NOTE IX. I. 3. 127. Capell's copy of the first Quarto has _cruell_. Another copy is said, in the Variorum edition of 1821, to have the reading _civil_ (or _civill_), but we have been unable to trace it. Mr George Daniel, who possesses the only known copy besides Capell's, informs us that it has _cruell_. NOTE X. I. 3. 129-133. Pope first restored to the text the five lines omitted in the Folios and the fifth Quarto. He found them in the Quarto of 1598, which he took to be 'the first edition.' Warburton 'put them,' as he says, 'into hooks, not as spurious, but as rejected on the author's revise.' Capell omitted the five lines next following. ''Tis probable,' he says, 'that the lines now omitted were left negligently in the MS. from which the Quarto was printed; that a mark was set on them when the Folio came out, but mistook by the printer of it, who changed the sound for the unsound.' NOTE XI. I. 3. 150. Some commentators have quoted the second Folio as reading 'slye slow.' In Capell's copy and in Long's it is certainly 'flye slow.' Mr Collier in a letter to _Notes and Queries_ mentions that he has found 'flye slow' in other copies. NOTE XII. I. 3. 239-242. Pope introduced the two last of the lines he omitted in this place at the end of Gaunt's speech after line 245. Theobald restored lines 239, 240 to their original place, but left lines 241, 242 as he found them in Pope. NOTE XIII. II. 1. 40-55. _This royal throne ... stubborn Jewry._ This passage, with the exception of line 50, is quoted in _England's Parnassus_, p. 348 (1600), and is there attributed to _M. Dr._, i.e. Michael Drayton, whose _England's Heroical Epistles_ had been published two years before. The three lines I. 1. 177-179 are also quoted at p. 113 of the same collection. NOTE XIV. II. 1. 254. The Folios omitted _noble_, in order to correct the redundant line. But Alexandrines occur too frequently in this play to admit of the supposition that they are all due to printers' or transcribers' errors. The author probably found the occasional recurrence of a six foot line no stumbling-block in the even road of his blank verse. NOTE XV. II. 1. 277, 278. Pope makes a bold emendation here: 'Then thus, my friends. I have from Port le Blanc, A bay in Bretagne, had intelligence, &c.' The first Quarto reads thus: 'Then thus, I have from le Port Blan A Bay in Brittaine receiude intelligence, &c.' And, excepting that Q₃ reads '_Brittanie_,' the rest are substantially the same. The first Folio has 'Port _le Blan_' and '_Britaine_.' The arrangement of the lines in the text agrees with Capell's. NOTE XVI. II. 1. 279 sqq. This passage stands thus in the first Quarto: 'That Harry duke of Herford, Rainold L. Cobham That late broke from the Duke of Exeter His brother, archbishop late of Canterburie, Sir Thomas Erpingham, sir John Ramston Sir Iohn Norbery, sir Robert Waterton and Francis Coines:'
