The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 4 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
V. 2. 101. The stage direction of the first Quarto is literally as
follows: _Here they embrace the trumpets sound, the King enters with
his power, alarme to the battel, then enter Douglas, and Sir Walter
Blunt._ The Folios have substantially the same, omitting the word
'_Here_.' They indicate no change of scene in this place. The Quartos
do not, either here or elsewhere, mark any division into act or scene.
NOTE XXIV.
V. 4. 136, sqq. Pope reads thus:
'I did, I saw him dead
And breathless on the ground: art thou alive,
Or is it Fancy plays upon our eye-sight?
I pr'ythee speak, we will not trust our eyes
Without our ears: thou art not what thou seem'st.'
Capell thus:
'I did; I saw him dead, breathless and bleeding
Upon the ground.--
Art thou alive? or is it fantasy,
That plays upon our eye-sight? I pr'ythee, speak;
We will not trust our eyes without our ears:
Thou art not what thou seem'st.'
NOTE XXV.
V. 5. 30. Malone reads 'shewn' on the authority of the Quarto of 1598.
But Capell's copy of that edition has 'taught,' and this is the reading
of Malone's own copy, now in the Bodleian Library.
