Chapter CXLVIII: Act V

Text size

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 worke_d_ 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.

CORIOLANUS.
