Note 136 — ACT IV.
Reading edition
A correspondent of Notes and Queries (1st ser., vol. ix. p. 513) points out that Erasmus has the same simile:—“Anima quæ moderatur utrumque corpus animantis improprie dicitur anima cum revera sint animæ reliquiæ, non aliter quam odor rosarum manet in manu etiam rosa sublata.”—Colloq., Leyden ed., i. 694.
