Page 276. Note line 5. for 1689, read, 1589. 278. Line 22. for 1580, read, 1589. 300. Since all our other sheets were printed off, it has been discovered, that the entry at Stationers' Hall, “Jan 9, 1589,” (see Prefaces, p. 257) was Haywarde's History of K. Henry IV. and not our author's play with the same title. Part of the argument therefore founded by Mr. Malone on the latter supposition (p. 300) must be considered as erroneous, whilst I alone remain answerable for his mistake, which happily does not affect the date allotted by him to the piece in question.

The false quantity in it, however, was sufficiently obvious;
but as such mistakes in prosody are sometimes to be
met with among modern writers of Latin verse, (especially the
Poetæ Italorum,) I passed over the present imperfection, without
pointing it out to the public. Yet perhaps we should read,
with an older copy of this author, printed at Paris in his
lifetime: i. e. quaternio elementorum, the four elements out of which the
universe was made.
