6._Ho!_. In conjunction with the preceding word doubtless means "What
ho!" changed by Clarke to "What hoo!" In the original MS. it reads
"What hi!" but this has been accredited to the tendency of the time to
write "What hi" when "what ho" was meant. Techner alone maintains that
it should read "What humpf!" Cf. Ham. 5:0, "High-ho!"
7. _Where_. The reading of the folio, retained by Johnson, the
Cambridge editors and others, but it is not impossible that
Shakespeare wrote "why," as Pope and others give it. This would make
the passage read "Why the music?" instead of "Where is the music?"
and would be a much more probable interpretation in view of the music
of that time. Cf. George Ade. Fable No. 15, "Why the gunny-sack?"
