I. 1. 62. This passage, which is printed as prose in the Quartos, is arranged and read by Capell thus:

‘And girt thee with the sword.—

Cousin of York, we here discharge your grace

From being regent in the parts of France,

’Till term of eighteen months be full expir’d.—

Thanks, uncle Winchester, Gloster, York, and Buckingham,

Somerset, Salisbury, and Warwick, thanks:

We thank you, &c.’
