ADDITIONAL NOTES.
The last line of the Decastichon, &c. [vol. ii. 66],—
“Asperius nihil est misero quum surget in altum,”
is from Claudian,
“Asperius nihil est humili cum surgit in altum.”
In Eutrop. I. 181.
Add to note on the line,
Whome fortune and fate playnly haue discust,
vol. ii. 321.
that discust is used in the same sense by Drayton;
“Neuer did death so terrible appeare,
Since first their Armes the English learnt to weeld,
Who would see slaughter, might behold it heere
In the true shape vpon this fatall field;
In vaine was valour, and in vaine was feare,
In vaine to fight, in vaine it was to yeeld,
In vaine to fly; for destiny discust,
By their owne hands or others’ dye they must.”
The Miseries of Queene Margarite, p. 115. ed. 1627.
