Excerpt from Introduction to an Examination of Some Part of the Internal Evidence, Respecting the Antiquity and Authenticity of Certain Publications, Said to Have Been Found in Manuscripts, at Bristol: Written by a Learned Priest and Others, in the Fifteenth Century; But Generally Considered as the Suppositious Productions of an Ingenious Youth of the Present Age
This little inaccuracy was pointed out to x Dr. Johnson many years since: and from a note in the late edition, it would seem that he had been (although rather awkwardly) half sensible of it. See p. 121. V. V. Johns. And Steev. Edit. Of Shakspeare.
Shakspeare perhaps only meant, so the,leavts involve the flower: using wood bine for the plant, and honey-suckle for the flower; or perhaps Shakspeare made' a blunder. The Doctor has here unluck ily made a second blunder. It is not the leaves that involve the flower, but the ten drils; which, like the tendrils of the vine, catch hold of, and entwist any neighbouring branch of a tree; in want of which they entwist each other or their own branches.
