41. [Labour.] Referring to the toilsome progress of time, as in T. of A. iii. 4. 8 (Delius).

44. [Catch'd.] Also used for the participle in L. L. L. v. 2. 69 and A. W. i. 3. 176; and for the past tense in Cor. i. 3. 68. Elsewhere S. has caught.

45. [O woe!] White thinks that in "this speech of mock heroic woe" S. ridicules the translation of Seneca's Tragedies (1581); but it is in keeping with the character. Probably this and the next two speeches belong to the early draft of the play, with much that precedes and follows.

52. [Detestable.] For the accent on the first syllable (as always in S.), cf. K. John, iii. 4. 29, T. of A. iv. 1. 33, and v. 3. 45 below.

55. [Despis'd, distressed,] etc. In this line, as in 51, note the mixture of contracted and uncontracted participles.

56. [Uncomfortable.] Cheerless, joyless; the one instance of the word in S.

60. [Buried.] A trisyllable here; as in v. 3. 176 below.

61. [Confusion's.] Here, the word is = ruin, death; but in the next line it is = confused lamentations. Cf. R. of L. 445: "fright her with confusion of their cries."

66. [His.] Its. Heaven is not personified here.
