Chapter XCI: Act V

_Chor._ "_And_ the Emperor's coming in behalf of France."

* * * * *

SC. 1. "I eat and eat I swear...."

I read, with Johnson, 'eke' for the second 'eat,' as more Pistolian.

* * * * *

SC. 2. "So happy be the issue, brother Ireland."

I retain this reading of the folio; for I cannot see what should make the printer change England to Ireland, while the Queen may have done so to vary the title.

* * * * *

"Is be full of deceits; dat is de princess _say_."

* * * * *

"Wanting the scythe all uncorrected, rank."

The folio reads 'withal' for 'all.'

* * * * *

"And as our vineyards, fallows, meads, and hedges."

The folio has '_all_ our,' which the context rejects. 'As' is the reading of Capell.

* * * * *

"_Sauf votre honneur_, me understand _not_ well."

Sense and metre seem to demand the negative.

* * * * *

"And I _of_ thine most truly falsely must needs."

* * * * *

"Notwithstanding the poor and untempering effect of my visage."

I think we should read _untempting_, with Warburton.

* * * * *

"His daughter first, and in _the_ sequel all."

* * * * *

"And thereupon give _unto_ me your daughter."
