Note IV

Note III.

II. 5. 92, 93. Capell follows Hanmer in adopting the reading of the Quartos. We retain the reading of the Folios, because the alteration merely transfers the difficulty of explanation from one line to another.

III. 1. As Sinklo is certainly the name of an Actor, who is mentioned in the stage directions in the Taming of the Shrew (Ind. I. 86), and in Henry IV. Pt. II. (Act IV. Sc. 4), there is great probability that Humfrey is the name of another Actor, perhaps, as Malone suggests, Humfrey Jeaffes. Neither of these is mentioned in the list of ‘Principal Actors’ prefixed to the first Folio.
