[145] The reply of 1 _Cap_., extending to thirteen lines, has been scored through in the MS., at the instance, I suppose, of the censorious Master of the Revels; it is, unfortunately, quite illegible. [146] The MS. reads "_Enter Barnavelt, Modes-bargen, Leidenberck_, Vandermetten, _Grotius_, Taurinus, Utenbogart, _Hogebeets_." Names not in italics are scored through. [147] MS. Tau. _Hog_. [148] All the characters remain on the stage in spite of this direction. [149] At first the line ran, "Of this proud _Prince of Orange_, at the worst." [150] MS. _Enter Pr. of Orange, Gr: Henrie, Gra: William, Collonells & Captaines. Gr: Henrie_ and _Collonells_ are scored through. In the right-hand margin is written the name of an actor, _Mr. Rob:_ [151] The words "I feele too" probably belong to another speaker. [152] Fletcher is fond of using "ye" for "you." [153] In the MS. there is a marginal note:--"I like not this: neither do I think that the pr. was thus disgracefully used, besides he is to much presented. G.B." The initials are those of Sir George Buc, Master of the Revels. [154] "Shellain" is a corrupted form of Dutch _schelm_--a rogue, villain. [155] The stage direction in the MS. runs thus:--"_Enter 1 Burger, Vandermitten, Grotius." Vandermitten_ finally takes the place of 1 _Burger_ and _Grotius_. [156] Beneath, in the MS., is written the name of the actor who took the part, "Mr. Gough." [157] In the right-hand margin are written the initials "R.T." It is unknown what actor was the owner of them. [158] "Jo: Ri:" is written above, and "migh" in the right-hand margin. [159] "Mr. Rob." took the Captain's part. [160] This Captain is identical with the one in the previous scene: "Jo: Rice:" took the part. [161] In the MS. _Vandermitten_ is scored through, and _Grotius_ written above; but the alteration is not followed afterwards. [162] "R.T." was responsible for the part. [163] In the right-hand margin are the initials "T.P.," i.e. Thomas Pollard. [164] In the right hand margin is a stage-direction, scored through,-- "Droms--Enter ye Arminians: pass over." [165] MS. _Enter Bredero, Vandort_ and 2 Lords. The words in Roman letters are scored through in the MS. [166] The brackets are mine: whoever excluded the 2 _Lords_ left these words standing by an oversight. [167] These weak endings without a pause are characteristic of Massinger. [168] Massinger is fond of the use of parentheses. [169] In the MS. _Leiden_ has been corrected into _Roterdam_. [170] The officer was personated by "R.T." [171] In the right-hand margin we find "Mr. Rice." [172] The Captains' parts were taken by "Mr. Rob." and "Mighel." [173] The Dutch word _knol_ signifies both a turnip and a blockhead. [174] i.e. explain to me. (A very common expression.) [175] "Fry" has here the unusual sense of "buzz, hiss." [176] In the right-hand margin we find "Cap. Jo: R." [177] Underneath is written Migh. who took the part of 1 _Huntsman_.
