Ib. The rest is silence. The quartos have 'which have solicited, the rest is silence.' The folios, Which have solicited. The rest is silence. O, o, o, o. Dyes.' If Hamlet's speech is interrupted by his death, it would be more natural that the words 'The rest is silence,' should be spoken by Horatio. 343. Now cracks a noble heart. Compare Coriolanus, v. 3. 9: Whom with a crack'd heart I have sent to Rome.' And Antony and Cleopatra, v. 1. 14, 15, of Antony's death: The breaking of so great a thing should make 348. quarry, literally, the game hunted. Randle Holme, in his Academy of Armory (Book II, c. xi. p. 240), defines it as the Fowl which the Hawk flyeth at, whether dead or alive.' Here it denotes the pile of dead. See Macbeth, iv. 3. 206. Ib. cries on. Compare Othello, v. 1. 48: 'Whose noise is this that cries on murder?' Ib. havoc. Compare Coriolanus, iii. 1. 275: 'Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt With modest warrant.' And Julius Cæsar, iii. 1. 273: 'Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war.' This quarry cries on havoc' seems to mean, this pile of corpses urges to merciless slaughter, where no quarter is given. In the Statutes of Warre, &c., by King Henry VIII (1513), quoted in Todd's edition of Johnson's Dictionary, it is enacted, That noo man be so hardy to crye havoke, upon payne of hym that is so founde begynner, to dye therefore; and the remenaunt to be emprysoned, and theyr bodyes punyshed at the kynges will. See also the Ordinances of War of Richard II and Henry V, published in the Black Book of the Admirality (ed. Twiss), i. 455, 462. The etymology of the word is purely conjectural. hafog, destruction; others from the A. S. hafoc, a hawk; others from the French hai, voux! a cry to hounds. Some derive it from the Welsh 349. feast. Compare King John, ii. 1. 354, of Death: And now he feasts, mousing the flesh of men.' Ib. toward. See i. 1. 77. Ib. eternal. There are two or three passages in which Shakespeare seems to use this word as equivalent to 'infernal.' See i. 5. 21. Compare Julius Cæsar, i. 2. 160: There was a Brutus once, who would have brook'd The eternal devil to keep his state in Rome As easily as a king.' And Othello, iv. 2. 130: 'I will be hang'd, if some eternal villain, Some busy and insinuating rogue, Some cogging, cozening slave, to get some office, 356. his mouth. That is, the king's. 359. jump. See i. 1. 65. 360. Polack. See i. 1. 63. 365. carnal. Some of the later quartos read cruell.' The word has much the same sense in Richard III, iv. 4. 56: How do I thank thee that this carnal cur Preys on the issue of his mother's body.' The reference in this line is to the murder of the elder Hamlet by Claudius, and his incestuous marriage; in the next to the death of Polonius; and in 1. 367 to the execution of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. 367. put on, instigated. Compare Coriolanus, ii. 1. 272: 'Which time shall not want, If he be put upon't.' See note on i. 3. 94. 6 Ib. forced cause. So the folios. The quartos read for no cause.' 368. in this upshot, in this conclusion of the tragedy. In archery, the ' upshot' was the final shot, which decided the match. It is used in the same metaphorical sense as here in Twelfth Night, iv. 2. 76: 'I cannot pursue with any safety this sport to the upshot.' Ib. mistook, mistaken. Compare 2 Henry IV, iv. 2. 56: 'My father's purposes have been mistook.' 370. deliver. See i. 2. 193. 373. some rights of memory, some rights which are remembered. 381. put on, put to the test. 387. The concluding stage direction is Capell's The quartos have 'Exeunt.' The folios, with slight variations, Exeunt Marching: after the which, a Peale of Ordenance are shot off.'
