this speech and also p. 311, l. 1 I
have followed the metrical arrangement of the 4tos. 1724 prints as
prose.
p. 312, l. 9 _Ex_. 4to 1671 'goes out.'
p. 312, l. 13 _Exeunt_. 4to 1671 'go out.'
p. 312, l, 14 _'Tis the most_. I have followed the two quartos in
their arrangement of these lines, which, none the less, seems far
from satisfactory. 1724 prints as prose.
p. 313, l. 10 _Erminia_. 4to 1671 omits.
p. 313, l. 28 _She weeps_. Not in 4to 1671, but in 4to 1690 and in 1724.
p. 313, l. 35 _Prince his word_. 4to 1690 and 1724 'Prince's word'.
p. 315, l. 10 _Thou would'st allow_. This is the reading of 4to 1690 and
of 1724. 4to 1671 reads 'I should allow what I deny thee here.'
p. 316, l. 31 _Philander's Bed-chamber_. I have added the locale.
p. 317, l. 25 _marry other_. 1724 'marry any other'.
p. 320, l. 5 _an ignorant_. This is the reading of the 4tos. I take
'ignorant' as the obsolete substantive. 1724 omits 'an'.
p. 320, l. 9 _Enter Lysette_. 1724 has 'Enter a Maid', but gives speech
prefix 'Lyc.', spelling Lysette, Lycette.
p. 320, l. 12 _I cry your Lordship's_. I have followed the 4tos in the
metrical arrangement of this speech. 1724 prints as prose.
p. 320, l. 15 _She goes in_. 1724 'She goes out.'
p. 320, l. 21 _I fell asleep_. So 4tos. 1724 as prose.
p. 321, l. 28 _Shepherdess_. 4tos and 1724 punctuate 'Shepherdess,'. It
has been suggested that the passage be punctuated with a full stop at
'call.' and continue 'Ah, cruel' with the punctuation of former
editions retained.
p. 323, l. 8 _he has_. 4to 1671 'it has'.
p. 323, l. 14 _The Court Gallery_. I have supplied this locale.
p. 326, l. 21 _The apartments of Alcippus_. I have supplied this locale.
p. 327, l. 26 _And I so strangely_. 4to 1671 omits 'I'.
p. 330, l. 23 _The Palace_. I have supplied this locale. 1724 misprints
Scene IV.
p. 330, l. 24 _as passing by_. Omitted by 1724.
p. 331, l. 23 _Railly_. 1724 prints this speech as prose.
p. 332, l. 29 _beholding_. 1724 'beholden'.
p. 332, l. 32 _Fal. That's too much_. Following the 4tos I have arranged
all the speeches of Falatius, which 1724 gives as prose, metrically. The
result is, it must be confessed, not entirely satisfactory in places.
p. 334, l. 25 _Farewell_. 4tos and 1724 all print 'For well'.
p. 334, l. 34 _Sees Pisaro_. 1724 omitting 'sees' makes a poor
alteration in the conduct of this business.
p. 335, l. 20 _Exit Pis_. Former editions simply
