Charme Walker (Crit. i, 292, On the substitution of Words): Nine lines below, without any apparent reason for the repetition of the word,—‘this grave charm’; wrong, surely; perhaps it is the latter ‘charm’ that is corrupt. ‘Grave’ too looks suspicious.—[Is it worth while to protest against this far-reaching influence of one word on another, at a distance of nine lines? What limit is to be put to this influence? ‘Grave’ may be possibly open to suspicion, although I believe it to be the true word (see note on line 30, below), but I think it was the witchcraft, pure witchcraft of Cleopatra, that dominated Anthony's thoughts.—Ed.] 23. Oh Sunne, thy vprise, etc.] Theobald: Ajax in Sophocles, when he is on the point of killing himself, addresses the sun in a manner not much unlike this. [lines 814-816.]
