Note return to page 704 10702001[I] Note I. Dramatis Personæ. Rowe and Pope included in the list of Dramatis Personæ, ‘Innogen, wife to Leonato.’ At the beginning of the first scene the Quarto and the Folios have, ‘Enter Leonato Governour of Messina, Innogen his wife, &c.’ and at the beginning of Act II. Sc. I, ‘Enter Leonato, his brother, his wife, &c.’ But as no reference is made to such a character throughout the play, Theobald was doubtless right in striking the name out. The author probably, as Theobald observed, had designed such a character in his first sketch, and afterwards saw reason to omit it. It is impossible to conceive that Hero's mother should have been present during the scenes in which the happiness and honour of her daughter were at issue, without taking a part, or being once referred to.

Note return to page 705 10702002[II] Note II. I. 1. 124. The punctuation which we have adopted seems to be the only one which will make sense of this passage without altering the text. We must suppose that, during the ‘skirmish of wit’ between Benedick and Beatrice, from line 96 to 123, Don Pedro and Leonato have been talking apart and making arrangements for the visit of the Prince and his friends, the one pressing his hospitable offers and the other, according to the manners of the time, making a show of reluctance to accept them.

Note return to page 706 10702003[III] Note III. I. 1. 182, 183. Johnson was not satisfied with his own conjecture, and supposed something to be omitted relating to Hero's consent or to Claudio's marriage; ‘something which Claudio and Pedro concur in wishing.’

Note return to page 707 10702004[IV] Note IV. I. 2. 1. We take this opportunity of reminding the reader that when no authority is given for the place of the scene, we generally follow the words of Capell. He, however, more frequently expands than alters the directions given by Pope. At the beginning of the next scene he puts, unnecessarily, ‘Another room in Leonato's house.’ The stage was left vacant for an instant, but there is nothing to indicate a change of place.

Note return to page 708 10702005[V] Note V. II. 1. 1. Mr Spedding, in The Gentleman's Magazine, June 1850, proposed to rearrange the Acts thus: Act II. to begin at what is now Act I. Sc. 2, Act III. .............................. Act II. Sc. 3, Act IV. .............................. Act III. Sc. 4, Act V. remaining as it is. We have not felt ourselves at liberty in such cases as this to desert the authority of the Folio.

Note return to page 709 10702006[VI] Note VI. II. 1. Scene, a hall in Leonato's house. It may be doubted whether the author did not intend this scene to take place in the garden rather than within doors. The banquet, of which Don John speaks, line 150, would naturally occupy the hall or great chamber. Don Pedro at the close of the scene says, ‘Go in with me, &c.’ If the dance, at line 135, were intended to be performed before the spectators, the stage might be supposed to represent a smooth lawn as well as the floor of a hall. On the other hand, the word ‘entering,’ at line 70, rather points to the scene as being within doors.

Note return to page 710 10702007[VII] Note VII. II. 1. 67. The conjecture of the MS. corrector of Mr Collier's Folio, which seems to have suggested itself independently to Capell (Notes, Vol. II. p. 121), is supported by a passage in Marston's Insatiate Countesse, Act II. (Vol. III. p. 125, ed. Halliwell): ‘Thinke of me as of the man Whose dancing dayes you see are not yet done. Len. Yet you sinke a pace, sir.’

Note return to page 711 10702008[VIII] Note VIII. II. 1. 87. Mr Halliwell mentions that Mar. is altered to Mask. in the third Folio. This is not the case in Capell's copy of it.

Note return to page 712 10702009[IX] Note IX. II. 1. 218. In the copy before us of Theobald's first edition, which belonged to Warburton, the latter has written ‘Mr Warburton’ after the note in which the reading ‘impassable,’ adopted by Theobald, is suggested and recommended, thus claiming it as his own. We have accepted his authority in this and other instances.

Note return to page 713 10702010[X] Note X. II. 1. 237. bring you the length of Prester John's foot: fetch you a hair off the great Cham's beard. Though ‘of’ and ‘off’ are frequently interchanged in the old copies, yet, as in this place both Quarto and Folios are consistent in reading ‘of’ in the first clause and ‘off’ in the second, we follow them.

Note return to page 714 10702011[XI] Note XI. II. 1. 284. The old copies here give us no help in determining whether Beatrice is meant to cry, ‘Heigh-ho for a husband,’ or merely, ‘Heigh-ho,’ and wish for a husband. Most editors seem by their punctuation to adopt the latter view. We follow Staunton in taking the former. It probably was the burden of a song. At all events it was so well-known as to be almost proverbial. It is again alluded to III. 4. 48.

Note return to page 715 10702012[XII] Note XII. II. 2. 39. The substitution of ‘Borachio’ for ‘Claudio’ does not relieve the difficulty here. Hero's supposed offence would not be enhanced by calling one lover by the name of the other. The word ‘term,’ moreover, is not the one which would be used to signify the calling a person by his own proper name. It is not clearly explained how Margaret could, consistently with the ‘just and virtuous’ character which Borachio claims for her in the fifth act, lend herself to the villain's plot. Perhaps the author meant that Borachio should persuade her to play, as children say, at being Hero and Claudio.

