Line 3171 - Commentary Note (CN)

Commentary notes (CN):

1. SMALL CAPS Indicate editions. Notes for each commentator are divided into three parts:

In the 1st two lines of a record, when the name of the source text (the siglum) is printed in SMALL CAPS, the comment comes from an EDITION; when it is in normal font, it is derived from a book, article, ms. record or other source. We occasionally use small caps for ms. sources and for works related to editions. See bibliographies for complete information (in process).

2. How comments are related to predecessors' comments. In the second line of a record, a label "without attribution" indicates that a prior writer made the same or a similar point; such similarities do not usually indicate plagiarism because many writers do not, as a practice, indicate the sources of their glosses. We provide the designation ("standard") to indicate a gloss in common use. We use ≈ for "equivalent to" and = for "exactly alike."

3. Original comment. When the second line is blank after the writer's siglum, we are signaling that we have not seen that writer's gloss prior to that date. We welcome correction on this point.

4. Words from the play under discussion (lemmata). In the third line or lines of a record, the lemmata after the TLN (Through Line Number] are from Q2. When the difference between Q2 and the authors' lemma(ta) is significant, we include the writer's lemma(ta). When the gloss is for a whole line or lines, only the line number(s) appear. Through Line Numbers are numbers straight through a play and include stage directions. Most modern editions still use the system of starting line numbers afresh for every scene and do not assign line numbers to stage directions.

5. Bibliographic information. In the third line of the record, where we record the gloss, we provide concise bibliographic information, expanded in the bibliographies, several of which are in process.

6. References to other lines or other works. For a writer's reference to a passage elsewhere in Ham. we provide, in brackets, Through Line Numbers (TLN) from the Norton F1 (used by permission); we call these xref, i.e., cross references. We call references to Shakespearean plays other than Ham. “parallels” (//) and indicate Riverside act, scene and line number as well as TLN. We call references to non-Shakespearean works “analogues.”

7. Further information: See the Introduction for explanations of other abbreviations. Click here for more information about browsing the entries and here for more information about the special symbols used in Hamletworks. Click the question mark icon above to remove this help message.

“2. It seems sometimes to be, even by good writers, confounded with endow or indow, to furnish or enrich with any quality or excellence. ‘The angel, by whom God indued the waters of Bethesda with supernatural virtue, was not seen; yet the angel’s presence was known by the waters.’ Hooker ‘His pow’rs, with dredful strength indu’d, She, with her fair hand, still’d into the nostrils of his friend.’ Chapman’s Iliads.”

1785b Mason

Mason:

3171 indewed] Mason (1785, p. 395) : <p. 395> “I don’t think the word indued is sense in this place; and believe we should read either inured or indured: the former I should think the better reading. Shakspeare seems to have forgotten himself in this scene, as there is not a single circumstance in this relation of poor Ophelia’s death that induces us to think she had drowned herself intentionally.” </p. 395>

1790 mal See n. 2507-8

mal:

3171 indewed] Malone (ed. 1790) : “As we are indued with certain original dispositions and propensities at our birth, Shakspeare here uses indued with great licentiousness, for formed by nature; clothed, endowed, or furnished, with properties suited to the element of water.

“Our old writers used indued and endowed indiscriminately. ‘To indue,’ says Minsheu in his Dictionary, “Sepissime refertur ad dotes adnimo infusas, quibus nimirum ingenium alicuius imbutum et initiatum est, unde et G. instruire L. imbuere . Imbuere proprie est inchoare et initiari.’[To be translated]

“In Cotgrave’s French Dictionary, 1611, instruire is interpreted, ‘to fashion, to furnish with.’ MALONE”

3171 indewed] Todd (1818, indue, 1, 2): “v.a. [induo, Latin] 1. To invest. ‘One first matter all, Indu’d with various forms.’ PL 2. It seems sometimes to be, even by good writers, confounded with endow or indow, to furnish or enrich with any quality or excellence. This, however, is more fully explained under the second sense of To ENDUE [[at endue, Todd defines it as ‘investing with other powers and advantages than those of the mind”]]. ‘The angel, by whom God indued the waters of Bethesda with supernatural virtue, was not seen; yet the angel’s presence was known by the waters.’ Hooker ‘His pow’rs, with dredful strength indu’d, She, with her fair hand, still’d into the nostrils of his friend.’ Chapman’s Iliads.”

Imbuere proprie est inchoare et initiari.’[To be translated]

“In Cotgrave’s French Dictionary, 1611, instruire is interpreted, ‘to fashion, to furnish with.’

“Our author uses this term in the same way in Oth (3.4. [0000]). ‘For let our finger ache and it endues Our other healthful members, ev’n to that sense Of pain’ III.4. Desd. where it means fashions, moulds, adapts by communicating or imparting congenial sensations; makes to participate of.”
