NOTES TO III KING HENRY VI.
NOTE I.
II. 1. 95. Pope and Hanmer make no new scene here, although they
evidently intended to do so, as the next scene is marked as Scene III.
In Theobald, as usual, the scenes are not numbered.
NOTE II.
II. 2. 89. In this passage the lines 89–92 are given to ‘Cla.’ in the
first Folio, and to ‘George’ in the Quartos; but it is evident that
Shakespeare, by altering ‘his brother’ in line 92 to ‘me,’ intended the
whole to be spoken by Edward. This is another instance of Shakespeare’s
haste in remodelling the older plays.
NOTE III.
II. 5. 92, 93. Capell follows Hanmer in adopting the reading of the
Quartos. We retain the reading of the Folios, because the alteration
merely transfers the difficulty of explanation from one line to another.
NOTE IV.
