II.iv.5 (183,5) [light airs, and recollected terms] I rather think that recollected signifies, more nearly to its primitive sense, recalled, repeated, and alludes to the practice of composers, who often prolong the song by repetitions.
II.iv.26 (184,6) [favour] The word favour ambiguously used.
II.iv.35 (184,7) [lost and worn] Though lost and worn may means lost and worn out, yet lost and won being, I think, better, these two words coming usually and naturally together, and the alteration being very slight, I would so read in this place with Sir Tho. Hammer.

II.iv.47 (185,9) [silly sooth] It is plain, simple truth.
II.iv.49 (185,2) [old age] The old age is the ages past, the times of simplicity.
