Act V Sc. 1

“Alexander Iden, that’s my name, my liege.”


“They may astonish these fell lurking curs.”

We should perhaps read lurching.


“Who being suffered with the bear’s fell paw.”

For ‘being’ it might be better to read having.


“And so to arms, my victorious father!”


Sc. 2

“To cease! Wast thou ordained O dear father.”


Sc. 3

“Of Salisbury, who can report of him?”

I have followed Collier’s folio in reading Old for ‘Of’.


“Aged contusions and all brush of time,
And like a gallant in the brow of youth.”

For ‘brush’ and ‘brow’ Collier’s folio reads bruise and bloom.
