[IV.10] wind: wheel, turn. We have 'wind' as an active verb in 1 Henry IV, IV, i, 109: "To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus."
[IV.11] in some taste: to some small extent. This meaning comes from 'taste' in the sense of 'a small portion given as a sample.'
[IV.12] objects, arts | Objects, Arts Ff | abject orts Theobald | abjects, orts Staunton Camb Globe.
[IV.13] imitations, Rowe | Imitations. Ff.
[IV.14] stal'd F3 | stal'de F1F2 | stall'd F4.
[IV.15] ll. 37-39 As the textual notes show, modern editors have not been content with the reading of the Folios. The serious trouble with the old text is the period at the close of l. 37. If a comma be substituted the meaning becomes obvious: Lepidus is one who is always interested in, and talking about, such things—books, works of art, etc.—as everybody else has got tired of and thrown aside. Cf. Falstaff's account of Shallow, 2 Henry IV, III, ii, 340: "'a came ever in the rearward of the fashion; and sung those tunes to the over-scutch'd huswives that he heard the carmen whistle, and sware they were his fancies or his good-nights." 'Stal'd' is 'outworn,' or 'grown stale'; and the reference is not to objects, etc., generally, but only to those which have lost the interest of freshness. 'Abjects' in the Staunton-Cambridge reading, is 'things thrown away'; 'orts,' 'broken fragments.'
[IV.16] a property: a tool, an accessory. The reference is to a 'stage property.' Cf. Fletcher and Massinger, The False One, V, iii:
this devil Photinus
Employs me as a property, and, grown useless,
Will shake me off again.
