_Jul._ Ay, Madam, from the reach of these my hands:
'Would, none but I might venge my cousin's death.!]
Juliet's equivocations are rather too artful for a mind disturbed by the
loss of a new lover.
III.v.91 (98,4) That shall bestow on hin so sure a draught] [Thus the
elder quarto, which I have followed in preference to the quarto 1609,
and the folio 1623, which read, less intelligibly,
"Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram." STEEVENS.]
--_unaccustomed dram_.] In vulgar language, Shall give him a _dram_
which he is _not used_ to. Though I have, if I mistake not, observed,
that in old books _unaccustomed_ signifies _wonderful, powerful,
efficacious_.
III.v.112 (98,6) in happy time] _A la bonne heure_. This phrase was
interjected, when the hearer was not quite so well pleased as the
speaker.
III.v.227 (103,3) As living here] Sir T. HANMER reads, _as living_
hence; that is, at a dsitance, in banishment; but _here_ may signify,
_in this world_.
IV.i.3 (104,1) And I am nothing alow to slack his haste] _His haste
shall not be abated by my slowness_. It might be read,
And I an nothing slow to _back_ his haste:
that is, I am diligent to _abet_ and _enforce_ his haste.
