3085 topp’d my thought] Delius (ed. 1854) gives the Fol reading of pass’d and concludes: “Der Sinn ist derselbe, nur dass topp’d ein geeigneteres Wort ist: Er übertraf meine Gedanken so weit, dass ich mit ihnen, indem ich mir allerlei mîgliche Reiterkünste ausdachte, hinter seinen Leistungen zurückblieb.” [“The meaning is the same, but that topp’d is another word:’he violates my thoughts so deeply, that in comparison with him, I thought I lagged behind his reputation, because I contrived myself the best possible horseman.”]

This fact was probably not remembered by the precisians whom Browning scandalized in his translation of the Agamemnon by using the word topping for ¥koj , in the sense of surpassing.

3085 topt] Wilson (1934, 2:271): Wilson feels that Q2 offers the more “attractive reading” than F1. He also observes that ROWE, POPE follow F1 here.
3085 topt]
Wilson (1934, 2:278) <p. 278> Wilson provides a table of Q2 and F1 words to indicate that Q2 often has the more poetic form:
iump : iust
deuise : aduise
topt : past
prefard : prepar’d
ascaunt :aslant
cronet : Coronet
laudes : tunes
clawed : caught
Crants : Rites
Wilson’s conclusion is: “A study of these variants is a lesson at once in Shakespearian diction and in the kind of degradation his verse suffered at the hands of those responsible for the F1 text, for what the context loses in every instance is poetic value rather than meaning.”
