Note 12 — BOOK VI.
Rowland Smith translation
"Open your ears; for which of you will stop The vent of hearing, when loud Rumour speaks; I, from the Orient to the drooping West, Making the wind my posthorse, still unfold The acts commenced on this ball of earth; Upon my tongues continued slanders ride: The which in every language I pronounce, Stuffing the ears of men with false reports." Introduction to 2nd part of Henry IV.
