In his note on the passage, in the edition of 1778, he conjectured that the line 'But Romeo ... banished' should be inserted after 'their own kisses sin;' an arrangement which was adopted by Malone and by Steevens himself in his edition of 1793. Capell suggests that the lines he retains 'were second thoughts of the poet, and their original was meant for expunction.' This may possibly be true, but we have adopted the reading given in our text because it retains, without manifest absurdity, lines which are all undoubtedly Shakespeare's. For a similar instance see Note XVIII. on _Love's Labour's Lost_. In IV. I. III, of the present play we have omitted a line which occurs in all the Quartos, except the first, and all the Folios, because it could not be retained without absolute detriment to the sense. NOTE X. III. 5. 82-104. Instead of this passage Pope, printing, as he says, 'more agreeably to the first edition,' gave as follows: I soon would send to _Mantua_ where he is, And give him such an unaccustom'd dram That he should soon keep _Tybalt_ company. _Jul._ Find you the means, and I'll find such a man, For while he lives, my heart shall ne'er be light 'Till I behold him--dead--is my poor heart, Thus for a kinsman vext? _La. Cap._ Well, let that pass. I come to bring thee joyful tidings, girl.' In this arbitrary change, he is followed, as usual, by Hanmer, except that the latter puts a full stop at 'vext.' NOTE XI. IV. 3. 58. Mr Dyce conjectured that 'here's drink' was the corruption of a stage direction, '_here drink_.' NOTE XII. IV. 5. 36. Although 'see' was doubtless a conjectural insertion of the editor of the second Folio in order to complete the metre, like his addition of 'now' in the next line, yet, as the word occurs in the corresponding passage of the first Quarto, we have decided on the whole to retain it. NOTE XIII. IV. 5. 65-83. Instead of this speech Pope has the following: '_Fri._ Oh peace for shame-- Your daughter lives in peace and happiness, And it is vain to wish it otherwise. Heav'n and yourself had part in this fair maid, Now heav'n hath all-- Come stick your rosemary on this fair corpse, And as the custom of our country is, In all her best and sumptuous ornaments Convey her where her ancestors lie tomb'd.' The last three lines are verbatim from the Quarto of 1597. Hanmer follows Pope, with a different arrangement in the first lines, which he prints thus: 'Oh peace for shame--your daughter lives in peace And happiness, and it is vain to wish It otherwise. Heav'n and yourself had part In this fair maid, now heaven hath her all-- Come &c.' NOTE XIV. V. 3. 13-17. Instead of these five lines Pope inserts the four following, from the first Quarto:
