[Footnote 150: Fearing his love] i.e. Fearing with respect to his love.]
[Footnote 151: of] so the 4to.--The 8vo "and."]
[Footnote 152: fury] So the 4to.--The 8vo "furies."]
[Footnote 153: shone] Old eds. "shine."]
[Footnote 154: send] Old eds. "sent."]
[Footnote 155: menace] So the 8vo.--The 4to "meane."]
[Footnote 156: fetch] So the 8vo.--The 4to "fetcht."]
[Footnote 157: set] So the 8vo.--The 4to "seate."]
[Footnote 158: Terrene] i.e. Mediterranean.]

[Footnote 160: bastones] i.e. bastinadoes.]
[Footnote 161: they] So the 8vo.--0mitted in the 4to.]
[Footnote 162: Morocco] Here the old eds. "Moroccus,"--a barbarism which I have not retained, because previously, in the stage-direction at the commencement of this act, p. 19, they agree in reading "Morocco."]
[Footnote 163: t.i.tles] So the 8vo.--The 4to "t.i.tle."]
[Footnote 164: sarell] i.e. seraglio.]
[Footnote 165: I"ll] So the 8vo.--The 4to "I will."]
[Footnote 166: the] So the 8vo.--The 4to "this."]
[Footnote 167: hugy] i.e. huge.]
[Footnote 168: renowm"d] See note, p. 11.[i.e. note 52.] So the 8vo.
--The 4to "renowned."]
[Footnote 169: of] So the 8vo.--The 4to "all."]
[Footnote 170: rule] So the 8vo.--The 4to "raigne."]
[Footnote 171: braver] So the 8vo.--The 4to "braue."]
[Footnote 172: pash] i.e. crush to pieces by a stroke.]

i.e. note 81.]
[Footnote 174: them] Old eds. "thee."]
[Footnote 175: the] Has perhaps crept in by a mistake of the transcriber or printer.]
[Footnote 176: And make your strokes to wound the senseless light] The old eds. have,
"And make OUR strokes to wound the sencelesse LURE."
(the last word being, perhaps, in the 8vo "lute.") Here "light"
is a very questionable reading: qy. "air"? (though the third line above ends with that word).)]
[Footnote 177: boss] In the GENT. MAG. for Jan. 1841, J. M. proposed to alter "boss" to "Ba.s.sa." But Cotgrave, in his DICT., has; "A fat BOSSE. Femme bien gra.s.se et grosse; une coche."]

[Footnote 179: That dare, &c.] Something dropt out from this line.]
[Footnote 180: Re-enter Bajazeth, pursued by Tamburlaine] The old eds.
have,
"Bajazeth flies, and he pursues him. The battell short (Qto. is short), and they enter, Bajazeth is ouercome."
This not very intelligible stage-direction means perhaps that, after Bajazeth and Tamburlaine had entered, a short combat was to take place between them.]

[Footnote 187: basilisks] Pieces of ordnance so called. They were of immense size; see Douce"s ILl.u.s.t. OF SHAKESPEARE, i. 425.]
[Footnote 188: monstrous] To be read as a trisyllable.]
