"No, sir, but hear I do that he hath two."

To avoid the jingle we might read 'I do hear.'


"If it be so, sir, that you are the man."

I have no doubt that for 'that' we should read then. (See Introd. p. [68].)


"And if you break the ice, and do this seek."

For 'seek' I read deed; Rowe read feat.


Act II.
