[Imagine me,
Gentle spectators, that I now may be
In fair Bohemia]
_Time_ is every where alike. I know not whether both sense and
grammar may not dictate,
--_imagine_ we,
Gentle spectators, that_ you _now may be_, &c.
Let _us_ imagine that _you_, who behold these scenes, are now in
Bohemia?
IV.i.29 (322,3) [Is the argument of time] _Argument_ is the same with
_subject_.
IV.i.32 (322,4) [He wishes earnestly you newer may] I believe this
speech of _time_ rather begins the fourth act than concludes the
third.
IV.ii.21 (323,6) [and my profit therein, the heaping friendships]
[W. reaping] I see not that the present reading is nonsense; the
sense of _heaping friendships_ is, though like many other of our
author's, unusual, at least unusual to modern ears, is not very
obscure. _To be more thankful shall be my study; and my profit
therein the heaping friendships._ That is, _I will for the future
be more liberal of recompence, from which I shall receive this
advantage, that as I heap benefits I shall heap friendships, as
I confer favours on thee I shall increase the friendship between us._
IV.ii.35 (324,7) [but I have, missingly, noted] [W. missing him]
[Hammer; musingly noted] I see not how the sense is mended by Sir
T. Hammer's alteration, nor how is it at all changed by Dr. Warburton's.
