p. 87, l. 15 _Hogsdowne._ 1724 ‘Hogsdon’. +ACT V: Scene i+ p. 89, l. 3 _leading her._ Omitted in 1724. 4to 1678 here has ‘The End of the Fourth Act.’ p. 89, l. 5 _Scene I. A Room._ All previous editions have ‘Scene I. A Table and Six Chairs.’ p. 89, l. 28 _come._ 4to 1678 ‘came’. p. 95, l. 20 _fatum._ 4to 1678 ‘facum.’ p. 96, l. 2 _and will._ 1724, very erroneously, ‘and I will’. p. 98, l. 13 _and Bartholomew._ I have added this entrance, unmarked in former editions, as later in the scene (p. 99, l. 30) he is addressed. p. 98, l. 16 _Exit Roger._ I have supplied this. p. 99, l. 35 _Exit._ I have added this stage direction. p. 100, l. 4 _Exit Lod._ This is unmarked in previous editions. p. 100, l. 25 _Medicinæ Professores._ 1724 ‘Medicina Presessores, qui hic assemblati esti, & vos altra Mesioris’. p. 101, l. 12 _Deliberation._ 4to 1678 here has ‘[Goes out.’ which must obviously be a mistake. p. 102, l. 2 _Whirligigoustiphon._ 1724 ‘Whirligigousticon’. p. 107, l. 36 _Exeunt Doctors._ All previous editions faultily have ‘Exeunt.’ after ‘whole Family.--’ I have added ‘Doctors.’ p. 108, l. 27 _and Nurse._ I have added these words as she is addressed later in the scene (p. 109, l. 31.) p. 110, l. 24 _and Sir Cred._ I have added these words. p. 111, l. 34 _Consort._ 1724 ‘Comfort’. NOTES: CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY. +To the Reader+ p. 7 _to show their breeding (as Bays sayes)._ cf. _The Rehearsal_, II, ii:-- _1 King._ You must begin, _Mon foy_. _2 King._ Sweet, Sir, _Pardonnes moy_. _Bayes._ Mark that: I makes ‘em both speak _French_ to shew their breeding. +ACT I: Scene i+ p. 14 _Armida._ cf. Tasso’s _La Gerusalemme Liberata_, canto xiv, &c. Armida is called Corcereis owing to the beauty and wonder of her enchanted garden. Corcyra was the abode of King Alcinous, of whose court, parks and orchards a famous description is to be found in the seventh _Odyssey_. Martial (xiii, 37), speaks of ‘Corcyraei horti’, a proverbial phrase. +ACT I: Scene ia+ p. 20 _Mum budget._ ‘Mum budget’, meaning ‘hush’, was originally the name of a children’s game which required silence, cf. _Merry Wives of Windsor_, V, iv: ‘I ... cried _mum_ and she cried _budget_.’ cf. also the term ‘Whist’. p. 22 _Beginning at Eight._ The idea of this little speech is, of course, from Bonnecorse’s _La Montre_, Mrs. Behn’s translation of which will be found with an introduction in Vol. VI, p. 1. p. 22 _the Bergere._ cf. _The Feign’d Curtezans_ (Vol. II, p. 346): ‘The hour of the Berjere’. and the note on that passage (p. 441). +ACT II: Scene i+ p. 32 _Ay and No Man._ cf. Prologue to _The False Count_ (Vol. III, p. 100): ‘By Yea and Nay’. and note on that passage (p. 480). +ACT III: Scene i+
