* * * * * "Yes, my _good_ lord, her father is a king." * * * * * "_The_ most of all these reasons bindeth." * * * * * "Whëreas the contráry bringeth bliss." The 2nd folio reads 'bringeth forth.' KING HENRY VI.--PART II. ACT I. SC. 1. "They please us well. Lord Marquess, kneel _thee_ down." * * * * * "And hath his Highness in his infancy _Been_ crowned in Paris, in despight of foes?" Capell also added _Been_. * * * * * SC. 3. "That my mistress was? No forsooth." For 'mistress' Malone very properly read _master_. (See on Tam. of Shr. i. 2.) In the Contention the only word used here is _master_. * * * * * "God and King Henry govern England's realm. Give up your staff, sir, and the King his realm." One of these 'realms' must be wrong. (Introd. p. 60.) Johnson proposed _helm_ for the first; I make that change in the second. "And you yourself shall steer the happy _helm_" (i. 3). * * * * * "She's tickled now; her fume _now_ needs no spurs, She'll gallop fast enough to her destruction." The 2nd folio reads '_can_ need'; 'fast' is Pope's correction for _far_ of the folio. ACT II. SC. 1. "_For_ with such holiness you can do it." In 'The Contention,' etc., 4to, it is _dote_ for 'do it'; the folio reads 'can you.' * * * * * "_For_ to present your Highness with the man." * * * * * "How cam'st thou so?--A fall _from_ off a tree." * * * * * "Then, Saunder, sit _thee_ there, the lyingest knave." * * * * * "And would you not think it to be great cunning?" The folio reads "it cunning to be great." * * * * * "_Alas_, alas! sir, we did it for pure need." * * * * * "_Un_til they come to Berwick, whence they came." * * * * * SC. 2. "My lord, I long to hear it at full _length_." * * * * * "Father, the Duke has told the truth _in this_." * * * * * SC. 3. "Despatch; _for_ this knave's tongue begins to double." * * * * * "Go, _and_ take hence this traitor from our sight." ACT III. SC. 1. "And in his simple show he harbours treason." The proper place of this line is at the end of the speech, where I have placed it in my Edition. It then, it will be seen, refers to the fox, and the preceding line to the brook. * * * * * "That you will clear yourself from all suspense." Capell and Collier's folio read _suspect_. * * * * *
