Note I.

II. 1. 95. Pope and Hanmer make no new scene here, although they evidently intended to do so, as the next scene is marked as Scene III. In Theobald, as usual, the scenes are not numbered.

II. 2. 89. In this passage the lines 89–92 are given to ‘Cla.’ in the first Folio, and to ‘George’ in the Quartos; but it is evident that Shakespeare, by altering ‘his brother’ in line 92 to ‘me,’ intended the whole to be spoken by Edward. This is another instance of Shakespeare’s haste in remodelling the older plays.
