l. 5. _We ask'd._ The past tense of the MSS. makes the antithesis
and sense more pointed. 'It was with no one's leave we lov'd to begin
with, and we will owe to no one the death that comes with parting.'
ll. 7 f. _Goe: and if that word have not quite kil'd thee,
Ease mee with death, by bidding mee goe too_.
Compare:
_Val._ No more: unless the next word that thou speak'st
Have some malignant power upon my life:
If so, I pray thee, breathe it in mine ear,
As ending anthem of my endless dolour.
_Two Gentlemen of Verona_, III. i. 236 f.
