{261} Surely, for _sweet'st_ we should read _swift'st_. {262a} This word occurs but once in Shakespeare's plays-- And speaking it, he wistly looked on me; (_King Richard II_. Act v. Sc. 4.) and in such a case, as in the previous instances of the words _invocate_ and _endamagement_, a mere [Greek text] can carry no weight of evidence with it worth any student's consideration. {262b} This form is used four times by Shakespeare as the equivalent of Bretagne; once only, in one of his latest plays, as a synonym for Britain. {263a} Another word indiscoverable in any genuine verse of Shakespeare's, though not (I believe) unused on occasion by some among the poets contemporary with his earlier years. {263b} This word was perhaps unnecessarily altered by our good Capell to "tender." {264a} Yet another and a singular misuse of a word never so used or misused by Shakespeare. {264b} Qu. Why, so is your desire: If that the law, etc.? {264c} _Sic_. I should once have thought it impossible that any mortal ear could endure the shock of this unspeakable and incomparable verse, and find in the passage which contains it an echo or a trace of the "music, wit, and oracle" of Shakespeare.
