Act V Sc. 1
“And never shall you see that I shall beg
A ragged and forestall’d remission.”
This last line is difficult. By ‘ragged’ seems to be meant mean, unworthy, paltry; or it may be the same as rugged, and denote the roughness with which his application would be received; and by ‘forestall’d’ what has been anticipated, prevented by the efforts of his enemies. Massinger uses forestall’d remission twice apparently in this sense: Duke of Milan, iii. 1, Bondman, iii. 4.
“’Tis all in every part.”
I think Warburton may have been right in reading “’Tis all in all, and all in every part.” “Some say she’s all in all, and all in every part” (Davis, Nosce Teipsum); “she’s all in all, and all in every part” (Drayton, Mortim. 1596); “tota in toto, et tota in qualibet parte” (Phœnix Nest, 1593)—all of the soul. Shakespeare may have read most or all of these passages.
