"Give fire, she is my prize."

Most certainly 'my' should be thy; the confusion is common.


Sc. 3.

"Cried Game? said I well?"

Mr. Douce, Mr. Dyce, and myself, all independently corrected 'Cried I aim?' and Warburton had proposed Cry aim. The correction might therefore appear to be certain; and yet I am dubious of it. 'Cried game' is the reading of the 4tos, as well as of the folio; and as the first 4to and the folio were printed from independent MSS., it is not at all likely that two transcribers or printers should have fallen into the same error. 'Cried Game? said I well?' would suit the abrupt tone of the Host, and signify, Did I intimate sport?


"Thou hast the right arched beauty of the brow."

The 4to reads bent for 'beauty'; so the right word may be bend. I have given 'bent'.
