p. 177, l. 32 _Joys._ 4to 1671 ‘Joy’. p. 178, l. 10 _Ism. Know it was._ Both 4to 1671, and 1724 read ‘No, it was’, which does not give sense. There can be little doubt ‘Know’ is the correct reading. p. 178, l. 18 _slight._ 1724 ‘flight’. +ACT IV: Scene ii+ p. 178, l. 29 _A Street._ I have added this locale, which no previous edition marks. +ACT IV: Scene iii+ p. 183, l. 25 _Frederick’s Chamber._ I have added this locale. p. 184, l. 22 _oft._ 1724 ‘soft’. p. 185, l. 35 _Exeunt Musick._ I have inserted this stage direction. p. 186, l. 3 _Exit Page._ I have supplied this. +ACT IV: Scene iv+ p. 187, l. 23 _A Street._ I have added this locale. p. 188, l. 3 _Antonio’s Valet._ 4to 1671 simply ‘Vallet.’ 1724 ‘Valet.’ The servant is obviously Antonio’s man. p. 188, l. 27 _foutering._ 1724 ‘soutering’. p. 189, l. 2 _To some Tune like him._ Only in 4to 1671. p. 189, l. 9 _And quite unveil’d._ Only 4to 1671 gives this line. +ACT IV: Scene v+ p. 190, l. 31 _Antonio’s House._ I have supplied the locale. +ACT V: Scene i+ p. 193, l. 10 _Laura’s Chamber._ I have added the locale. +ACT V: Scene ii+ p. 197, l. 30 _A Grove._ I have supplied this locale. p. 199, l. 36 _Teresia’s._ 4to 1671 ‘_Teretia’s_’. p. 200, l. 3 _certain ‘tis._ 4to 1671 ‘it is certain’. +ACT V: Scene iii+ p. 200, l. 28 _What Arms._ 4to 1671 gives this line to Pietro. p. 201, l. 21 _Millanoise._ 1724 ‘Milanese’. p. 201, l. 22 _Genovese._ 1724 ‘Genoese’. p. 201, l. 27 _a Maltan who pretends._ 1724 ‘the Maltese, who pretend’. p. 201, l. 30 _a Cicilian._ 1724 ‘the Sicilians’. p. 201, l. 31 _his._ 1724 ‘their’. The alterations made by 1724 and the confusion of plurals and singular in this passage, which I have left untouched, are noticeable. p. 202, l. 27 _sets._ 1724 ‘_sits_’. p. 203, l. 5 _others._ 1724 ‘other’. p. 203, l. 12 _O’._ 4to 1671 ‘A’.’ p. 204, l. 20 _their._ 4to 1671 ‘_the_’. p. 206, l. 33 _Visors._ 1724 ‘_Vizards_’. p. 207, l. 5 _Braves._ 1724 ‘Bravoes’. p. 209, l. 19 _’.was a Temptation._ 1724 quite erroneously gives this speech to Cloris. p. 212, l. 13 _Clo. speaks aside to Guil._ 1724 ‘Aside to Guil.’ p. 212, l. 24 _Curtain Falls._ Only in 4to 1671. +Epilogue+ p. 213, l. 5 _E’en humble._ 4to 1671 omits ‘E’en’. p. 213, l. 22 _Leadies._ 1724 ‘Ladies’. NOTES: CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY. +Prologue+ p. 121 _Great Johnson’s way._ cf. what Mrs. Behn says in her ‘Epistle to the Reader’ prefacing _The Dutch Lover_ (Vol. I, p. 224), of the Jonsonian enthusiast: ‘a man the most severe of Johnson’s Sect.’ p. 121 _Nokes and Angel._ The two celebrated low comedians. Angel died in the spring of 1673. He was a great farceur, but gagged unmercifully, to the no small annoyance of the poets.
