Chapter XCII: Act I: SC. 1. "Than Julius Cæsar or bright ..."

Johnson proposed _Berenice_; and, though it was her hair and not herself that was stellified, he may have been right. The punctuation here given, however, removes all difficulty.

* * * * *

"Guienne, Champaigne, Rheims, Orleans, and _Roan_."

A little lower we have, "Is Paris lost? is Roän yielded up?"

* * * * *

"A third thinks _that_ without expense at all."

The 2nd folio reads 'A third _man_ thinks.'

* * * * *

"He being in the vaward, placed behind."

Most certainly 'vaward' should be '_rear_ward'. Introd. p. 66.

* * * * *

SC. 2. "Otherwhiles the famish'd English like pale ghosts."

Collier's folio reads '_The_ whiles.'

* * * * *

SC. 3. "Villains, answer you the Lord Protector so?"

The folio has 'answer you so.'

* * * * *

"Gloster, we'll meet, _and_ to thy cost, be sure."

* * * * *

"For I intend to have it _off_ ere long."

* * * * *

SC. 5. "Sheep run not half so treacherous from the wolf."

For 'treacherous,' which must be wrong, Pope read _timorous_, Collier's folio _tremulous_.

* * * * *

SC. 6. "_For_ rescued is Orleans from the English."

The 2nd folio reads 'English _wolves_.'

* * * * *

"Divinest creäture, Astræa's daughter."

The 2nd folio reads _bright_ Astræa's.

* * * * *

"Before the kings and queens of France _for aye_."

ACT II.

SC. 3. "_Lady_, that will I show you presently."

* * * * *

SC. 4. "Or else was wrangling Somerset in the error?"

It should apparently be _right_, not 'error'; as it is a few lines lower.

* * * * *

SC. 5. "Was for that--young _King_ Richard they remov'd."

* * * * *

"_Un_to King Edward the Third, whëreas he."

* * * * *

"I doubt not but with honour to redress _'em_."

ACT III.

SC. 1. "Am I not _Lord_ Protector, saucy priest?"

* * * * *

"Rome shall this remedy.--Roam thither then."

The folio reads "Rome shall remedy this."

* * * * *

"And Henry born in Windsor _should_ lose all."

The 2nd folio added _should_.

* * * * *

SC. 3. "As looks the mother on her lowly babe."

For 'lowly' Collier's folio reads _lovely_.
