NOTE XII.
[V. 6.] We have retained the stage direction of the Folios ‘on the walls’ instead of adopting Capell’s alteration ‘a Room in the Tower’, as it seems likely that the mistake lies in the expression ‘another room’ which was retained from the older play, the author forgetting that he had changed the scene to the walls.
NOTE XIII.
[V. 7. 25.] The copy of the first Folio belonging to Lord Ellesmere has in this place ‘add’ for ‘and.’ In line 27, the same copy reads ‘’tis’ for ‘kis,’ which latter is the word found so far as we know in all other copies.
NOTE XIV.
[V. 7. 30.] Steevens says: ‘In my copy of the second Folio, which had belonged to King Charles the First, his Majesty has erased Cla. and written King, in its stead. Shakespeare, therefore, in the catalogue of his restorers may boast a Royal name.’
