p. 267, l. 19 Sir.  Omitted in 1724.

p. 268, l. 11 But leave.  I have arranged metrically.  Previous editions prose.

p. 269, l. 29 With all my Soul. 4to 1687 gives an ‘[Aside’ to Gayman’s speech.  This is an obvious error.

p. 270, l. 12 Scene V.  I have numbered this and the two following scenes.

p. 271, l. 20 he have not. 1724 ‘he has not’.

p. 27l, l. 31 Oh!  You.  I have arranged metrically.  Previous editions prose.

p. 274, l. 3 Life’s. 4to 1687 ‘Lives’.  P. 275, l. 24 Enter Leticia, Bellmour, and Phillis.  I have added this necessary direction which is in no former edition.

p. 278, l. 20 An After Math. 4to 1687 reads ‘An After Mach’. 1724 ’An after Match’.  As neither of these forms are found, the 4to seems an obvious misprint for ‘After Math’.

p. 278, l. 25 whiffling. 1724 ‘whistling’.

THE FORC’D MARRIAGE.

p. 286, l. 15 Enter an Actress.  Omitted in 4to 1671.

p. 287 Dramatis Personae.  I have added to the list ’Page to Pisaro; Clergy; Officers;’ and have named Lysette from Act iii, v. 4to 1671 spells Orgulius, Orguilious; Falatius, Falatio; Cleontius, Cleontious in the Dramatis Personae, but in the text I have spelled these names throughout following 1724.  It may here be noted that the 1671 quarto swarms with errors and typographical mistakes.  It is vilely printed and seemingly issued from the press almost without revision.

p. 288, l. 2 The Palace.  I have added the locale.

p. 289, l. 5 Bravery. 4to 1671. 4to 1690 and 1724 ‘Virtue’.

p. 289, l. 11 Alcippus. 4to 1671 prints ‘Alcip.’ as a speech-prefix.  An obvious blunder.

p. 289, l. 18 Gift. 4to 1671 misreads ‘Guilt’.

p. 290, l. 11 added little. 1724 ‘added a little’.

p. 290, l. 19 hated. 4to 1690 and 1724 ‘hate’.

p. 292, l. 9 who. 4to 1671 ‘whom’.

p. 295, l. 5 pretends. 4to 1671 ‘pretend’.

p. 295, l. 31 thee most fatal proofs. 1724 ‘the most fatal proof’.

p. 296, l. 18 There was so.  Following quartos I have printed these lines (which 1724 gives as prose) metrically, although I confess the result is not satisfactory.

p. 297, l. 1 Galatea’s Apartments.  I have added this locale.

p. 298, l. 9 first.  Not in 4to 1671.

p. 298, l. 29 Sighing.  Not in 4to 1671.

p. 299, l. 30 Madam, that grief.  This speech, which all previous editions give to Erminia, I have assigned to Aminta.  I am, however, not entirely satisfied that a speech of Galatea’s has not dropped out here (the first quarto is notoriously careless), and in this case the speech may well be Erminia’s.
