thought Malone: ‘Thought,’ in this passage, as in many others, signifies melancholy.—[Why not say pensiveness at once? The damning ‘thought’ that he, above all others, is the greatest villain on earth, and that no foul ditch is foul enough for him to die in, is, possibly, sufficient, it must be acknowledged, to make a man occasionally, now and then, once in a while, a trifle depressed. The melancholy, as Malone would have it, which Enobarbus feels is the very blackest despair.—Ed.]
