Chapter LXI: Act V

Text size

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 'true_r_.'

* * * * *

"As _n_e'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 'gratulat_ing_,' and the final letters have been effaced. The meaning, however, is the same.

WINTER'S TALE.
