Chapter XCIII: Act IV

SC. 1. "This dastard at the battle of Patay."

The folio reads Poictiers; Steevens made the correction. The error must have been the printer's.

* * * * *

"But always resolute in most extremes."

I adopt the correction of _worst_ for 'most.'

* * * * *

"And now, _my_ Lord Protector, view the letter."

* * * * *

"My lord, how say you? Are you not content?"

The folio reads "How say you, my lord?"

* * * * *

"To wilful disobedience and rebel_lion_."

The end had certainly been effaced. Introd. p. 57.

* * * * *

"An if I wist he did ... but let it rest."

So Steevens corrected the _wish_ of the folio.

* * * * *

"But that it doth presage some ill event."

For 'that' we should read _sees_, or some other verb.

* * * * *

SC. 4. "Swearing that you withhold his levied host."

For 'host' Hanmer read _horse_, which the next speech would seem to prove to be right.

* * * * *

SC. 5. "But if I bow they'll say it was for fear."

For 'bow' I read _do_.

* * * * *

SC. 7. "Great Märshal to Hen_e_ry the Sixth."

So Lucy must have pronounced it, in a slow measured tone. See on Rich. II. i. 3.

* * * * *

"For God's sake let him have 'em."

For ''em' the folio reads _him_ here, and five lines lower down.
