[But with the word, the time will bring on summer,
When briars shall have leaves as well as thorns,
And be as sweet as sharp]
The meaning of this observation is, that _as briars_ have _sweetness_
with their _prickles_, so shall these _troubles_ be recompensed with
_joy_.
IV.iv.34 (112,8) [Our waggon is prepar'd, and time revives us] [W: revyes]
The present reading is corrupt, and I am afraid the emendation
none of the soundest. I never remember to have seen the word
_revye_. One may as well leave blunders as make them. Why may we
not read for a shift, without much effort, _the time_ invites _us_?
IV.v.8 (114,1) [I would, I had not known him!] This dialogue serves
to connect the incidents of Parolles with the main plan of the
play.
IV.v.66 (116,4) [_Laf_. A shrewd knave, and an unhappy] That is,
_mischievously waggish; unlucky_. (see 1765, III,379,3)
IV.v.70 (116,5) [he has no pace, but runs where he will] [Tyrrwhit:
place] A _pace_ is a certain or prescribed walk, so we say of a man
meanly obsequious, that he has learned his _paces_. (1773) [(rev.
1778, IV,126,3]
