But was in blood too blame–The expression too blame was not unusual in old writers. NARES has illustrated it from Shakespeare, Heywood, and others. Our modern phrase that a person is to blame, i. e. to be blamed, is a modification of this old form too blame, i. e. too blameable. See Shakespeare, I Henry IV. III. 1.
