26. [Slays.] The 2d quarto has "staies" (= stops, paralyzes), which some editors prefer.
27. [Encamp them.] For the reflexive use, cf. Hen. V. iii. 6. 180: "we'll encamp ourselves." On the figurative encamp, cf. L.C. 203.
29. [Worser.] Cf. iii. 2. 108 below: "worser than Tybalt's death." Predominant was originally an astrological term. See A.W. i. 1. 211, etc.
30. [Canker.] Canker-worm. Cf. V. and A. 656: "The canker that eats up Love's tender spring;" T.G. of V. i. 1. 43: "in the sweetest bud The eating canker dwells," etc.
34. [Good morrow.] Here = good-by.
37. [Unstuff'd.] "Not overcharged" (Schmidt); used by S. only here.
40. [With some.] The editors generally adopt "by some" from the 1st quarto; but with = by is so common in S. that the reading of all the other early eds. may be accepted. See on i. 1. 148 and i. 2. 49 above. Distemperature = disorder. Cf. C. of E. v. 1. 82: "Of pale distemperatures and foes to life."
41, 42. [Or if not so,] etc. Marshall doubts whether S. wrote these lines. Of course, they belong to the first draft of the play.
51. [Both our remedies.] The healing of both of us. Cf. A.W. i. 3. 169: "both our mothers" = the mother of both of us. See also Ham. iii. 1. 42, Cymb. ii. 4. 56, etc.
52. [Lies.] Cf. V. and A. 1128:—
