Note 14 — ACT II.

Reading edition

So in "Macbeth," act v. sc. 5—

"I have almost forgot the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool'd To hear a night-shriek; and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse, and stir As life were in't. I have supt full with horrors! Direness, familiar to my slaught'rous thoughts, Cannot once start me."

[And see note to the "Heir," xi. 449.]
