Sc. 2.

"Doth make a stand at what your Highness wills."


"And more, more strong then lesser, is my fear."

I read 'in my fear.' We have Is for In also in Jul. Cæs. i. 3; the same confusion of these words occurs more than once in Chaucer. I have often met with it in books printed in the last century; and I myself, in writing these Notes, have frequently confounded these words.


"If what in rest you have in right you hold,

Why then your fears—which, as they say, attend

The steps of wrong—should move you to mew up

Your tender kinsman," etc.
