Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following Shakespeare’s verses?

It is a mind
That shall remain a poison where it is,
Not poison any further.

Shall remain!
Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Mark you His absolute “shall”? (Shakespeare’s “Coridanus”)

a Triton among (of) the minnows = a giant among the dwarfs

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V
