A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 13

Note 336 — ACT III., SCENE I.

Reading edition

"That your hairs were golden threads," is the true reading; but Mr Reed allowed it to stand, "that your hearts were golden threads," which is nonsense, or very near it. Shakespeare has the same expression in his "Rape of Lucrece"—

"Her hair, like golden threads, play'd with her breath."

—Collier.
