from the passage of our text as given by the folio, inasmuch as the expression close WITH' is totally different from the simple close;' and I seriously think that if Mr. Staunton had wished to show that 'close' is not the true reading here, he could hardly have done so more effectually than by bringing forward those 'unanswerable quotations.'

"Though I find that Mr. Arrowsmith (Shakespeare's Editors and Commentators, p. 43) forbids the alteration of 'close' to 'gloze,' I confess I feel great unwillingness to replace the old reading in the text."

354. madest. The folio has "mad'st." "made."

Dyce has

390. remonstrance. That is, manifestation, declaration. Arrowsmith (Shakespeare's Editors and Commentators, p. 28) cites from B. Barnes's Divil's Charter (1607), i. 4, sig. B 3,

"Your sonne shall make remonstrance of his valour;"

from The Lost Lady (1639), p. 4,

Of love," etc.;

--

with all remonstrances

from Taylor's Sermons, 1653, 4, page 162, Serm. 13, Part 2: manifested in such visible remonstrances; from South's Posthumous Sermons, ed. 1744, Serm. 3, p. 78, vol. 9: "to make remonstrances and declarations of what he thinks."

394. That brain'd my purpose. But, peace be with him! Hanmer inserted "now before " "peace," ," and Dyce follows him. Walker (Crit. Exam. i. 263) says: "Possibly 'purposes; ' yet an old writer would scarcely have used the plural. Query, but, God's peace be with him!' the

name of God having been omitted in deference to the well-known Act." Collier's Ms. Corrector reads "but all peace be with him!"

403. of. Altered by Hanmer to "in."

410. fault's. So the folio. Dyce has "fault."

421. confiscation. The first folio has "confutation," which was corrected in the second.

487. [Unmuffles Claudio. Johnson says: "It is somewhat strange that Isabel is not made to express either gratitude, wonder, or joy, at the sight of her brother." To this remark Boswell rejoins, foolishly enough, Shakespeare, it should be recollected, wrote for the stage, on which Isabel might express her feelings by action." In an "acting copy" of the play now before me, I find

"Claudio discovers himself — Isabella runs and embraces · Angelo falls on his knees.

him

Isab. O, my dear brother!"

489. Is he pardon'd. The folio reading. Dyce (2d ed.) reads "Then is he pardon'd." Hanmer printed "He's pardoned; " and Capell gave "Is he too pardon'd."

495. her worth worth yours. "That is," says Johnson, "her value is equal to your value; the match is not unworthy of you." Hanmer printed "her worth works yours;" Heath proposed "her worth's worth yours;” and Walker (Crit. Exam. i. 295) conjectures "her worth work yours."

500, 501.

Wherein have I so deserved of you,
That you extol me thus?

The folio has "Wherein haue I so deseru'd of you," etc.

Dyce adopts Pope's emendation,

"deserved so of you.

Collier's Ms. Corrector reads

"Wherein have I so well deserv'd of you,

That you extol me thus?"

Walker (Crit. Exam. i. 151) conjectures

"Wherein have I so undeserv'd of you,

That you extol me thus ?"

507. If any woman. The folio reading. Dyce reads "Is any woman." The usual modern reading is "If any

woman's."

537. that's.

The first folio has " that," which was

corrected in the second.
