] Old ed. "_Articks_ Rhene." ("Rhene" is the old form of "Rhine.")

[616] So old ed. Dyce's correction "or groaning woman's womb" seems
hardly necessary. (The original has "plenaeque in viscera partu
conjugis.")

[617] "Numina miscebit castrensis flamma _Monetae_."

[618] Old ed. "bowde."

[619] Fetches.

[620] The original has--

"Castraque quae, Vogesi curvam super ardua rupem,
Pugnaces pictis cohibebant _Lingonas_ armis."

Dyce conjectures that Marlowe's copy read _Lingones_.

[621] Old ed. "bloats."

[622]

"Tunc rura Nemossi
Qui tenet et ripas Aturi."

[623] Marlowe seems to have read here very ridiculously, "gaudetque
amato [instead of amoto] Santonus hoste."--_Dyce_.

[624] Marlowe has converted the name of a tribe into that of a country.

[625] The approved reading is "longisque leves _Suessones_ in armis."

[626] "Optimus excusso _Leucus Rhemusque_ lacerto."

[627] "Et qui te _laxis_ imitantur, Sarmata, _bracchis_ Vangiones."

Marlowe has mistaken "Sarmata," a _Sarmatian_, for the country
_Sarmatia_.

[628] The old ed. gives "fell Mercury (Joue)," and in the next line
"where it seems." "Jove" written, as a correction, in the MS. above "it"
was supposed by the printer to belong to the previous line.

[629] The original has--

"Hunc inter Rhenum populos Alpesque jacentes, / Finibus Arctois
patriaque a sede revulsos, / Pone sequi."/ ("Populos" is the subject and
"Hunc" the object of "sequi." For "Hunc" the best editions give "Tunc.")

[630] "Parts" must be pronounced as a dissyllable.

[631] "Praecipitem populum."

[632] "Serieque haerentia longa / Agmina prorumpunt."

[633] "Urbem populis, _victisque_ frequentem Gentibus."--Old ed.
"captaines."

[634] "Fulgura _fallaci_ micuerunt crebra sereno."

[635] The original has, "_jugis_ nutantibus." Dyce reads "tops,"--an
emendation against which Cunningham loudly protests. "Laps" is certainly
more emphatic.

[636] The line is imperfect. We should have expected "_at night_ wild
beasts were seen" ("silvisque feras _sub nocte_ relictis").

[637] Old ed. "Sibils."

[638] Shrieked.

[639] "Gelidas _Anienis_ ad undas."

[640] "Or Lunae"--marginal note in old ed.

[641] The original has "rapi."

[642] Old ed. "wash'd."

[643] Portendeth.

[644] Here Marlowe quite deserts the original--

"pars aegra et marcida pendet,
_Pars micat, et celeri venas movet improba pulsu_."

[645] "Nu
