II.iv.157 (386,2) Age is unnecessary] i.e. Old age has few wants.
II.iv.162 (386,3) Look'd black upon me] To look black, may easily be explained to look cloudy or gloomy. See Milton:
"So frown'd the mighty combatants, that hell
Grew darker at their frown."—
II.iv.170 (386,4) To fall, and blast her pride!] Thus the quarto: the folio reads not so well, to fall and blister. I think there is still a fault, which may be easily mended by changing a letter:
—Infect her beauty,
Ye fen-suck'd fogs, drawn by the powerful sun,
Do, fall, and blast her pride!
II.iv.174 (387.6) Thy tender-hested nature shall not give/Thee o'er to harshness] This word, though its general meaning be plain, I do not critically understand.
II.iv.178 (387,7) to scant my sizes] To contract my allowances or proportions settled.
