Sc. 3.

"And lay them gently on thy tender side.

I kiss these fingers for eternal peace."

I approve of this transposition made by Malone.


"Hast not a tongue? is she not here?"

The 2nd folio, which all follow, adds thy prisoner; alone might be better.


"Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough?"

Various attempts have been made to amend 'rough,' but with little success. We might perhaps read dull; but 'rough' may have been used in the sense of rugged, insensible.
