Which end o'the beam she'd bow.] Weigh'd means deliberated. It is used in nearly the same sense in Love's Labour Lost, and in Hamlet. The old copy reads should bow. Should, was, probably, an abbreviation of she would, the mark of elision being inadvertently omitted [sh'ould]. Thus, he has, is frequently exhibited in the first folio-h'as. Mr. Pope corrected the passage, thus: "at which end the beam should bow." But omission of any word in the old copy, without substituting another in its place, is seldom safe, except in those instances, where the repeated word appears to have been caught by the compositor's eye, glancing on the line above or below, or where a word is printed twice in the same line. Malone.

2 Than we bring men to comfort them:] It does not clearly appear whether the king and these lords thought the ship lost. This passage seems to imply, that they were, themselves, confident of returning, but imagined part of the fleet destroyed. Why, indeed, should Sebastian plot against his brother, in the following scene, unless he knew how to find the kingdom, which he was to inherit! Johnson.
