Histories

King John

Act I Sc. 1

“It would not be Sir Nob in any case.”

The 2nd folio properly read I for ‘It.’


“Kneel thee down Philip, but to rise more great.”


“’Tis too respective and too sociable
For your conversion.”

In the only other place where ‘conversion’ occurs in these plays it signifies change; but it may be conversation.

“As at his next conversion with your Grace
He will relate the circumstance at full.”

Ham. 1603.


“Sir Robert could do well; marry, to confess the truth;
Could he get me? Sir Robert could not do it.”
