unmarked in former
editions. Dick obviously does not remain on the stage as his entrance is
marked later.
p. 239, l. 14 _Aside, turns_. 1724 omits 'turns'.
p. 240, l. 29 _Scene VI_. I have numbered this scene.
p. 241, l. 28 _Aside_. Not in 4to 1687. But marked in 1724.
p. 243, l. 18 _Exeunt_. This stage direction is in no previous edition.
p. 244, ll. 28-36 _I am sorry ... Jewel, Sir_. Previous editions as
prose.
p. 245, l. 5 _Where had_ ... Previous editions print as prose.
p. 246, l. 1 _rivell'd_. 4to 1687. All later editions 'shrivel'd', which
is by no means as good.
p. 246, l. 2 _Ladles_. 1724 misprints 'Ladies',
p. 248, l. 31 _amended_. 1724 'mended'.
p. 249, l. 2 _Dinner in_. 1724 'Dinner at'.
p. 255, l. 27 _wou'd but stand_. 1724 omits 'but'.
p. 259, l. 13 _Exit_. I have added this stage direction. 4to 1687 reads
'The End of the Fourth Act.'
p. 260, l. 17 _Scene II_. I have numbered this scene,
p. 263, l. 14 _Scene III_. 4to and 1724 'Scene II.'
p. 264, l. 21 _attend_. 1724 'intend.'
p. 265, l. 31 _Soft Musick ceases_. I put this stage direction here,
following 4to 1687. 1724 inserts it after the Song, which is not
so well.
p. 266, l. 20 _Scene IV_. I have numbered this scene.
p. 267, l. 1 _Yet you may_. I have arranged the whole speech metrically.
1687 prints to 'April Flow'rs' as prose. 1724 prints to 'gather'
as prose.
p. 267, l. 19 _Sir_. Omitted in 1724.
p. 268, l. 11 _But leave_. I have arranged metrically. Previous editions
prose.
p. 269, l. 29 _With all my Soul_. 4to 1687 gives an '[Aside' to Gayman's
speech. This is an obvious error.
p. 270, l. 12 _Scene V_. I have numbered this and the two following
scenes.
p. 271, l. 20 _he have not_. 1724 'he has not'.
p. 27l, l. 31 _Oh! You_. I have arranged metrically. Previous editions
prose.
p. 274, l. 3 _Life's_. 4to 1687 'Lives'. P. 275, l. 24 _Enter Leticia,
Bellmour, and Phillis_. I have added this necessary direction which is
in no former edition.
p. 278, l. 20 _An After Math_. 4to 1687 reads 'An After Mach'. 1724 'An
after Match'. As neither of these forms are found, the 4to seems an
obvious misprint for 'After Math'.
p. 278, l. 25 _whiffling_. 1724 'whistling'.
THE FORC'D MARRIAGE.
p. 286, l. 15 _Enter an Actress_. Omitted in 4to 1671.
p. 287 _Dramatis Personae_. I have added to the list 'Page to _Pisaro_;
Clergy; Officers;' and have named Lysette from Act iii, v. 4to 1671
