[549] Cf. 1 _Tamburlaine_, v. 1. l. 21.
[550] Virgil, _aen._ iv. 317.
[551] Old ed. "ad haec."
[552] Virgil, _aen_. iv. 360.
[553] Cf. Virgil, _aen_. iv. 365-7:--
"Nec tibi diva parens, generis nec Darda.n.u.s auctor, Perfide; sed duris genuit te cautibus horrens Caucasus, Hycanaeque admorunt ubera tigres."
[554] Old ed. "abdurate."
[555] Old ed. "keend." If "kenned" is the right reading, we must suppose the meaning to be "too clearly perceived."
[556] I have repeated "Anna" for the sake of the metre. Cf. l. 241.
[557] Old ed. "Orions."
[558] Dyce's correction "'em" seems unnecessary.
[559] Dearest. Cf. _2 Henry VI._ iii. 1:--
"And with your best endeavours have stirred up My _liefest_ liege to be mine enemy."
[560] Old ed. "thy."
[561] "Daughter" is nonsense. Should we read "Guardian to" (or "unto")?
Cf. Virg., _aen._ iv. 484:--
"Hesperidum templi _custos_."
[562] Here and in l. 298 Dyce needlessly reads "lies."
[563] Virg., _aen._ iv. 628.
[564] The best editions of Virgil read "_ipsique nepotesque_."
[565] Virg., _aen_. iv. 660.
[566] Preys.
[567] Avail.
