You have, by fortune, and his highnefs' favours, Gone flightly o'er low fteps; and now are mounted, 1 Fortune is painted plind, with a muffler before her eyes, to fignify to you that Fortune is plind.] Here the fool of a player was for making a joke, as Hamlet fays, not fet down for him, and shewing a moft pitiful ambition to be witty. For Fluellen, though he fpeaks with his country accent, yet is all the way represented as a man of good plain fenfe. Therefore, as it appears he knew the meaning of the term plind, by his ufe of it, he could never have faid that Fortune was painted plind, to fignify she was plind. We should, therefore, ftrike out the first plind, and read, "Fortune is painted with a muffler, &c." WARBURTON. Dr. Warburton is mistaken. There is here no ambition to be witty. Fluellen fays, "Fortune is painted plind;" but recollecting that Pistol might not readily comprehend how Fortune could be reprefented or painted blind, he goes on" that is, "with a muffler before her eyes, to fignify to you that Fortune * is plind.” L A.

Wherein Wherein have you play'd the knave with Fortune, that she should fcratch you, who of herself is a good lady, and would not have knaves thrive long under her? All's well that ends well, A. 5, S. 2. I have, ere now, fir, been better known to you, when I have held familiarity with fresher clothes; but I am now, fir, muddy'd in Fortune's moat, and smell somewhat strong of her ftrong difpleasure. All's well that ends well, A. 5, S. 2. — One out of fuits with fortune; That could give more, but that her hand lacks As you like it, A. 1, S. 2. means. It pleases time, and fortune, to lie heavy As we do turn our backs From our companion, thrown into his grave; Slink all away; leave their falfe vows with him,.
