NOTE V.

[IV. 1. 20–23.] The following is the arrangement of these lines in the Folios:

‘Not I: no:

God forbid, that I should wish them seuer’d,

Whom God hath ioyn’d together:

I, and ’twere pittie, to sunder them,

That yoake so well together.’

Pope reads:

‘Not I; no: God forbid that I should wish

Them severed whom God hath join’d together.

Pity to sunder them, that yoak so well.’
