II. x. 51 l. 7. See note on I. ii. 29 l. 2.
II. x. 67 l. 2. Ambrose] Ambrise 1596, 1609. Geoffrey of Monmouth (Historia Britonum, Lib. VI) supports 1590.
II. xi. 10 l. 2. dessignment] assignment 1590. It is the proximity of the indubitable author’s correction in 9 l. 9 that decides in favour of 1596.
II. xi. 11 l. 4. dismayd] mismayd conj. Jortin. Jortin’s ‘mismayd’ (i. e. mismade, miscreated) gives a good meaning, and the misprint is paralleled at III. ix. 7 l. 3 disdonne 1590, misdonne 1596. Others think that ‘dismayd’ may bear the same meaning.
II. xi. 13 l. 5. assayled] assayed 1590. See note on II. v. 29 l. 5.
II. xi. 21 l. 8. their] there 1609. I should now prefer to read ‘there’ in all such cases.
II. xii. 1 l. 4. Formerly] ‘Formally’ is a conjecture of my own, and should have been indicated as such in the footnote. It was suggested by II. xii. 81 l. 5, where ‘formally’ = secundum artem. ‘Firmëly’ has been proposed; but that is impossible. The text may be sound.
II. xii. 1 l. 6. Others take F. E. to refer to l. 1. See note on I. iii. 38 l. 7.
II. xii. 23 l. 9. Upton, Todd, &c., keep Monoceros, scanning ‘immeasúrëd’, which is without example. The reading adopted by Child was originally suggested by Jortin.
II. xii. 27 l. 4. sea the resounding] sea resounding 1609. See note on I. i. 15 l. 6.
