APPENDIX XIX By the kindness of Mr. Edmund Gosse I have been enabled to examine and collate the manuscript notes in copies of the first quartos of the following plays in his possession: _The Duke of Milan_, _The Bondman_, _The Roman Actor_, _The Renegado_, _The Picture_, _The Fatal Dowry_, _The Emperor of the East_, _The Maid of Honour_. The dates of these quartos range from 1623 to 1632. The poet Swinburne had no doubt that the manuscript notes were due to Massinger himself; the resemblance of the handwriting is certainly indubitable, but as we have no other evidence than that of the corrections themselves, we are forced to be content with the conclusion that the insertions are of a contemporary date. I take the plays in the above order. _The Duke of Milan_ I., 1, 23.—This, the last line on the page, has suffered from the binding, and is written in the margin.(588) I., 1, 56.—The same thing has happened here. In both cases the writing resembles that of the poet. It may be argued, on the other hand, that it is unlikely that the play should have suffered so soon from binding; it is, however, of course not impossible that the eight plays were bound up together shortly after the year 1632. V., 2, 203.—Forza. S. inserted before F. (So _infra_, 218, 234, 256.) At the end of the play occurs a symbol M which might represent the poet’s initial. _The Bondman_ I., 1: Timagorus bis in stage-directions, us corrected to as and also in I., 1,5 I., 1, 37: I love live I., 2, 2: I cannot brooke with this gadding I., 3, 83: As to the supreame Magistrates Sicilie surely tenders " 161: And yet the chu rl added " 181: made glorious by Achon Action " 182: gave warrant to her ailes added couns " 183: hand heard " 206: nor defence noe " 295: ? at end ? deleted " 319: of slaves our II., 1, 71: fam’d fann’d " 87: vayle y deleted " 144: loose both sent and th inserted after beauty “loose,” and c in “sent” " 153: owe awe II., 2, 16: manners; yet this morning for " 57: cunning coḿinge " 62: ? added III., 3, 99: too too large second “too” deleted
