[Notes on the Text.]
The Amorous Prince.
Dramatis Personæ
[p. 123] Dramatis Personæ. I have added to the list ‘Salvator, Father to Lorenzo and Laura.’ ‘Ismena’ is spelled ‘Ismenia’ throughout by 1724.
Act I: Scene i
[p. 124, l. 10] Should those. 4to 1671 reads ‘Dwell’st perceive us’ as a separate line. Throughout the play, except in lines as this specially noted, I carefully follow the metrical division of 4to 1671. 1724 prints many speeches and whole scenes as prose which the quarto gives as verse. It is noticeable that the edition of 1711 follows the quarto.
[p. 125, l. 17] Bays. 1724 ‘Bay’.
Act I: Scene ii
[p. 127, l. 31] Exit Pietro. 1724 ‘Exit.’ which would tend to a confusion here.
