[V. 1. 309.] Of these our dear-beloved solemnized. The Folios have ‘belov’d’; a mode of spelling, which in this case is convenient as indicating the probable rhythm of the verse. We have written ‘beloved,’ in accordance with the general rule mentioned in the Preface.

‘Solemnized’ occurs in four other verse passages of Shakespeare. It is three times to be accented ‘sólemnized’ and once (Love’s Labour’s Lost, II. 1. 41) ‘solémnized.’
