Act V Sc. 1

“To load our purposes, with what they travel for.”

Collier’s folio reads purses. In that case ‘they’ should be we.


“When the day serves, before black-corner’d night.”

For ‘corner’d’ some read coned, crowned, cover’d. Singer and Dyce curtain’d. I have given cover’d.


“Know his gross patchery, love him, feed him, and.”


“You have worked for me, there is payment. Hence!”

Malone, who is usually followed, reads ‘done work.’


Sc. 2

“To stop affliction let him take his haste.”

Perhaps ‘take’ should be make.


Sc. 5

“On those that are revenges; crimes like lands
Are not inherited.”


“But shall be remedied to your public laws.”

For ‘remedied’ Singer read remitted. I adopt render’d, the reading of M. Mason.
