So the passage should be pointed. The first 'done' in the first line is, finished, ended; from 'If' in the second line to 'life to come' in the seventh is one sentence, with the same idea repeated in three several forms, and not completed; common sense dictates the transposition of 'surcease' and 'success,' the latter signifying accomplishment; 'but' in lines four and six is, only; 'the life to come' is not the future state but the remaining years of his own life, as is manifest from what follows. In scene 5 we have had, "Which shall to all our nights and days to come." We also meet with, "True swains in love shall in the world to come" (Tr. and Cr. iii. 2). "Thus all his life to come is loss and shame." Cowley, Davideis, ii. 616.
"Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other side.—How now! what news?"
Hanmer also supplied side, which metre and sense demand alike. He had completed what he intended to say, and was pausing when his wife entered.
"At what it did so freely? From this time
Such I account thy love."
A line or more must have been lost between these lines.
