I.ii.4 (12,1) Hector, whose patience/Is, as a virtue, fix'd] [W: Is as the] I think the present text may stand. Hector's patience was as a virtue, not variable and accidental, but fixed and constant. If I would alter it, it should be thus:
—Hector, whose patience
Is ALL a virtue fix'd,—
All, in old English, is the intensive or enforcing particle.
I.ii.8 (13,2) Before the sun rose, he was harness'd light] [Warburton stated that "harnessed light" meant Hector was to fight on foot] How does it appear that Hector was to fight on foot rather to-day than on any other day? It is to be remembered, that the ancient heroes never fought on horseback; nor does their manner of fighting in chariots seem to require less activity than on foot.
I.ii.23 (14,4) his valour is crushed into folly] To be crushed into folly, is to be confused and mingled with folly, so as that they make one mass together.
I.ii.46 (15,6) Ilium] Was the palace of Troy.
I.ii.120 (17,7) compass-window] The compass-window is the same as the bow-window. (1773)
I.ii.212 (20,2)
