Act I.
Sc. 1.
2 Cit. "Our business is not unknown to the Senate."
So it stands in the folio here and in the subsequent speeches; but as Malone rightly saw, it should be 1 Cit.
"But, since it serves my purpose, I will venture
To scale it a little more."
All attempts to make sense of 'scale' having been most complete failures, it only remains to read, with Theobald, stale.
"I'll not stale the jest
By my relation."
