wak'd halfe dead with nothing Malone: Unless the two preceding lines be considered as parenthetical, here is another instance of our author's concluding a sentence as if the former part had been constructed differently. ‘We have been down’ must be considered as if he had written, I have been down with you, in my sleep, and wak'd, &c.—Keightley (Expositor, p. 370): [After ‘nothing’] there is apparently a line lost; or there is an aposiopesis.—W. A. Wright: The construction of the sentence goes back to l. 128, ‘I have nightly since,’ etc., as if ‘We have been down . . . throat’ were in a parenthesis.
