Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare-Notes
Instead of the word statue in the last line, changes have been proposed, e.g., sainted, statued, stated, &c., and there is no reason decidedly to pro nounce any one of them as wrong, but neither is there any to declare them as right. N 0 one of them bears the convincing stamp of Shakespeare. This poet likes to squeeze the lemon of his puns to the last drop, and as the lawyer - if a crime has been committed - asks, 0a est la femme? A Shakespearian scholar, if he has to deal with an unintelligible line of the text, must ask, Where is the pith of the quibble? Where is the antithesis Here the pun lies in the word shadow.
