[Footnote III.87: _I could interpret between you and your love, if I could see the puppets dallying._] This refers to the interpreter, who formerly sat on the stage at all _puppet shows_, and explained to the audience. _The puppets dallying_ are here made to signify to the agitations of Ophelia's bosom.]
