A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 13

Note 363 — ACT V., SCENE I.

Reading edition

In the first edit. this line is thus—

"Black with the curls of snakes, sits a spectatrix."

It may be doubted whether Mr Reed had sufficient warrant for altering the old reading: at all events spectatrix, the word of the time, might have stood; perhaps, in the two next lines their should be changed to her.—Collier.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
