[KING RICHARD II.]
ACT III.
Scene 2. Page 272.
K. Rich. That when the searching eye of heaven is hid
Behind the globe, and lights the lower world.
The slight but necessary emendation of and for that ascribed to Johnson, had already been made by Hanmer. Lower world simply means lower hemisphere.
Scene 2. Page 279.
K. Rich. Our lands, our lives, and all are Bolingbroke's,
And nothing can we call our own, but death.
This resembles Wolsey's speech;
"To the last penny 'tis the king's; my robe
And my integrity to heav'n, is all
I dare now call my own."
