Note 85 — WINDSOR FOREST.
Reading edition
The idea of "augmenting the waves with tears" was very common among the earliest English poets, but perhaps the most ridiculous use ever made of this combination, was by Shakespeare:
Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, And therefore I forbid my tears.—Bowles.
Dryden's translation of the first book of Ovid's Art of Love:
Her briny tears augment the briny flood.
