'When thou reviewest this, thou dost review
The very part was consecrate to thee.'

Similarly we find 'create,'' dedicate,' 'excommunicate,' ' incorporate.'
400. take his gait, take his way or course. Compare King Lear, iv. 6.
242: 'Go your gait'; though this is intentionally rustic language. Steevens
quotes from Lawrence Minot, p. 50:

Take thi gate unto Gines,

And grete tham wele thare.'

The phrase is familiar in the dialect of the northern counties.

403, 404. These lines are arranged as by Staunton. In the quartos and folios they stand thus:

Ever shall in safety rest,

And the owner of it blest.'

Delius supposes the relative pronoun 'which,' referring to the palace, to be omitted before 'Ever.' Rowe reads Ever shall it safely rest'; and Malone, 'E'er shall it in safety rest.'

413. reprehend, censure, blame.

Compare Venus and Adonis, 1065:

And then she reprehends her mangling eye.'

416. unearned luck, good fortune which we have not deserved.

419. If we 'scape the serpent's tongue, that is, without being hissed. Steevens quotes from Markham's English Arcadia (1607): 'But the nymph, after the custom of distrest tragedians, whose first act is entertained with a snaky salutation,' &c.

421. Give me your hands, that is, applaud by clapping. Compare All's Well that Ends Well, v. 3. 340:

'Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts."
