Note 46 — ACT IV., SCENE I.
Reading edition
See note to "Hamlet," act i. sc. 2, for a collection of instances in which resolve means dissolve. Probably the latest example is to be found in Pope's "Homer"—
"The phantom said, then vanish'd from his sight, Resolves to air, and mixes with the night." —"Iliad," b. ii.
In some recent editions it has been thought an improvement to alter resolves to dissolves.
