I. 3. 238. The reading of the Quarto given in the note at the foot of the page is that of Capell's copy, in which the final 's' of 'swords' has failed to take the ink. In the Duke of Devonshire's copy the 's' is visible but imperfect.
Note III.
I. 3. 357-365. The Quarto reads as follows:
'Giue pardon to my speech? therefore tis meete,
Achilles meete not Hector, let vs like Marchants
First shew foule wares, and thinke perchance theile sell;
If not; the luster of the better shall exceed,
By shewing the worse first: do not consent,
That euer Hector and Achilles meet,
For both our honour and our shame in this, are dog'd with two strange followers.'
Capell adopts the Quarto reading, putting 'If not' in a line by itself.
Note IV.
II. 2. 22. This misprint of Theobald's was repeated in every edition, except those of Hanmer and Capell, down to that of Harness, 1825, inclusive. Mr Knight made the necessary correction. We have left unnoticed many similar instances.
Note V.
II. 3. 74. Mr Dyce suggests that the reading 'sate' of the Quarto was a mistake for 'rates.'
