Note 85 — SCENE II.

Reading edition

"Impartial" is occasionally used by old writers in the sense of "unkindly." Cf. Prologue to Peele's Arraignment of Paris:—

"Th' unpartial daughters of Necessity Bin aiders in her suit."

So in William Smith's Chloris(Sonnet 11):—

"No, it was not Nature's ornament But wingèd love's unpartial cruel wound."

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
