Note 72 — ACT I.
Reading edition
"Omne majus continet in se minus, sed minus non in se majus continere potest," says Scaliger in Thumbo. I suppose he would have cavilled at these beautiful lines in the "Earl of Essex:"
"Thy most inveterate soul, That looks through the foul prison of thy body."
And at those of Dryden:
"The palace is without too well design'd; Conduct me in, for I will view thy mind."—"Aurengzebe."