Note return to page 716 10702013[XIII] Note XIII. II. 3. 27–30. wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her. Pope erroneously remarks, ‘these words added out of the edition of 1623.’ They are found in the Quarto, all the Folios, and Rowe. Warburton enhances the blunder by including the next clause also, ‘mild, or come not near me.’

Note return to page 717 10702014[XIV] Note XIV. II. 3. 81. We have adhered to the old stage direction in this place, because it is not certain that any musicians accompanied Balthasar. The direction of the Quarto at line 38, ‘Enter Balthasar with musicke,’ may only mean that the singer had a lute with him. In the direction of the Folios, at line 33, only ‘Jacke Wilson’ is mentioned.

Note return to page 718 10702015[XV] Note XV. II. 3. 225. Mr Halliwell says that we ought to change ‘dinner’ to ‘supper’ here and at line 235, in order to make the action consistent, as we find from line 34 that it is evening: ‘How still the evening is, &c.’ Such inaccuracies are characteristic of Shakespeare, and this cannot well have been due to the printer or copier.

Note return to page 719 10702016[XVI] Note XVI. III. 3. 10. George Seacole. For ‘George’ Mr Halliwell reads ‘Francis.’ But ‘Francis Seacole,’ mentioned III. 5. 52, is the sexton, and, as it would appear, town-clerk also, too high a functionary to be employed as a common watchman. If the same person had been intended, the error would have been analogous to that in the Merry Wives of Windsor, where Master Page is christened ‘Thomas’ in one place and ‘George’ in another.

Note return to page 720 10702017[XVII] Note XVII. III. 3. 115, 116. Here Rowe, contrary to his custom, does not alter ‘a’ into ‘he.’ We do not in all cases notice these perpetually recurring variations.

Note return to page 721 10702018[XVIII] Note XVIII. III. 3. 119. Mr Halliwell says that he has found ‘raine’ for ‘vaine’ in one copy of the first Folio.

Note return to page 722 10702019[XIX] Note XIX. III. 4. 8, 17. The recurrence of this phrase makes it almost certain that the omission of ‘it’ is not a printer's error, but an authentic instance of the omission of the third personal pronoun. So the first, or second, is omitted in III. 4. 51; ‘What means the fool, trow?’ For other instances, see Sidney Walker's Criticisms, Vol. I. p. 77 sqq. And compare note XI, Measure for Measure.12Q0116

Note return to page 723 10702020[XX] Note XX. III. 4. 29. say, ‘saving your reverence, a husband.’ The Quarto and Folios punctuate thus: say, saving your reverence a husband. Modern editions have say, saving your reverence, ‘a husband.’ But surely Margaret means that Hero was so prudish as to think that the mere mention of the word ‘husband’ required an apology.

Note return to page 724 10702021[XXI] Note XXI. IV. 1. 154–157. Hear me...mark'd. This commencement of the Friar's speech comes at the bottom of page, sig. G. i. (r) of the Quarto. The type appears to have been accidentally dislocated, and the passage was then set up as prose. The Folio follows the Quarto except that it puts a full stop instead of a comma after ‘markt.’ Some words were probably lost in the operation, giving the Friar's reason for remaining silent, viz. that he might find out the truth. The whole passage would therefore stand as follows: Hear me a little; for I have only been Silent so long and given way unto This course of fortune..... By noting of the lady I have mark'd, &c. The usual punctuation: And given way unto this course of fortune, By noting of the lady: I have mark'd, &c. makes but indifferent sense. ‘I have only been silent’ may mean ‘I alone have been silent.’

Note return to page 725 10702022[XXII] Note XXII. IV. 2. 1. The Quarto and Folios agree, with slight differences of spelling, in the stage direction given in the note. The Town Clerk is clearly the same functionary as the Sexton mentioned in the second line. The first speech is given in the Quarto and Folios to ‘Keeper’—a misprint for ‘Kemp’—the name of the famous actor who played Dogberry. All the other speeches of Dogberry throughout the scene, except two, are given to ‘Kemp,’ those of Verges to ‘Cowley’ or ‘Couley.’ Both William Kempt (i. e. Kempe or Kemp) and Richard Cowley are mentioned in the list of the ‘Principall Actors’ prefixed to the first Folio. The speech of Dogberry, line 4, is assigned to ‘Andrew,’ which is supposed to be a nickname of Kemp, who so often played the part of ‘Merry Andrew.’ That in lines 14, 15, is given in the Quarto to ‘Ke.’ and in the Folios to ‘Kee.’ or ‘Keep.,’ a repetition of the error in line 1. The retention of these names in the successive printed copies, as well as that of ‘Jack Wilson’ in a former scene, shows the extreme carelessness with which the original MS. had been revised for the press in the first instance, and supplies a measure of the editorial care to which the several Folios were submitted. All that is known about these actors is collected in a volume edited by Mr Collier for the Shakespeare Society.

