Malone supposes that a line following 192 has been lost. Seymour proposes to read: 'that I am, have been, and shall be .................................... And throw it from their soul (most firm and loyal) Though perils &c.' Jackson conjectures: 'that aim, has and will be, Though, &c.' or, 'that aim has, and will be To you, though ... duty, And throw, &c.' Mr Knight conjectures: 'that aim I have and will, Though, &c.,' 'will' being here a noun. Mr Collier adopts this reading, but takes 'will' to be a verb, for 'will have.' Mr Singer reads: 'that I am true, and will be, Though, &c.' by which, he says, all is made 'congruous and clear.' Mitford would read: 'that am, and will be yours. Though, &c.' Dr Badham suggests: 'that am your slave and will be. Though, &c.' Mr Staunton conjectures: 'to that I am slave and will be, Though, &c.' Sidney Walker says: "If there be no other corruption, the period after 'be' ought to be replaced by a comma: otherwise the words appear unintelligible. Even so, however, this will be a most harsh instance of ἀνακολουθία. But I rather think that a line is lost, somewhat to the following effect: 'that I am, have, and will be, [In heart and act, tied to your service; yea,] Though all the world should, &c.'" Mr Grant White adopts Mr Singer's reading, nearly: 'that am true and will be, &c.' Mr Nichols proposes to transfer 'yours' from line 199 to follow 'will be:' 'that am, have, and will be yours ................................. ... and stand unshaken.' Mr Keightley prints, 'that am, have and will be ... Though &c.,' indicating that the sense is interrupted. NOTE IX. III. 2. 208, 209. The misreading 'may' for 'have,' which is so familiar to us in this often-quoted passage, was not corrected by Pope or any subsequent editor till Capell. NOTE X. V. 3. Mr Grant White suggests that a new scene should begin here, "although the stage direction in the folio is only 'A Councell Table brought in with Chayres and Stooles, and placed under the State,' &c. But this is plainly the mere result of the absence of scenery of any kind on Shakespeare's stage, and the audience were to imagine that the scene changed from the lobby before the Council Chamber to that apartment itself." We have adopted his suggestion, thinking that the obvious propriety of changing the scene outweighs any inconvenience which might result for purposes of reference. Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson all follow Pope in calling this Scene V. Theobald also supposes a new scene to begin here, although in his edition the scenes are not numbered. Capell, by his stage direction, indicated that the scene presented the Council-chamber and the lobby both at once to the eyes of the spectators. NOTE XI.
