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 pa.s.sage 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 pa.s.sing 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 "Exit." This confuses the scene.
p. 335, l. 21 _Re-enter Falatius_. The 4tos omit this stage direction.
p. 337, l. 7 _Galatea"s Apartments_. I have supplied the locale.
p, 337, l. 12 _you were_. 4to 1690 and 1724 "you are".
p. 338, l. 25 _must credit you_. 4to 1671 "faith, I credit you".
p. 339, l. 4 _Erminia, sure you"ll_. 4to 1690 and 1724 "Erminia sure will".
p. 339, l. 14 _the fault_. 4to 1690 and 1724 "my faults".
p. 340, l. 5 _He rises_. I have inserted "He" to make the direction quite clear.
p. 342, l. 5 _The Palace_. I have added the locale.
p. 343, l. 25 _loving me_. 4to 1671 prints an unsatisfactory text:
"none for loving me, for I"m much unlike Lucinda whom you ey"d."
p. 344, l. 28 _The Apartments of Alcippus_. I have added this locale.
p. 344, l. 32 _fear"d_. 4to 1671 "heard".
p. 347, l. 17 _Entering_. I have added this stage direction.
p, 347, l. 30 _a Chamber_. I have inserted the locale.
p. 347, l. 30 _in a dishabit_. All editions save 4to 1671 read "in an undress".
p. 349, l. 5 _appet.i.tes_. 1724 "appet.i.te".
p. 349, l. 12 _Within_. I have supplied this stage direction.
p. 349, l. 20 _took_. 1724 "taken".
p. 351, l. 34 _To Alcip_. This and the following stage direction "To the Prince" are not in 4to 1671.
p. 352, l. 16 _vile_. 4to 1671 omits.
p. 352, l. 25 _or smothers her with a pillow_. This is only found in 4to 1671.
p. 353, l. 21 _Knew_. 4to 1671 "know".
p. 354, l. 6 _has_. 4to 1671 "had".
p. 354, l. 16 _Murder_. 4to 1690 and 1724 "a Murderer".
p. 354, l. 29 _The Palace_. I have supplied the locale.
p. 356, l. 30 _merits not_. 1724 "merits all". A striking misprint.
p. 357, l. l2 _Gonzal_. 4to 1671 "Gen"rall".
p. 357, l. 16 _You once_. 4to 1671 wrongly gives this to the King.
p. 357, l. 19 _And should_. 4to 1671 omits this whole line.