Note return to page 726 10702023[XXIII] Note XXIII. IV. 2. 63, 64. Verg. Let them be in the hands. Con. Off coxcomb! The reading of the Quarto is ‘Couley. Let them be in the hands of coxcombe.’ In the Folio, ‘Sex.’ is substituted for ‘Couley,’ without materially improving the sense. The first words may be a corruption of a stage direction [Let them bind them] or [Let them bind their hands].

Note return to page 727 10702024[XXIV] Note XXIV. V. 1. 143. We have introduced the words ‘[Aside to Claudio]’, because it appears from what Don Pedro says, line 149, ‘What, a feast, a feast?’ and, from the tone of his banter through the rest of the dialogue, that he had not overheard more than Claudio's reply about ‘good cheer.’

Note return to page 728 10702025[XXV] Note XXV. V. 2. 1. Scene, Leonato's garden. It is clear from line 83, where Ursula says, ‘Yonder's old coil at home,’ that the scene is not supposed to take place in Leonato's house, but out of doors. We have therefore, in this case, deserted our usual authorities, Pope and Capell.

Note return to page 729 10702026[XXVI] Note XXVI. V. 2. 42. The same construction, i. e. the non-repetition of the preposition, is found in Marston's Fawne, Act I. Sc. 2: (Vol. II. p. 24, ed. Halliwell), “With the same stratagem we still are caught.”

Note return to page 1645 10702027[I] Note I. Dramatis Personæ. Biron is spelt ‘Berowne,’ Longaville ‘Longavill,’ in Q1 F1 Q2; Mercade ‘Marcade,’ in Qq Ff. Armado is written sometimes ‘Armatho.’ Mr Grant White suggests that Moth should be written ‘Mote,’ as it was clearly so pronounced. See note (VI).12Q0150 ‘Boyet’ is made to rhyme with ‘debt’ in V. 2. 334; ‘Longaville’ with ‘ill’ in IV. 3. 119, and with ‘mile’ in V. 2. 53; ‘Rosaline’ with ‘thine,’ IV. 3. 217. Costard, in the old stage directions, is called ‘Clown.’

Note return to page 1646 10702028[II] Note II. Mason says, ‘I believe the title of this play should be ‘Love's Labours Lost,’ but it is clear, from the form in which it is written in the running title of Qq F1 F2 ‘Loves Labour's Lost,’ that the full name was intended to be ‘Love's Labour is Lost.’ On the title pages however of Q1 and Q2 it is written respectively ‘Loues labors lost,’ and ‘Loues Labours lost.’ It is called by Meres (1598) ‘Love Labour Lost,’ and by Tofte ‘Love's Labour Lost,’ which is in favour of the ordinary spelling.

Note return to page 1647 10702029[III] Note III. As the scene through the play is in the King of Navarre's park, and as it is perfectly obvious when the action is near the palace and when near the tents of the French princess, we have not thought it necessary to specify the several changes.

Note return to page 1648 10702030[IV] Note IV. I. 1. 23. This is an instance of the lax grammar of the time which permitted the use of a singular pronoun referring to a plural substantive, and vice versa, as in The Two Noble Kinsmen, Act I. Sc. I; ‘You cannot read it there; there, through my tears, Like wrinkled pebbles in a glassy stream, You may behold 'em.’

Note return to page 1649 10702031[V] Note V. I. 1. 110. Singer says that in a copy of F1 which he used, the reading is ‘sit.’

Note return to page 1650 10702032[VI] Note VI. I. 2. 86. There is probably an allusion in the words, ‘for she had a green wit,’ to the ‘green withes,’ with which Samson was bound. In Shakespeare's time, ‘mote’ was frequently written ‘moth,’ as in IV. 3. 157 of this play, and in Much Ado about Nothing (II. 3) the same variety of spelling gives rise to an obscure pun, ‘Note notes, forsooth, and nothing.’ Compare, also, As You Like It, III. 3. 5.

Note return to page 1651 10702033[VII] Note VII. II. 1. 88. We have retained in this passage the reading of the first Quarto, ‘unpeeled,’ in preference to the ‘unpeopled’ of the second Quarto and the Folios, which is evidently only a conjectural emendation, and does not furnish a better sense than many other words which might be proposed. In the same way, in Act III. Sc. I, line 61, we have followed the first Quarto in reading ‘volable’ instead of ‘voluble,’ as it has direct reference to Moth's last words ‘thump, then, and I flee,’ and is in better keeping with the Euphuistic language of the speaker.

