L. 261. Tout autre : ' any other.' For cœur, compare

L. 263. A ma douleur dépends on doux. In next line, note use of à, ' in, ' or ' by.' See 1. 4 1 .

Z. 266. This line, so graphically représentative of the old Don, is also, like 35, 227, parodied by Racine in Les Plaideurs II, 3. Fassnacht, in his édition of Le Cid, justly remarks that such parodies show that passages from this play were then in everybody's mouth.

L. 269. en : 'for it.' eût is hère conditional : ' would hâve.'

L. 275. Au surplus : 'moreover.' Note the parenthetical use of the infin. : ' not to deceive you.' In the next line à redouter is like à craindre, 1. 257. This double use of à in the same sentence is a fault.
