Note 39 — SCENE II.

Reading edition

Pash,] i. e. to strike a thing with such force as to dash it to pieces. The word is now obsolete; which is to be regretted, as we have none that can adequately supply its place: it is used in its proper sense by Dryden, which is the latest instance I recollect:

"Thy cunning engines have with labour raised My heavy anger, like a mighty weight, To fall and pash thee."

Gifford.
