Feeds _on his_ anger.--

IV.v.92 (292,2) Wherein necessity, of matter beggar'd,/ Will nothing

stick our persons to arraign] HANMER reads,

Whence animosity, _of matter beggar'd_.

He seems not to have understood the connection. _Wherein_, that is, _in

which pestilent speeches, necessity_, or, _the obligation of an accuser

to support his charge, will nothing stick_, &c.

IV.v.99 (293,4) The ocean, over-peering of his list] The lists are the

barriers which the spectators of a tournament must not pass.

IV.v.105 (293,5) The ratifiers and props of every ward] [W: ward] With

this emendation, which was in Theobald's edition, Hanmer was not

satisfied. It is indeed harsh. HANMER transposes the lines, and reads,

_They cry_, "Chuse we Laertes for our king;"

The ratifiers and props of every word,

_Caps, hands, and tongues, applaud it to the clouds_.
