Chapter CX: Act IV

SC. 1. "And I am nothing slow to slack his haste."

Collier's folio, mistaking the sense, reads '_some_thing.' 'To' is, so as to, that I should. Editors have not understood it.

* * * * *

"Be borne to burial in thy kindred's grave."

This line, which is superfluous, is in all the old editions. See on iii. 3.

* * * * *

SC. 3. "Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee."

This is the reading of the 4to 1597; the other editions read,

"Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, here's drink. I drink to thee."

* * * * *

SC. 4. "_Nurse._ Go, go, you cotquean, go."

Singer was most certainly right in giving this speech to _Lady Cap._; for the Nurse was hardly present.

* * * * *

SC. 5. "Dead art thou, _dead_--alack! my child is dead."

In this I find I had been as usual preceded by Theobald.

* * * * *

"Peace, ho, for shame! confusion's cure lives not."

All the old editions read _care_. Theobald made the correction.

* * * * *

"For though some nature bids us all lament."

For 'some' the 2nd folio reads _fond_.

* * * * *

"Faith, we may put our pipes up and be gone."

The originals read 'put up.'