Note return to page 1652 10702034[VIII] Note VIII. In II. 1. 114 sqq. the speakers are ‘Berowne’ and ‘Kather.’ in Q1. This is followed by Capell, who justifies it as follows: ‘When the King and his lords enter, the ladies mask, and continue mask'd 'till they go: Biron, while the letter is reading, seeks his mistress; accosts Catharine instead of her, finds his error, and leaves her: the King's exit gives him an opportunity to make another attempt, and he then lights on the right but without knowing her; makes a third by enquiry, and is baffled in that too, for he describes Maria, and is told she is Catharine.’ In this and other scenes the characters are so confused in the old copies that they can be determined only by the context, in this play a very unsafe guide.

Note return to page 1653 10702035[IX] Note IX. II. 1. 212. In this line, as well as in III. 1. 140, 142, &c. and IV. 3. 279, the ‘O’ is superfluous and appears to have crept into the text from the last letter of the stage direction ‘Bero.’ In the first instance in which this occurs the first Quarto stands alone, and the error is corrected in the second Quarto and the Folios, and we have therefore ventured to make the same correction in the other cases.

Note return to page 1654 10702036[X] Note X. III. 1. 186. As ‘wightly,’ in the sense of ‘nimble,’ has no etymological connection with ‘white,’ we have thought it best to retain the spelling which is least likely to mislead.

Note return to page 1655 10702037[XI] Note XI. IV. 2. 27. Which we of taste and feeling are, for those... In Qq Ff this passage stands as follows: ‘which we taste and feeling, are for those parts that do fructify in us more than he,’ except that Q1 F4 put a comma after ‘taste’ and Q2 omits ‘do.’ Theobald, on Warburton's suggestion, reads, ‘parts (which we taste and feel ingradare) that do, &c.’ Hanmer is the first to print it as verse, reading, ‘And such barren plants are set before us, that we thankful should be, For those parts which we taste and feel do fructify in us more than he.’ Johnson proposes, ‘When we taste and feeling are for those parts, &c.’ Tyrwhitt conjectured, ‘Which we of taste and feeling are, &c.’ and is followed by Collier and several modern editors. This reading appears to make the best sense with the least alteration. In Collier MS. we find ‘which we having taste and feeling &c.’

Note return to page 1656 10702038[XII] Note XII. IV. 2. 63, 70, 74. In Qq Ff these three speeches are incorrectly assigned to Nath., Hol. and Nath. respectively, whereas the third evidently belongs to Holofernes. Similarly the speeches beginning with lines 79, 83, 89, 99 are assigned to Nath. instead of Hol., and vice versâ line 99 which properly belongs to Nath. is given to Hol. Again 115–122 and 125–129 are given to Nath. in consequence of which ‘Sir Nathaniel,’ in line 129, was written ‘Sir Holofernes,’ a title to which the pedant had no claim. The mistake probably arose from the stage direction ‘Ped.’ being confounded with ‘Per.,’ that is, Person or Parson. Besides, in line 114, the ‘Ped.’ of F1 is changed in the later folios to ‘Pedro.’

Note return to page 1657 10702039[XIII] Note XIII. IV. 3. 142. In Q1 this line stands at the top of the page. The catch-word on the preceding page is ‘Fayth,’ shewing that the word omitted, whatever it be, was not the first in the line.

Note return to page 1658 10702040[XIV] Note XIV. IV. 3. 178. By the kind permission of the Duke of Devonshire, we have collated the copy of the first Quarto, which is in his Grace's library, with that which is in the Capell collection. Besides the important difference mentioned in the foot-note, the following are found: E. 3. (r) line 5, paper (Capell) p a d e r (Devonshire). E. 3. (v) line 12, corporall (Capell) croporall (Devonshire). I. 3. (r) line 22, then w i (Capell) then w (Devonshire).

Note return to page 1659 10702041[XV] Note XV. IV. 3. 244. Theobald's note is: ‘O word divine! This is the reading of all the editions that I have seen; but both Dr Thirlby and Mr Warburton concurred in reading (as I had likewise conjectured) O word divine!’ ‘Wood,’ however, is the reading of Rowe's first edition. It was perhaps only a happy misprint, as it is altered to ‘word’ in the second.

Note return to page 1660 10702042[XVI] Note XVI. IV. 3. 251. As ‘suiter’ was pronounced and sometimes written ‘shooter’ (IV. 1. 101), so probably ‘suit’ was sometimes written ‘shoote,’ a word easily corrupted into ‘schoole.’

Note return to page 1661 10702043[XVII] Note XVII. IV. 3. 285. Although it is not necessary to omit a syllable on account of the metre, as Mr Sidney Walker seems to have thought, we have adopted one of his conjectures for the reason mentioned in note (IX).12Q0151 A similar error, which has hitherto escaped notice, seems to occur in IV. 2. 83, where the word ‘Of,’ which in the original MS. was part of the stage direction ‘Holof.’, has crept into the text. If this hypothesis be true, it follows that the frequently recurring error of ‘Nath.’ for ‘Hol.’ is not due to the author himself, but to an unskilful corrector.

