NOTES.
NOTE I.
The Folios have 'The Tragedy of Troylus and Cressida' as title of the
play. In the first three the prologue precedes the title. In the fourth
the order is reversed. In the third and fourth 'Troylus' is spelt
'Troilus,' both here and in the body of the play. Some copies of the
Quarto have 'The Famous Historie of Troylus and Cresseid,' others 'The
Historie of Troylus and Cresseida,' as first title, while the running
title in all is, 'The History of Troylus and Cresseida.' The play is
not divided into Acts and Scenes either in the Quarto or the Folios,
excepting that the latter have _Actus Primus, Scæna Prima_, at the
beginning.
In the spelling of 'Trojan' we have conformed to modern usage. In the
Quarto it is uniformly 'Troyan' and usually 'Troian' in the first Folio.
NOTE II.
I. 3. 238. The reading of the Quarto given in the note at the foot of
the page is that of Capell's copy, in which the final 's' of 'swords'
has failed to take the ink. In the Duke of Devonshire's copy the 's' is
visible but imperfect.
NOTE III.
I. 3. 357-365. The Quarto reads as follows:
'Giue pardon to my speech? therefore tis meete,
_Achilles_ meete not _Hector_, let vs like Marchants
First shew foule wares, and thinke perchance theile sell;
If not; the luster of the better shall exceed,
By shewing the worse first: do not consent,
That euer _Hector_ and _Achilles_ meet,
For both our honour and our shame in this, are dog'd with
two strange followers.'
Capell adopts the Quarto reading, putting 'If not' in a line by itself.
