I read,

--thou heap'st

_Years, ages_ on me.

I.i.135 (160,5) a touch more rare/Subdues all pangs, all fears] _Rare_

is used often for _eminently good_; but I do not remember any passage in

which it stands for _eminently bad_. May we read,

--a touch more _near_.

_Cura deam_ propior luctusque domesticus angit. _Ovid_.

Shall we try again,

--a touch more _rear_.

_Crudum vulnus._ But of this I know not any example. There is yet

another interpretation, which perhaps will remove the difficulty. _A

touch more rare_, may mean _a nobler passion_.

I.i.140 (161,6) a puttock] A _kite_.

I.ii.31 (163,1) her beauty and her brain go not together] I believe the

lord means to speak a sentence, "Sir, as I told you always, beauty and

brain go not together."

I.ii.32 (164,2) She's a good sign] [W: shine] There is acuteness enough

in this note, yet I believe the poet meant nothing by _sign_, but _fair

outward_ shew.