Note return to page 1662 10702044[XVIII] Note XVIII. IV. 3. 295. Mr Dyce omits lines 295–300, For when would you... true Promethean fire; and lines 308–315, For where is...forsworn our books, which are repeated in substance, and, to some extent verbatim, in the latter part of the speech. There can be no doubt that two drafts of the speech have been blended together, and that the author meant to cancel a portion of it; but as there also can be no doubt that the whole came from his pen, we do not venture to correct the printer's error. We would ‘lose no drop of the immortal man.’ The error is indeed a very instructive one. It goes to prove that the first Quarto was printed from the author's original MS.; that the author had not made a ‘foul copy’ of his work; and that he had not an opportunity of revising the proof sheets as they passed through the press. For the same reason we have retained V. 2. 805–810.

Note return to page 1663 10702045[XIX] Note XIX. IV. 3. 341. We have here retained ‘make,’ because the inaccuracy is so natural, that it probably came from the pen of the author. It escaped correction in all the Quartos and Folios, as well as in Rowe's and Pope's editions.

Note return to page 1664 10702046[XX] Note XX. V. 1. 24, 25. The reading which we have given in the text, and which had occurred to us before we discovered that Capell had hit upon nearly the same conjecture, comes nearer to the words and punctuation of the Quartos and Folios than Theobald's, which, since his time, has been the received reading. Sir Nathaniel is not represented elsewhere as an ignoramus who would be likely to say ‘bone’ for ‘bene.’ Holofernes patronizingly calls him ‘Priscian,’ but, pedagogue-like, will not admit his perfect accuracy. ‘A little scratched’ is a phrase familiar to the schoolmaster, from his daily task of correcting his pupils' ‘latines.’ Capell's conjecture, given in his Notes, Vol. I. p. 44 of the Various Readings, is ‘Nath. Laus Deo bone intelligo. Hol. Bone! bon, fort bon; Priscian.’ In his printed text he follows Theobald. Some corruption is still left in line 22: insanie: ne intelligis. Perhaps we should read insano fare: intelligis...

Note return to page 1665 10702047[XXI] Note XXI. V. 1. 110. There is some corruption in this passage, which cannot with certainty be removed. In the subsequent scene five ‘worthies’ only are presented, viz. Hector by Armado, Pompey by Costard, Alexander by Nathaniel, Hercules by the Page, and Judas Maccabæus by Holofernes.

Note return to page 1666 10702048[XXII] Note XXII. V. 2. 43. Johnson says ‘The former editions read Were pencils,’ and attributes the restoration of Ware to Hanmer. Mr Halliwell repeats the assertion. In reality, all the editions read Ware.

Note return to page 1667 10702049[XXIII] Note XXIII. V. 2. 232. Mr Sidney Walker, in his Criticisms, Vol. II. p. 153, remarks that, ‘and if’ (he means an if) is always in the old plays printed ‘and if.’ Here is an instance to the contrary. See also Mr Lettsom's note, l. c. And, not an, seems to be printed in nine cases out of ten, whatever the following word be.

Note return to page 1668 10702050[XXIV] Note XXIV. V. 2. 247. ‘Dutchman’ here, as usual, means ‘German.’ The word alluded to is ‘Viel,’ a word which would be likely to be known from the frequent use which the sailors from Hamburg or Bremen would have cause to make of the phrase ‘zu viel’ in their bargains with the London shopkeepers.

Note return to page 1669 10702051[XXV] Note XXV. V. 2. 312. Mr Collier says that in some copies of Q1 ‘thither’ is omitted.

Note return to page 1670 10702052[XXVI] Note XXVI. V. 2. 528. The modern editors who have followed Hanmer's reading ‘della,’ in preference to Theobald's ‘de la,’ have forgotten that Armado is a Spaniard, not an Italian.

Note return to page 2398 420. an] om. F3 F4.

Note return to page 2399 10702053[I] Note I. I. 2. 45. It may be questioned whether the true reading is not ‘thisne, thisne;’ that is, ‘in this manner,’ a meaning which ‘thissen’ has in several dialects. See Halliwell's Arch. Dict. ‘So-ne’ is used in the same way in Suffolk.

Note return to page 2400 10702054[II] Note II. III. 1. 2. Capell appears to have considered the reading ‘marvailes’ of Q1 as representing the vulgar pronunciation of ‘marvellous,’ and he therefore printed it ‘marvels,’ as in IV. 1. 23.

Note return to page 2401 10702055[III] Note III. III. 2. 257, 258. In this obscure passage we have thought it best to retain substantially the reading of the Quartos. The Folios, though they alter it, do not remove the difficulty, and we must conclude that some words, perhaps a whole line, have fallen out of the text.

Note return to page 2402 10702056[IV] Note IV. III. 2. 337. We retain the reading of the old copies in preference to Theobald's plausible conjecture. A similar construction occurs in The Tempest, II. 1. 27, ‘which, of he or Adrian, for a good wager, first begins to crow?’

