Act V Sc. 1
“Or wring redress from you. Hear me, O hear me here!”
For ‘here’ we might read hear; but no change is needed.
“Nay it is ten times true.”
Perhaps it should be ‘truer.’
“As ne’er I heard in madness.”
“He did, my lord, most villainously. Believe it.”
“First let her show her face.”
It is your in the 1st folio; the correction was made in the 2nd.
“No, my lord.—Are you a maid then?—No, my lord.”
“Not that I know of.—No! you say your husband.”
“And punish them, unto your height of pleasure.”
“We’ll touze you
Joint by joint, but we’ll know his purpose. What!
Unjust!—Be not so hot, sir; the Duke dare,” etc.
For his in the second line we should certainly read your.
“Your well-defended honour, you must pardon him.”
“A due sincerity govern’d his deeds, till he
Did look on me. Since it is so, let him not die.—
My brother had but justice, in that he did
The thing for which he died. For Angelo.”
“Which is that Barnardine?—This is, my lord.”
“Look that you love your wife; her worth’s worth yours.”
“Wherein have I deserved so of you?”
In the folio ‘so deserv’d.’
“There’s more behind that is more gratulate.”
The poet may have written ‘gratulating,’ and the final letters have been effaced. The meaning, however, is the same.
