Act i. sc. 1. Second Ambassador’s speech:—

... “When your angers,

_Like_ so many brother billows, rose together,

And, curling up _your_ foaming crests, defied,” &c.

matter of fact critic—all _pus, prose atque venenum_. The “your” in the

next line, instead of “their,” is likewise yours, Mr. Critic!
