Act II Sc. 2

“And this soft courage makes your followers faint.”

For ‘courage’ M. Mason gave from the original play carriage, which perhaps is right.


Sc. 5

“So minutes, hoürs, days, weeks, months, and years.”

The printer evidently omitted weeks.


“And so obsequious will thy father be
Men, for the loss of thee.”

For ‘Men,’ which makes no sense, I read Son; Rowe has Lad, Collier Man, Dyce E’en. It is possible also that a prep., as ‘fore or to, may have been effaced before ‘Men.’
