[425] "Apud eosdem nasci Ctesias scribit, quam mantichoram appellat, triplici dentium ordine pectinatim coeuntium, facie et auriculis hominis, oculis glaucis, colore sanguineo, corpore leonis, cauda scorpionis modo spicula infigentem: vocis ut si misceatur fistulae et tubae concentus: velocitatis magnae, humani corporis vel praecipue appetentem."—C. Plinii "Nat. Hist." lib. viii. c. 21.
[426] The edit. 1611, reads—
"Do as the devil does, hate panther-mankind."—Collier.
[427] All—breath, edits. 1611 and 1629.
[428] The old copy of 1611 reads, unto their wives, and it has been supposed a misprint for wines; but this seems doubtful taking the whole passage together, and the subsequent reference to the children. —Collier.
[429] i.e., To defile. So in Churchyard's "Challenge," 1593, p. 251—
"Away foule workes, that fil'd my face with blurs!"
Again, "Macbeth," act iii. sc. 1—
"If it be so,
For Banquo's issue have I fil'd my mind."
