Note 304 — W. CAREW HAZLITT. (continued 5)
Reading edition
The word cling is so variously used in different authors, that it is difficult to affix any precise meaning to it. Several instances are quoted by Mr Steevens, in his Note on “Macbeth,” act v. sc. 5. I imagine Horatio means, that his weapon shall cling to him, or not leave him, until he had gratified his revenge for his friend’s murder.
