III.iv.149 (230,5) full of view] With opportunities of examining your affairs with your own eyes.

III.iv.155 (230,6) Though peril to my modesty, not death on’t,/I would adventure] I read,

  Through peril—­

I would for such means adventure through peril of my modesty; I would risque every thing but real dishonour.

III.iv.162 (230,7)

nay, you must Forget that rarest treasure of your cheek; Exposing it (but, oh, the harder heart!  Alack, no remedy)]

I think it very natural to reflect in this distress on the cruelty of Posthumus.  Dr. WARBURTON proposes to read,

  —­the harder hap!—­

III.iv.177 (231,8) which you’ll make him know] This is HANMER’s reading.  The common books have it,

  —­which will make him know.

Mr. THEOBALD, in one of bit long notes, endeavours to prove, that it should be,

  —­which will make him so.

He is followed by Dr. WARBURTON.

III.iv.184 (231,9) we’ll even/All that good time will give us] We’ll make our work even with our time; we’ll do what time will allow.

III.v.71 (235,2)

  And that she hath all courtly parts more exquisite
  Than lady, ladies, woman; from every one
  The best she hath]

[The second line is intolerable nonsense.  It should be read and pointed thus,

  Than lady ladies; winning from each one.

WARBURTON.]

I cannot perceive the second line to be intolerable, or to be nonsense.  The speaker only rises in his ideas. She has all courtly parts, says he, more exquisite than any lady, than all ladies, than all womankind.  Is this nonsense?

III.v.101 (236,3) Pia. Or this, or perish] These words, I think, belong to Cloten, who, requiring the paper, says,

  Let’s see’t:  I will pursue her
  Even to Augustus’ throne.  Or this, or perish.

Then Pisanio giving the paper, says to himself,

  She’s far enough, &c.

III.vi.12 (239,1) To lapse in fullness/Is sorer, than to lye for need] Is a greater, or heavier crime.

III.vi.23 (239,3) If any thing that’s civil, speak; if savage,/Take, or lend] [W:  Take ’or ’t end.] I suppose the emendation proposed will not easily be received; it is strained and obscure, and the objection against Hanmer’s reading is likewise very strong.  I question whether, after the words, if savage, a line be not lost.  I can offer nothing better than to read,

  —­Ho! who’s here? 
  If any thing that’s civil, take or lend,
  If savage, speak.

If you are civilised and peaceable, take a price for what I want, or lend it for a future recompence; if you are rough inhospitable inhabitants of the mountain, speak, that I may know my state.
