Recently Recovered "Lost" Tudor Plays with some others
English drama -- Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600; Interludes, English; Moralities, English
thee as a _servant_" (52,_b_), original _servand_--"As _far_ as"
(57,_d_), original _for_--"And let thy _word_ be _cousin_ to
thy deed" (59,_a_), original _world_ ... _consyn_--"_See_ that
ye commit" (59,_b_), original _So_--"to every man's _guise_"
(60,_b_), original _ges_--"my chief _counsellor_" (60,_c_),
original _conselour_--"_Sens._ Lord! ye say well" (61,_b_),
between this and the previous line Dr. Brandl points out that
a line has been dropped, but there is no break in the original
copy--"To put him_self_" (61,_c_), in original _selse_--"[_He
goeth out...._]" (64,_d_), considerable confusion exists in the
original from this point to the end of the next page. The lines
beginning "Worldly Affection," "Come hither!" are assigned to
_The World_, whereas it is clear that _The World_ goes out, and
_Mankind_, calling to _Worldly_ _Affection_ (who comes in),
continues his speech, addressing the new comer. From this point
the speeches now given, rightly I think, to _Worldly_ _Affection_
are in original to _The World_, except the last on page 65,
which appears as a continuation of _Mankind's_ speech. I may
remark that Dr. Brandl differs--"[_Pride_]. Who dwelleth here"
(66,_c_), in original _Pry. Co._--"worn gilt _spurs_ ... cutted
_whores_" (66,_d_), original _sperys_ ... _horys_--"How say ye,
_sirs_" (67,_a_), original _syrst_: Brandl suggests reading
_fyrst_--"_Allez ... vous avant!_" (69,_c_), original _Ale
seygniour ale vouse auant_"--"judge in common _pleas_" (71,_c_),
original, _place_--"Sir! bid him welcome," etc. (72,_b_), in
original the catch-cue to "_Sens._" is repeated here; the present
interpolated "direction" makes the action clear--_Man._ Me?"
(73,_a_), in original _Man._ is misprinted as part of text, _Man
me?_--"The _world_ told me" (73,_c_), read _World_--"Where they
_shall_" (93,_b_), original misprinted _shalbe_--"Sirs, God speed
_ye_!" (112,_d_), original _you_--"[_A line has been shaved away
at the_ _foot of the page_]" (112,_d_), this is now restored from
the Quaritch fragment, "_Had I set a done_ (= adown) _my gear_."
A line similarly shaved off at 114,_a_ is also restored by "I
_wene he wyll be dede_"--"great _scorn_ and disdain" (120,_c_),
original _storn_--"mind and good _will_" (121,_b_), Dr. Brandl
suggests reading _lust_--"to the uttermost" (122,_d_), Dr. Brandl
suggests _uttermest_--"He _speaketh_ sometime" (126,_a_), so
in original, Dr. Brandl prints _seeketh_--"[_Help_] to reform"
(128,_d_), this word is cut away at the foot of the page: the
same mishap has occurred at "in this case" (130,_a_).
NE, "_ne_ would" (N124,_a_), not, neither.
NEAT, "a horse and a _neat_" (M26,_c_), an ox, bullock, cow,
heifer: now rare.
NEC, "_nec_ in hasta," etc. (M18,_c_), see 1 Reg. xvii. 47--"Non in
gladio, _nec_ in hasta...."