Note return to page 2403 10702057[V] Note V. III. 2. 204. Although Pope's reading of this line was followed by all editors down to Capell it is rendered extremely improbable by the occurrence of the word ‘Have’ at the beginning of the line in all the old copies, and could only have been suggested by what Pope considered the exigencies of the metre. ‘Needles’ may have been pronounced, as Steevens writes it, ‘neelds;’ but, if not, the line is harmonious enough.

Note return to page 2404 10702058[VI] Note VI. IV. 1. 1. Johnson says, ‘I see no good reason why the fourth Act should begin here when there seems no interruption of the action;’ but he does not alter the arrangement of the Folios, which, in the absence of any good reason to the contrary, we also follow.

Note return to page 2405 10702059[VII] Note VII. IV. 1. 8, &c. We have retained throughout this scene the spelling of the old copies ‘Mounsieur,’ as representing a pronunciation more appropriate to Bottom, like ‘Cavalery’ a few lines lower down. We are aware, however, that the word was generally so spelt.

Note return to page 2406 10702060[VIII] Note VIII. V. 1. In the Folios the stage direction is ‘Enter Theseus, Hippolita, Egeus and his Lords,’ and the speeches which properly belong to Philostrate as master of the revels are assigned to Egeus, with the exception of that beginning ‘No, my noble lord, &c.’ In line 38 the Quartos correctly read ‘Philostrate’ where the Folios have ‘Egeus.’ The confusion may have arisen, as Mr Grant White suggests, from the two parts having been originally played by the same actor.

Note return to page 2407 10702061[IX] Note IX. V. 1. 44–60. We have followed the Quartos in assigning this speech to Theseus alone. In the Folios Lysander is represented as reading the ‘brief’ and Theseus as commenting upon it. Theobald first restored the arrangement of the Quartos.

Note return to page 2408 10702062[X] Note X. V. 1. 125. The stage direction of the Folios is ‘Tawyer with a trumpet before them,’ Tawyer being generally understood to be the name of the trumpeter; but Mr Collier, on the strength of a note in the corrected Folio ‘Enter Presenter,’ interprets ‘Tawyer’ as the name of the actor who filled the part of Presenter and introduced the characters of the play.

Note return to page 2409 10702063[XI] Note XI. V. 1. 160. In the Variorum edition of 1821 ‘lime’ is given as the reading of the Folios, and ‘lome’ of the Quartos, the fact being that F1 F2 read ‘loame,’ and F3 F4 ‘loam.’

Note return to page 2410 10702064[XII] Note XII. V. 1. 390–411. This speech, which in the Folios is made ‘The Song,’ was restored by Johnson to Oberon, following the Quartos. He adds, ‘But where then is the song?—I am afraid it is gone after many other things of greater value. The truth is that two songs are lost. The series of the scene is this: after the speech of Puck, Oberon enters, and calls his fairies to a song, which song is apparently wanting in all the copies. Next Titania leads another song which is indeed lost like the former, though the editors have endeavoured to find it. Then Oberon dismisses his fairies to the despatch of the ceremonies. The songs, I suppose, were lost, because they were not inserted in the players' parts, from which the drama was printed.’

Note return to page 2411 10702065[XIII] Note XIII. V. 1. 406, 407. The difficulty in these two lines is at once removed by transposing them, as was suggested by C. R. W. a correspondent in the Illustrated London News. Mr Staunton was at one time inclined to think that ‘Ever shall’ was a corruption of ‘Every hall,’ but he now adheres to the solution above given. Malone incorrectly attributes to Pope the reading which he himself adopts, ‘E'er shall it in safety rest,’ Pope's reading being ‘Ever shall in safety rest’ as in Rowe's second edition.

Note return to page 3257 10702066[I] Note I. Dramatis Personæ. ‘The Actors Names’ were first given in the third Quarto, and repeated in Q4. A new list was given by Rowe. The spelling of the name Salanio varies between ‘Salanio’ and ‘Solanio;’ that of Salarino between ‘Salerino,’ ‘Saleryno,’ ‘Salirino,’ ‘Salino’ and ‘Solarino.’ The preponderance of authority seems to favour the spelling given in our text, and we have not thought it worth while to mention each variation as it occurs. Antonio is spelt throughout ‘Anthonio,’ Balthasar ‘Balthazar’ or ‘Balthazer,’ and Launcelot ‘Launcelet,’ in the old editions. See note (IX).12Q0187

Note return to page 3258 10702067[II] Note II. I. 3. 129. A breed for barren metal. Pope says in a note: ‘The old editions (two of 'em) have it, A bribe of barren metal.’ This reading is not found in any copy that we have seen of Quarto or Folio, or of either edition of Rowe.

