2_s._ 6_d._
-- 25th -- Mr Martyn, the Paynter, for a _trick_ of the Lady Cath.
Darnley's arms. 2_s._ 6_d._
Dec. 18th -- Received of Mr Gentry for a _trick_ of Wyatt's arms.
2_s._ 6_d._
NOTE VII.
I. 1. 147. This discrepancy between the readings of the first and
second Folios had escaped Capell's notice. In _Twelfth Night_, II. 4.
88, all the Folios read 'It' for 'I.'
NOTE VIII.
II. 1. 103. 'Large,' which was doubtless a misprint for 'huge' in
Rowe's edition, remained uncorrected by Pope, Theobald, Hanmer,
Warburton, and Johnson, though Grey noticed the mistake (_Notes_, 1. p.
230). Capell restored the true reading. How great his services were in
the restoration of the text may be estimated by the following instances
collected from the present play alone. And the list might have been
very much extended if we had included all his minute corrections:
II. 1. 175, 'call not me;' II. 1. 176, 'dominations;' II. 1. 213,
'preparation;' II. 1. 345, 'lay down;' III. 1. 24, 'signs;' III. 4. 35,
'buss;' III. 4. 137, 'whiles;' III. 4. 139, 'one;' III. 4. 169, 'that;'
IV. 1. 31, 'I warrant;' IV. 3. 66, 'his;' IV. 3. 112, 'savours;' V. 7.
43, 'ingrateful.' In V. 7. 45, however, he omitted to correct 'of them.'
NOTE IX.
II. 1. 149. This line is printed in the Folios as if it were a part
of Austria's speech. The objections are of course, first, that Lewis
was not a king, and secondly, that Austria would rather have appealed
to Lewis's father. Malone once thought that Austria appealed to both
'King,--Lewis, &c.' The objection to the usual emendation is that
throughout the scene King Philip is not designated in the stage
directions as _King_, but as _Fran._ or _Fra._
NOTE X.
II. 1. 187. The whole passage from line 185 to 188, inclusive, is thus
printed in F₁:
'But God hath made her sinne and her, the plague
On this remoued issue, plagued for her,
And with her plague her sinne: his iniury
Her iniurie the Beadle to her sinne,'
Capell has it as follows:
'But God hath made her sin and her the plague
On this removed issue, plagu'd for her;
And, with her sin, her plague, his injury
Her injury, the beadle to her sin:'
Mr Roby, whose punctuation we have adopted, says, "I suppose the
sense to be: 'God hath made her sin and herself to be a plague to
this distant child, who is punished for her and with the punishment
belonging to her: God has made her sin to be an injury to Arthur, and
her injurious deeds to be the executioner to punish her sin; all which
(viz. her first sin and her now injurious deeds) are punished in the
person of this child.'"
