Here, even when, having substituted with Malone unto to the evident blunder into, one would let pass the hyperbaton instead of having made of his memory such a sinner unto truth, and the less common construction of sin unto for against, there is to boot always in this passage a confusion, increased by it, having no grammatical reference, but the far following lie, and by the anacoluthon who having made. Musgrave therefore and Voss corrected: having sinn'd to truth, by telling oft it Makes etc. But the said difficulties are not removed even by this emendation, and made seems more dramatic, because nearer and more particularly relative to the subject. Therefore one might be tented to read: who having undone truth by failing oft it (or by soiling oft it, or by lying often) Made such a sinner etc. For our part we would yet rather correct, than impute to the poet such a negligence.

Malone: In sorrow wag i.e. to play the wag; ingeniously, but not regarding enough the shakspearean use of the verb, wh. s.; Steevens: And, sorry wag, i. e. unfeeling humorist! to employ a note of festivity, when his sighs ought to express con-anion in the phrase with a wanion, as it cern; Theobald wage; Hanmer and Warburton waive; Tyrwhitt: and sorrow gagge; cry etc. overabsurdly!
