Again, act v., sc. 2—
"And where ye sat, he said full certain, if I would follow his reed."
Again, in Erasmus's "Praise of Folie," by Chaloner, sig. D 3: "Vnles perchaunce some would chuse suche a souldiour as was Demosthenes, who folowying Archilocus the poetes rede, scarse lookynge his enemies in the face, threw downe his shelde and ranne awaie, as cowardly a warriour as he was a wyse oratour."
The old version of the singing Psalms also begins in this manner—
"The man is blest that hath not bent
To wicked rede his ear."
[230] i.e., Gladly know. So in Shakpeare's "Antony and Cleopatra," act i., sc. 1—
"In which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weete,
We stand up peerless."
