The folio has "looke, looke out," &c.-Corrected in the second folio.

P. 332. (116) 66 or take upon yourself that which I am sure you do not know; or jump the after-inquiry on your own peril: and how you shall speed in your journey's end, I think you'll never return to tell one."

The folio has, 66 or to take vpon your selfe," &c.: it also has a blur (occasioned by the sticking up of what is technically termed a space) before the next "or;" which blur Mr. Knight considers to be an f, and prints, "for, jump the after-inquiry on your own peril, and how you shall speed in your journey's end, I think you'll never return to tell one."

P. 333. (117)

Stepp'd before targes of proof," &c.

Here" targes" has been altered to "targe:" see p. 227, note (54).

P. 334. (118)

"and in time," &c.

The second folio has "yes, and in time," &c.

"that heard her flattery," &c.

The folio has "that heare her," &c.-Corrected in the second folio.

P. 335. (120)

"I have surely seen him:

His favour is familiar to me.-Boy,
Thou hast look'd thyself into my grace,

And art mine own.-I know not why, nor wherefore," &c.

In the last line the folio omits "nor :"-and, from the halting metre of the third line, we may gather that the passage is otherwise slightly mutilated. It has been arranged as follows (contrary, I believe, to the author's intention),

P. 336. (121)

"I have surely seen him:

His favour is familiar to me.—

Boy, thou hast look'd thyself into my grace," &c.

"One sand another

Not more resembles that sweet rosy lad

Who died, and was Fidele."

Imperfectly as this is expressed, I nevertheless agree with Mr. Knight in thinking that we have here what Shakespeare wrote.-It has been tortured into

"One sand another

and into

Not more resembles, than he th' sweet rosy lad,
Who died, and was Fidele."

"One sand

Another not resembles more, than he

That sweet and rosy lad, who died, and was
Fidele."

while the more recent editors merely alter the old punctuation thus,

"One sand another

Not more resembles: that sweet rosy lad,

Who died, and was Fidele."

P. 336. (122)

"But we saw him dead."

The folio has "But we see him dead."

P. 337. (123) "I am glad to be constrain'd to utter that
Which torments me to conceal. By villany," &c.

Here the "which" (though we have "that which" in Iachimo's preceding speech) would seem to be an addition by the transcriber or printer.-The arrangement of the more recent editors is,

"I am glad to be constrain'd to utter that which
Torments me," &c.;

and Boswell says, "If we lay an emphasis on that, it will be an hypermetrical line of eleven syllables. There is scarcely a page in Fletcher's plays where this sort of versification is not to be found,"-Fletcher's versification being (except in some scenes of The Two Noble Kinsmen, which I am strongly inclined to believe are by Shakespeare) essentially different from our author's!

Has been amended to "help, help," for the metre.

P. 342. (126)

"I am sorry for thee," &c.

The folio has "I am sorrow for thee," &c.,-which no one, I presume, will attempt to defend who recollects that the expression "I am sorry" occurs more than fifty times in our author's other plays.

P. 342. (127)

"and hath

More of thee merited than a band of Clotens
Had ever scar for."

I can see no reason to question this passage; nor has it, I believe, been questioned by any critic, except Mr. Singer, who in his Shakespeare, 1856, prints "Had ever score for," which he explains "Had ever credit for, or than could be scored to their account."

Here the folio has "Interrogatories:" but in All's well that ends well, act iv. sc. 3, and (twice) towards the close of The Merchant of Venice, it has the old contracted form of the word.

Johnson would read "By peace," &c.,-which Capell printed.

P. 347. (134)

"Of this yet scarce-cold battle," &c.

The folio has " Of yet this scarse-cold-Battaile," &c.—Corrected in the third folio.
