Dr. Warburton changes the structure of 
the second line in the following manner : 
¢* than to rejoice the former queen? This 
will.” And Dr. Johnson so far counte- 
nances this strange alteration, as to say, 
“it is plausible, and such as we may wish 
the author had chosen.” ‘ What, (says 
Dion,) were more holy in the present 
state of things, than, instead of repining to 
rejoice that the former queen is released 
from her troubles? Instead of wishing 
her sainted spirit again to possess her 
corpse,” as it is subsequently expressed, 
what can be holier than, for royalty’s re- 
pair, to fill up the vacancy in the bed of 
majesty with a partner worthy of it. 
When the sense is so plain, why indulge 
this propensity to innoyation or gmend- 
ment?
