In a note, however, he says, 'I do not believe this speech was intended by the authour for verse.'

III. 3. 8. Hanmer made here one of his audacious alterations:
'How? deny'd him?
Have Lucius and Ventidius and Lucullus
Deny'd him all? and does he send to me?
It shews &c.'
Capell emulated him thus:
'How! have they deny'd him?
Has Lucius, and Ventidius, and Lucullus,
Deny'd him, say you? and does he send to me?
Three? hum!
It shews &c.'
Note XI.
III. 3. 19. Hanmer altered the passage thus:
'That I'll requite it last? so it may prove
An argument of laughter to the rest,
And amongst Lords I shall be thought a fool.'
Capell follows Hanmer, except that he replaces 'no' in the first line.
