Yellowness is changed by Pope to \"jealousies;\" but as\nJohnson notes, \"■yellowness is jealousy.\" Cf. W. T. ii. 3. 107: \"no\nyellow in it.\" The revolt of mine is apparently Nym's \" humour \"\nfor my revolt ; but the commentators have changed it in various\nways to make it less fantastical.\nScene IV. — 4.
