III.i.221 (370,5) are very poisonous] I read, are very poisons.
III.i.242 (371,7) One time will owe another] I know not whether to owe in this place means to possess by right, or to be indebted. Either sense may be admitted. One time, in which the people are seditious, will give us power in some other time; or, this time of the people's predominance will run them in debt; that is, will lay them open to the law, and expose them hereafter to more servile subjection.
III.i.248 (372,8) Before the tag return] The lowest and most despicable of the populace are still denominated by those a little above them, Tag, rag, and bobtail. (1773)
III.ii.7 (376,4) I muse] That is, I wonder. I am at a loss.
III.ii.12 (376,5) my ordinance] My rank.
III.ii.51 (378,8) Why force you] Why urge you.
III.ii.56 (378,9) bastards, and syllables/Of no allowance, to your bosom's truth] I read,
Of no alliance,—
therefore bastards. Yet allowance may well enough stand, as meaning legal right, established rank, or settled authority. (see 1765, VI, 566, 7)
III.ii.64 (379,1) I am in this/Your wife, your son] I rather think the meaning is, I am in their condition, I am at stake, together with your wife, your son.
