* * * * * "To the dark house and the detested wife." The folio reads _detected_; the correction is Rowe's. * * * * * SC. 5. "When I should take possession of the bride ... And ere I do begin."... For 'And' Mr. Collier found _End_ in MS. in a copy of the folio. * * * * * "Than you have or will deserve at my hand." So the 2nd folio reads; the 1st has '_to_ deserve'; and perhaps a noun may have been omitted after 'have.' * * * * * "I think _not_ so.--Why, do you not know him?" Some would transfer 'not' to the former speech, but I think it more likely that _not_ was omitted. _Ber._ "Where are my other men?-- _Hel._ Monsieur, farewell." The folio gives all this to Helena; while Theobald, followed by the Cambridge editors, reads "_Ber._ Where are my other men, monsieur? Farewell." ACT III. SC. 1. "Upon your Grace's part; black and feärful _Up_on the opposer'_s_." * * * * * "But I am sure the younger of our nature." Rowe's reading of _nation_ for 'nature' seems certain. * * * * * SC. 2. "_Who_ sold a goodly manor for a song." Both the sense and the metre require this addition. 'Sold' is the correction of 3rd folio for _hold_ of the 1st. * * * * * "Your old ling and your Isbels of the court." We should, I think, read '_new_ ling,' as 'old ling' had just been mentioned. * * * * * "If thou engrossest all the griefs are thine, Thou robbest me of a moiety." No doubt _are_ gives sense, but I should prefer _as_. I have, however, made no change. * * * * * "'Tis but the boldness haply of his hand _To_ which his heart was not consenting to." The folio reads "of his hand haply." * * * * * "The fellow has a deal too much of that, Which holds him much to have." The folio reads "of that too much." As yet no one has made sense of the second line. Perhaps for 'holds' we should read _hurts_, _foils_, or _soils_. I have adopted the first. 'To have' is, the having. (See Introd. p. 70.) * * * * * "Move the still-peering air That sings with piercing."