Note return to page 3259 10702068[III] Note III. II. 2. 52. Mr Knight remarks ‘this sentence is usually put interrogatively, contrary to the punctuation of all the old copies, which is not to be so utterly despised as the modern editors would pretend.’ Mr Grant White follows Mr Knight, and has a long note justifying the punctuation. Mr Dyce's remark that the sentence is a repetition of the preceding interrogation, at line 42, seems conclusive as to the sense. Nothing is more frequent than the omission of the note of interrogation in the older editions, apparently from a paucity of types.

Note return to page 3260 10702069[IV] Note IV. II. 7. 77. The Folios have ‘Flo. Cornets’ at the beginning of the next scene after ‘Enter Salarino and Solanio.’ Rowe, Pope, Theobald, Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson (ed. 1765) omitted all notice of this stage direction. Capell transferred it to the beginning of Scene 7. Mr Dyce added ‘Cornets’ at the end of the scene also. We have adopted the suggestion, as the Prince's leaving the stage would naturally be accompanied with the same pomp as his entrance.

Note return to page 3261 10702070[V] Note V. II. 8. 42. In the copy of Capell's edition which he gave to Trinity College Library, he has put a comma after ‘mind’ in red ink. Johnson marked the passage with an asterisk as probably corrupt.

Note return to page 3262 10702071[VI] Note VI. II. 9. 68. Mr Staunton in a note to The Taming of the Shrew, Act I. Sc. I, mentions, on Sir F. Madden's authority, that ‘I wis’ is undoubtedly derived from the Saxon adverb ‘gewis,’ but in the thirteenth century ‘ge’ was changed to ‘y’ or ‘i,’ and in the latter end of the fifteenth it was probably held to be equivalent to the German ‘Ich weiss.’ There can be no doubt that Shakespeare spelt it ‘I wis’ and used it as two words, pronoun and verb.

Note return to page 3263 10702072[VII] Note VII. III. 2. 61. Mr Halliwell says that Roberts's Quarto reads then for thou. It is not so in our copy.

Note return to page 3264 10702073[VIII] Note VIII. III. 2. 66. Johnson follows Hanmer in reading ‘Reply’ as a stage direction. It is true that the words ‘Reply, reply’ stand in the margin of the old copies, but they are printed like the song in italics, and seem to be required as part of it by the rhythm and (if we read eye with the Quartos) by the rhyme also. Capell prefixes 1 V. to ‘Tell me, &c.’ and 2 V. to ‘It is engender'd...’ He says that “the words ‘reply, reply’ show it to be a song in two parts or by two voices, followed by a chorus of divers assistant voices which ‘all’ indicates.”

Note return to page 3265 10702074[IX] Note IX. III. 2. 221. We have retained here and throughout the scene the name ‘Salerio,’ which is so spelt consistently in all the old copies. Rowe altered it to ‘Salanio;’ and if the punctuation means anything, the editor of the third Quarto seems to have doubted about the name. Capell, not Steevens as Mr Dyce says, restored ‘Salerio’ in the text, supposing Shakespeare to have used it as an abridgement of ‘Salerino,’ which he put in the stage direction. Mr Dyce thinks with Mr Knight that it is altogether unlikely that Shakespeare would, without necessity and in violation of dramatic propriety, introduce a new character, ‘Salerio,’ in addition to Salanio and Salerino. Tried by this standard Shakespeare's violations of dramatic propriety are frequent indeed, and it is no part of an Editor's duty to correct them. In the next scene Q2 Q3 Q4 have ‘Salerio,’ altered in the Folios to ‘Solanio;’ for clearly it cannot be the same person as the messenger to Belmont; and in IV. 1. 15. the same Quartos make ‘Salerio’ the speaker, while Q1 and the Folios have merely ‘Sal.’

Note return to page 3266 10702075[X] Note X. III. 4. 72. I could not do withal. In Florio's Giardino di Ricreatione, p. 9, ed. 1591, the Italian ‘Io non saprei farci altro’ is rendered into English ‘I cannot doo with all;’ and the phrase occurs several times in the same book, meaning always ‘I cannot help it.’

Note return to page 3267 10702076[XI] Note XI. IV. 1. 50. Mr Knight attributes the reading ‘Mistress of...’ to Steevens from the conjecture of Waldron. It was really first adopted by Capell from the conjecture of ‘the ingenious Dr Thirlby.’ Mr Staunton says that in line 51 F1 omits ‘it;’ but this is not the case in our copy.

Note return to page 3268 10702077[XII] Note XII. IV. 1. 56. We have retained the reading ‘woollen’ as it gives a meaning not altogether absurd. In an illuminated copy of an Office de la Vierge in the library of Trinity College there is a representation of a bagpipe which appears to be of sheepskin with the wool on. We incline however to think that Capell's conjecture ‘wawling’ approaches nearest to the truth.

