Open your ears: For which of you will stop I, from the orient to the drooping west, • Painted full of tongues. This direction for the appearance of Rumour is found only in the quarto of 1600. The direction explains the sixth line: "Upon my tongues continual slanders ride." Rumour appears to have been exhibited in a similar manner in the masques preceding Shakspere's time, and subsequently. Of the speech of Rumour Dr. Johnson says, "It is wholly useless." The object of the poet was evidently to connect this Part of Henry IV.' with the First Part. Making the wind my post-horse, still unfold That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, Among my household? Why is Rumour here? Who, in a bloody field by Shrewsbury, Hath beaten down young Hotspur, and his troops, Even with the rebels' blood. But what mean I To speak so true at first? my office is The. So the folio; quarto, that. [Exit. |
