[ [385] The scene shifts to the King of Navarre's quarters in the Louvre.
[ [386] The young Prince of Condé, cousin to the King of Navarre.
[ [387] The stage-direction in old ed. is "Enter Guise."
[ [388] Scene: a room in the Louvre.
[ [389] Scene: near Paris.
[ [390] Old ed. "by the."
[ [391] Scene: a wood near Paris.
[ [392] Scene: a room in the Castle of Vincennes.

[ [394] Old ed. "there," which Dyce silently retains. The correction was made by Cunningham, who explains the passage thus:—"There are persons (you yourself and my Protestant subjects, for instance) from whom I have deserved a scourge, but their feelings would never lead them to poison their king; God grant that my dearest relations may prove to have been no worse than those who ought to be my enemies," &c.—"Scourge" must surely be the scourge of God. Navarre had said, "God will sure restore you:" to which the king answers, "I have deserved a scourge" from God. Before l. 10 a line or more referring to the massacre of the Protestants must have dropped out.
