To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the line, — " I met the ravin lion when he roared," ** ravin" means ravening : the old corrector states that " ravin*' was a misprint for ravening. SCENE IV. P. 263. In the passage, "Which of them both Is dearest to me, I have no skiU in sense To make distinction," " skill or sense" seems preferable, and " in" is altered to or by the corrector of the folio, 1632. SCENE VL P. 269. For "let him fetch his drum," the correction in the fo- lio, 1632, is ** let him fetch of his drum," which is the ve...ry phrase used in the next speech. Theobald speculated that " lump of ours," of the old copies, should be "lump of ore,'^ but "lump of oret^^ is proposed in the margin of the folio, 1632. ACT IV. SCENE H. P. 278. We here meet with an easy misprint and a happy emendation of the text. Bertram, endeavouring to melt and mould the virtuous Diana to his wishes, tells her, — " If the qoick fire of youth light not your miud, Ton are no maiden, bat a monument : When yon are dead, jou shoold he such a one As yon are now, for yon are cold and stem." Steevens seems to have had a notion that " stem" was not the nght word, but he did not know what to put instead of it.
