A list of Dramatis Personæ in MS. of an early time is prefixed to Capell's copy of the sixth Quarto. 'Falstaff' is spelt 'Falstaffe' or 'Falstalffe' in the Quartos, but consistently 'Falstaffe' in the first Folio. 'Poins' is spelt 'Poines' or 'Poynes' in the Quartos, and occasionally, in the Folio, 'Pointz,' as it is in _The Merry Wives of Windsor_, III. 2. 63. 'Bardolph,' spelt thus, or 'Bardolfe,' in the Folio, is 'Bardoll' or 'Bardol' in the Quartos. We retain the spelling which is most familiar in names so well known. NOTE II. I. 1. 28. Mr Staunton says that 'now is twelve _months_ old' is the reading of the first Quarto. Capell's copy has 'now is twelue _month_ old.' NOTE III. I. 1. 62. We take this opportunity of reminding our readers that we have not recorded minute variations of spelling except where they seemed to have importance as helping to determine the text. We give as a general rule the spelling of the earliest copy. NOTE IV. I. 1. 73. Capell says: "Too hasty a perusal of a passage in Holinshed betray'd Shakespeare into a mistake in this place. The 'earl of Fife' was not 'son to Douglas' but to a duke of Albany, as the same chronicler tells us soon after; and in this passage too, was it rightly pointed, and a little attended to: for that duke was then governour; _i.e._ of Scotland; and the word governour should have a comma after it, or (rather) a semi-colon." He goes on to say that the mistake is repeated I. 3. 261, and proposes to give historical truth to both these passages by reading: (1) 'Prisoners to Hotspur are Mordake the earl of Fife; and he himself The beaten Douglas; and with him, &c.' (2) 'And make the regent's son your only mean For powers in Scotland.'