Note return to page 3269 10702078[XIII] Note XIII. IV. 1. 74. In the Duke of Devonshire's copy of Heyes's Quarto (our Q2) the passage runs thus: ‘well use question with the Woolfe, the Ewe bleake for the Lambe.’ Lord Ellesmere's copy agrees with Capell's literatim, and reads, not ‘bleat,’ as Mr Collier says, but ‘bleake.’ Mr Halliwell says that line 74, Why...lamb, is omitted in one copy of Heyes's Quarto which he has seen, but that it is found in three other copies.

Note return to page 3915 10702081[I] Note I. Le Beau is so called in F1 on his first entrance, afterwards always ‘Le Beu.’ The banished Duke is called Duke Senior in the stage directions. Rosalind is spelt indifferently thus and ‘Rosaline.’ Rowe, in his second edition, besides ‘Touchstone’ and ‘William,’ introduced among the Dramatis Personæ ‘A clown in love with Audrey.’ He was followed by Pope, Theobald, Hanmer, and Warburton. Johnson struck it out.

Note return to page 3916 10702082[II] Note II. I. 1. 46. The correction revenues for reverence has been made in MS. by some unknown hand in Capell's copy of the third Folio. The writing somewhat resembles Warburton's.

Note return to page 3917 10702083[III] Note III. I. 2. 79. There can be no doubt that the words ‘wise men’ here printed as two, in obedience to modern usage, were frequently in Shakespeare's time written and pronounced as one word, with the accent on the first syllable, as ‘madman’ is still. See Sidney Walker's Criticisms, Vol. II. p. 139.

Note return to page 3918 10702084[IV] Note IV. I. 2. 147, 149. It does not seem necessary to make any change in the text here. Perhaps Shakespeare wrote the prose parts of the play hastily, or it may be that Orlando, who is summoned by Celia, but whose thoughts are fixed upon Rosalind, is made to say ‘them,’ not ‘her,’ designedly.

Note return to page 3919 10702085[V] Note V. I. 2. 181. Before we were aware of Mason's conjecture, it occurred to us that the sentence would run better thus: ‘An you mean to mock me after, you should not have mocked me before.’ ‘And,’ for ‘an,’ is a more probable reading than ‘if,’ as it may have been omitted by the printer, who mistook it for part of the stage direction—‘Orl. and’ for ‘Orland.’ We have since discovered that Theobald proposed ‘An.’

Note return to page 3920 10702086[VI] Note VI. I. 3. 92. See a discussion as to the proper punctuation and meaning of the words ‘No, hath not?’ in Notes and Queries, 1st Ser. Vol. VII. p. 520, and in Mr Singer's note on this passage. It may be doubted whether the passages quoted by Mr Grant White are apposite to this, where there is a double negative.

Note return to page 3921 10702087[VII] Note VII. III. 2. 317. In the fourth Folio, and in Rowe's two editions, the word ‘kindled’ happens to be in two lines, and therefore divided by a hyphen. Pope, misled by this, printed it in his first edition as a compound, ‘kind-led,’ interpreting it probably with reference to the gregarious habits of the animal in question.

Note return to page 3922 10702088[VIII] Note VIII. III. 3. 80–83. Johnson proposes to arrange these lines as follows: Clo. ... Come, sweet Audrey; we must be married, or we must live in bawdry. Jaq. Go thou with me, and let me counsel thee. [They whisper. Clo. Farewell, &c.

Note return to page 3923 10702089[IX] Note IX. III. 4. 38. As the word ‘puisny’ is here used not in the modern sense of ‘diminutive,’ but in the now obsolete sense of ‘inferior, unskilled,’ we think it better to retain the spelling of the Folios.

Note return to page 3924 10702090[X] Note X. IV. 2. 12. The words ‘Then sing him home, the rest shall beare this burthen’ are printed in the Folios as part of the song. Rowe and Pope made no change. Theobald first gave ‘the rest shall bear this burthen’ as a stage direction. Mr Knight, Mr Collier, Mr Grant White and Mr Dyce take the whole to be a stage direction, Mr Grant White reading ‘They sing him home,’ for ‘Then.......’ Mr Halliwell prints ‘Then sing him home, the rest shall bear—This burthen.’ Mr Knight gives in a note the music written for this song by Hilton, and published in 1652. In Hilton's setting, the words ‘Then sing him home, &c.’ are left out, but that, as Mr Knight implies, is not conclusive as to the original song. Capell's arrangement is as follows: 1 V. What......deer? 2 V. His.........wear. 1 V. Then ......home. BOTH. Take ......born. 1 V. Thy ........wore it. 2 V. And ........bore it. CHO. The horn......scorn.

Note return to page 3925 10702091[XI] Note XI. IV. 3. 164. Malone wrongly attributes the reading ‘Sir’ for ‘Sirra’ to the second Folio.

Note return to page 3926 10702092[XII] Note XII. V. 3. 17. The Edinburgh MS. mentioned in our footnotes is one in the Advocates' Library (fol. 18), and the song has been reprinted from it in Chappell's Collection of National English Airs, ed. 1840, p. 130.
