To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If whose mother was her painting was, as I have heard it said, too obscure a phrase to be used before the " groundlings " of the Globe, surely mere fathers of their . Garments is open 12 to the same objection. * Singularly enough, the elder critics proposed feather in the place of mother, as Tyrwhitt suggested it in the other play for father. I am persuaded no alteration is tenable in either instance. It must be recollected the metaphorical use of father, mother, and parent, is of very frequent... occur- rence in the old dramatists. Thus, in Shakespeare, we have the following instances besides those already quoted, " Thou still hast been the father of good news. " Hamlet, Act ii, Sc. 2. " What news, lord Bardolph ? every minute now Should be the father of some stratagem. " 1 Henry IF, Act i, Sc. 1. The use of the word here only bears a distant analogy to that in the passage in Cymbeline, but combined with the circumstance that Shakespeare elsewhere represents the dress as a man's father, can we refuse to accept the probability of his regarding the courtesan's painting as her mother, the courtesan, in fact, created by painting ?
