SC. 2. "I thank thee, Nell; these words content me much." So the name was written evidently by the poet, and _Elianor_ in a following speech of the Queen's. As _Margaret_ had only occurred in the beginning of the play, and she is always simply _Queen_, Shakespeare, when making the additions, had probably forgotten her real name. Editors are therefore not justified in making alterations. * * * * * "Of ashy semblance, meagre, pale, and bloodless, Being all descended to the labouring heart." There is evidently a line lost between these. * * * * * "Madam, be still! with reverence may I say _it_." So it is given in The Contention. * * * * * "Myself no joy in nought, but that thou livest." For 'no' Collier's folio reads _to_, which seems to be right. ACT IV. SC. 1. "Yes, Poole.--Poole?--Poole, sir Poole, lord _Poole_." * * * * * "Jove sometime went disguis'd, and why not I?" This line, so essential to the sense, is not in the folio; to obtain it recourse has been had to The Contention. * * * * * "As hating thee, are rising up in arms." For 'are,' Rowe's correction, the folio has _and_. * * * * * "Advance our half-fac'd sun, striving to shine." For 'our' we should read _a_ or _an_; for the Captain does not seem to have had any connexion with the House of York. See on Hen. V. ii. Chor. * * * * * "Exempt is true nobility from fear." The folio reads 'True nobility is exempt.' We might also, with a loss of force however, read '_For_ true,' etc. Still the choice is difficult. * * * * * SC. 2. "I'll make myself a knight _here_ presently." * * * * * SC. 4. "Trust nobody for fear you _be_ betray'd." The 2nd folio supplied _be_. * * * * * SC. 7. "And the help of hatchet." For 'help' Farmer read _pap_. "Pap of hatchet" was a common phrase. In the preceding line there is in the folio a misprint of _candle_ for 'caudle.' * * * * * SC. 8. "Or let a rabble lead you to your deaths." Both Collier's and Singer's folio properly read _rebel_. * * * * * SC. 9. "Of Gallowglasses and stout Kernes _he_." * * * * * "I pray thee, Buckingham, _to_ go and meet him." * * * * * SC. 10. "Contenteth me and _is_ worth a monarchy." * * * * * "_And_ as for words whose greatness answers words." ACT V. SC. 1. "Alexander Iden, that's my name, _my liege_." * * * * * "They may astonish these fell lurking curs." We should perhaps read _lurching_.
