Or was it with Wych Hazel that something was the matter? Primrose and Dr. Maryland then shared the trouble, for whatever they said was in attempted diversion or correction or emendation. Certainly among them all the talk did not languish. There came a pause for a short space after dinner, when Dr. Maryland had gone back to his study.
As the "Tityi" are an unknown people, conjecture has been busy in suggesting other names, and critics are now of the opinion that the original word used by Menander was not "Tityi," but "Itykaei." The "Itykaei" are the people of Utica: and, if this emendation be accepted, we must regard Hiram as having had to crush a most important and dangerous rebellion.
Truth, The soul of every song that's nobly great. Fiction is the soul of many a song that is nobly great. Perhaps I am wrong: this may be but a prose criticism. Is not the phrase, in line 7, page 6, "Great lake," too much vulgarised by every-day language for so sublime a poem? Great mass of waters, theme for nobler song, is perhaps no emendation.
No such word as cassesi is known to the lexicographers or commentators; and no plausible emendation has yet been suggested. With this ineptitude cf. the friar's "flowers and roses " on the preceding page. Three young men love three sisters, and flee with them to Crete. The eldest of the sisters slays her lover for jealousy.
"Dear, how you interrupt one," said Miss Trafford, pettishly; "well, a very short man, then, wrapped up in a cloak " "In a great coat," drawled Lady Nelthorpe. Miss Trafford went on without noticing the emendation, "had not with incredible rapidity sprung down the rock and " "Called him off," said Lady Nelthorpe.
This is intended for those who excel at the "emendation game," who are in consequence fond of it, and would really be sorry to have no occasion to play it. III. There will, however, be abundant scope for textual criticism as long as we do not possess the exact text of every historical document.
He was a beer-drinker, for the drip of the tap has left its mark in the cellar; a careless man, for this wall is a record of burst water-pipes; and rough in his methods, as his emendation of the garden gate a remedy rather worse than the disease shows. The mark of this prepotent previous man is left on the house from cellar to attic. It is his house really, not mine.
But if Theobald's emendation be received, difficulties still remain. Margaret must have been persuaded to answer to the name of Hero. After Borachio's arrest he tells us that Margaret wore Hero's garments. But Shakespeare, deserting Spenser, from whom this mystification appears to be borrowed, gives no reason which induced Margaret to play this part. Where was Hero on that night?
In comparing his notes with the text, our eye was caught by a verse in which there seems so manifest a corruption that we shall venture to throw down the discord-apple of a conjectural emendation. "in a word, The seeming truth which cunning times put on To entrap the wisest." We find it hard to believe that times is the right word here, and strongly suspect that it has stolen the place of tires.
But he said nothing, and it was Oscard who broke the silence by saying simply: "The same may possibly apply to me." There was a little pause, during which he lighted his pipe. "To a certain extent," he said in emendation. "Of course, my real object, as you no doubt know, is to get away from England until my father's death has been forgotten. My own conscience is quite clear, but "
