"I'll try how you can sol, la, fa, and sing it.—
Help, masters, help!"
'Masters' is the correction of Theobald for mistress of the folio. Master and mistress are confounded also in v. 1, and in Mer. of Ven. iv. 1, 2 Hen. IV. ii. 4, 2 Hen. VI. i. 3, Tim. ii. 2. Mistress was frequently written misteris, which may have been partly the cause of the confusion.
"That gives not half so great a blow to hear."
For 'to hear,' which makes very poor sense, Warburton most happily read to th' ear. He was equally happy in Tim. i. 2.
"For his own good and yours."
For 'yours' Thirlby most properly read ours.
