Note 301 — ACT IV.
Reading edition
Dashed violently.—We have had the word before (p. 11) used transitively; but it is also used intransitively, as in Drayton’s Ballad of Agincourt:—
“This while our noble king, His broadsword brandishing. Down the French host did ding As to o’erwhelm it.” (Text of ed. 1619.)
