Orgulius, Orguilious; Falatius, Falatio; Cleontius, Cleontious in
the Dramatis Personae, but in the text I have spelled these names
throughout following 1724. It may here be noted that the 1671 quarto
swarms with errors and typographical mistakes. It is vilely printed and
seemingly issued from the press almost without revision.
p. 288, l. 2 _The Palace_. I have added the locale.
p. 289, l. 5 _Bravery_. 4to 1671. 4to 1690 and 1724 'Virtue'.
p. 289, l. 11 _Alcippus_. 4to 1671 prints 'Alcip.' as a speech-prefix.
An obvious blunder.
p. 289, l. 18 _Gift_. 4to 1671 misreads 'Guilt'.
p. 290, l. 11 _added little_. 1724 'added a little'.
p. 290, l. 19 _hated_. 4to 1690 and 1724 'hate'.
p. 292, l. 9 _who_. 4to 1671 'whom'.
p. 295, l. 5 _pretends_. 4to 1671 'pretend'.
p. 295, l. 31 _thee most fatal proofs_. 1724 'the most fatal proof'.
p. 296, l. 18 _There was so_. Following quartos I have printed these
lines (which 1724 gives as prose) metrically, although I confess the
result is not satisfactory.
p. 297, l. 1 _Galatea's Apartments_. I have added this locale.
p. 298, l. 9 _first_. Not in 4to 1671.
p. 298, l. 29 _Sighing_. Not in 4to 1671.
p. 299, l. 30 _Madam, that grief_. This speech, which all previous
editions give to Erminia, I have assigned to Aminta. I am, however, not
entirely satisfied that a speech of Galatea's has not dropped out here
(the first quarto is notoriously careless), and in this case the speech
may well be Erminia's.
p. 300, l. 14 _sworn_. 4to 1690 and 1724, which I retain as better than
1671 'vow'd'.
p. 300, l. 24 _won_. 4to 1690 and 1724, which I have preferred to 1671
'mov'd'.
p. 301, l. 1 _A room in the house_. I have added this locale.
p. 303, l. 29 _and Isil_. I have added Isillia's exit.
p. 303, l. 30 _Philanders Apartments_. I have added the locale.
p. 305, l. 14 _The Representation of the Wedding_. This line is not in
1724.
p. 305, l. 15 _must be let down ... must play_. 1724 'is let down ...
plays.'
p. 305, l. 29 _The Palace_. I have added this locale.
p. 306, l. 22 _th'Almighty_. 4to 1671 'i'th' Almighty'.
p. 307, l. 31 _needs_. 4to 1671 'need'. 1690 'needs't'.
p. 309, l. 1 _The Court Gallery_. I have added this locale.
p. 309, l. 8 _That sad tone_. I have followed the quartos in their
metrical arrangement of this speech. 1724 gives it as prose. The same
rule has been observed l.21, 'Am. Nay thou hast ...'
p. 310, l. 31 _Not so well_. In
