NOTES.
NOTE I.
I. 1. There is no division into Acts and Scenes in the Quartos, nor any
trace of division in the Folios, except the 'Actus Primus, Scæna Prima'
at the beginning of the play.
We wish to remind our readers that the symbol Qq signifies the
agreement of the second, third, fourth, and fifth Quartos.
NOTE II.
I. 2. 116. The first Quarto here has 'thrall,' the others 'debt,' which
though it makes a rhyme does not improve the sense. The next two lines
are not in the first Quarto. As, unlike the immediate context, they
also rhyme, while they are not particularly forcible, we incline to
think that some other hand than Shakespeare's inserted them.
NOTE III.
II. 1. 13. Pope was the first commentator who called attention to the
ballad which is alluded to in this passage, and it is remarkable that
with all his partiality for the first Quarto he did not adopt the
reading 'trim,' found both there and in the ballad. Percy, in a note
to the ballad printed in his _Reliques_, conjectured that Shakespeare
had written 'trim,' not 'true,' apparently without knowing that the
word was found in the first Quarto. Capell, in his note, says that he
had retained 'true' in his text, owing to his not having observed the
authority for the other reading.
NOTE IV.
