NOTE IV.
[I. 4. 16–18]. We leave this corrupt passage as it stands in the first Folio. In the second Folio, which is followed as usual by the third and fourth, it is thus given:
‘And fully even these three dayes have I watcht,
If I could see them. Now Boy doe thou watch,
For I can stay no longer.’
Pope omits the words ‘For...longer.’
Malone has:
‘And even these three days have I watched,
If I could see them.
Now do thou watch, for I can stay no longer.’
Mr Collier:
‘And even these three days have I watch’d, if I
Could see them.
Now, do thou watch, for I can stay no longer.’
