III.v.33 (95,4)

Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray,

Hunting thee hence with huntaup to the day]

These two lines are omitted in the modern editions, and do not deserve

to be replaced, but as they may shew the danger of critical temerity.

Dr. Warburton's change of _I would_ to _I wot_ was specious enough, yet

it it is evidently erroneous. The sense is this, _The lark, they say,

has lost her eyes to the toad, and now_ I would _the toad had her voice

too, since she uses it to the disturbance of lovers_.
