Uribassa] In this scene, but only here, the old eds. have "Upibassa."] [Footnote 5: Almains, Rutters] RUTTERS are properly--German troopers, (REITER, REUTER). In the third speech after the present one this line is repeated VERBATIM: but in the first scene of our author's FAUSTUS we have,-- "Like ALMAIN RUTTERS with their horsemen's staves."] [Footnote 6: ORCANES.] Omitted in the old eds.] [Footnote 7: hugy] i.e. huge.] [Footnote 8: cut the] So the 8vo.--The 4to "out of."] [Footnote 9: champion] i.e. champaign.] [Footnote 10: Terrene] i.e. Mediterranean (but the Danube falls into the Black Sea.)] [Footnote 11: Cairo] Old eds. "Cairon:" but they are not consistent in the spelling of this name; afterwards (p. 45, sec. col.) [See note 29.] they have "Cario."] [Footnote 12: Fear] i.e. frighten.] [Footnote 13: Sorians] So the 4to.--Here the 8vo has "Syrians"; but elsewhere in this SEC. PART of the play it agrees with the 4to in having "Sorians," and "Soria" (which occurs repeatedly,--the King of SORIA being one of the characters).--Compare Jonson's FOX, act iv. sc. 1; "whether a ship, Newly arriv'd from SORIA, or from Any suspected part of all the Levant, Be guilty of the plague," &c.

Hence the Italians formed their SORIA."] [Footnote 14: black] So the 8vo.--The 4to "AND black."] [Footnote 15: Egyptians, Illyrians, Thracians, and Bithynians] So the 8vo (except that by a misprint it gives "Illicians").-- The 4to has,-- "Egyptians, FREDERICK. And we from Europe to the same intent Illirians, Thracians, and Bithynians"; a line which belongs to a later part of the scene (see next col.) being unaccountably inserted here. (See note 21.)] [Footnote 16: plage] i.e. region. So the 8vo.--The 4to "Place."] [Footnote 17: viceroy] So the 8vo.--The 4to "Vice-royes."] [Footnote 18: Boheme] i.e. Bohemia.] [Footnote 19: Bagdet's] So the 8vo in act v. sc. 1. Here it has "Badgeths": the 4to "Baieths."] [Footnote 20: parle] So the 8vo.--Here the 4to "parley," but before, repeatedly, "parle."] [Footnote 21: FREDERICK. And we from Europe, t
