Keightley, Thomas
Drama -- Outlines, syllabi, etc.; Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Outlines, syllabi, etc.
Sense and metre seem to demand the negative.

"And I _of_ thine most truly falsely must needs."
* * * * *
"Notwithstanding the poor and untempering effect of my visage."
I think we should read _untempting_, with Warburton.
* * * * *
"His daughter first, and in _the_ sequel all."
* * * * *
"And thereupon give _unto_ me your daughter."
KING HENRY VI.--PART I.
ACT I.
SC. 1. "Than Julius Cæsar or bright ..."
Johnson proposed _Berenice_; and, though it was her hair and not
herself that was stellified, he may have been right. The punctuation
here given, however, removes all difficulty.
* * * * *
"Guienne, Champaigne, Rheims, Orleans, and _Roan_."
A little lower we have, "Is Paris lost? is Roän yielded up?"
* * * * *
"A third thinks _that_ without expense at all."
The 2nd folio reads 'A third _man_ thinks.'
* * * * *
"He being in the vaward, placed behind."
Most certainly 'vaward' should be '_rear_ward'. Introd. p. 66.
* * * * *
SC. 2. "Otherwhiles the famish'd English like pale ghosts."
Collier's folio reads '_The_ whiles.'
* * * * *
SC. 3. "Villains, answer you the Lord Protector so?"
The folio has 'answer you so.'
* * * * *
"Gloster, we'll meet, _and_ to thy cost, be sure."
* * * * *
"For I intend to have it _off_ ere long."
* * * * *
SC. 5. "Sheep run not half so treacherous from the wolf."
For 'treacherous,' which must be wrong, Pope read _timorous_, Collier's
folio _tremulous_.
* * * * *
SC. 6. "_For_ rescued is Orleans from the English."
The 2nd folio reads 'English _wolves_.'
* * * * *
"Divinest creäture, Astræa's daughter."
The 2nd folio reads _bright_ Astræa's.
* * * * *
"Before the kings and queens of France _for aye_."
ACT II.
SC. 3. "_Lady_, that will I show you presently."
* * * * *
SC. 4. "Or else was wrangling Somerset in the error?"
It should apparently be _right_, not 'error'; as it is a few lines
lower.
* * * * *
SC. 5. "Was for that--young _King_ Richard they remov'd."
* * * * *
"_Un_to King Edward the Third, whëreas he."
* * * * *
"I doubt not but with honour to redress _'em_."
ACT III.
SC. 1. "Am I not _Lord_ Protector, saucy priest?"
* * * * *
"Rome shall this remedy.--Roam thither then."
The folio reads "Rome shall remedy this."
