still, The bold windes speechlesse, and the Orbe below As hush as death: Anon the dreadfull Thunder [Sidenote: 110] Doth rend the Region.[11] So after _Pyrrhus_ pause, Arowsed Vengeance sets him new a-worke, And neuer did the Cyclops hammers fall On Mars his Armours, forg'd for proofe Eterne, [Sidenote: _Marses_ Armor] With lesse remorse then _Pyrrhus_ bleeding sword Now falles on _Priam_. [12] Out, out, thou Strumpet-Fortune, all you Gods, In generall Synod take away her power: Breake all the Spokes and Fallies from her wheele, [Sidenote: follies] [Footnote 1: This, though horrid enough, is in degree below the description in _Dido_.] [Footnote 2: He is directing the player to take up the speech there where he leaves it. See last quotation from _1st Q_.] [Footnote 3: _judgment_.] [Footnote 4: --with an old man's under-reaching blows--till his arm is so jarred by a missed blow, that he cannot raise his sword again.] [Footnote 5: Whereat he lifted up his bedrid limbs, And would have grappled with Achilles' son, * * * * * Which he, disdaining, whisk'd his sword about, And with the wound[13] thereof the king fell down. Marlowe's _Dido, Queen of Carthage_.] [Footnote 6: The _Quarto_ has omitted '_Then senselesse Illium_,' or something else.] [Footnote 7: Printed with the long f[symbol for archaic long s].] [Footnote 8: --motionless as a tyrant in a picture.] [Footnote 9: 'standing between his will and its object as if he had no relation to either.'] [Footnote 10: And then in triumph ran into the streets, Through which he could not pass for slaughtered men; So, leaning on his sword, he stood stone still, Viewing the fire wherewith rich Ilion burnt. Marlowe's _Dido, Queen of Carthage_.] [Footnote 11: Who does not feel this passage, down to 'Region,' thoroughly Shaksperean!] [Footnote 12: Is not the rest of this speech very plainly Shakspere's?] [Footnote 13: _wind_, I think it should be.] [Page 106] And boule the round Naue downe the hill of Heauen, As low as to the Fiends. _Pol_. This is too long. _Ham_. It shall to'th Barbars, with your beard. [Sidenote: to the] Prythee say on: He's for a Iigge, or a tale of Baudry, or hee sleepes. Say on; come to _Hecuba_. _1. Play_. But who, O who, had seen the inobled[1] Queen.
