Note 52 — ACT I.
Reading edition
This is hardly intelligible, as it stands here and in the third edition. In the two earlier copies, Porcia says to Flora on entering—
"If thou lov'st me, get him away quickly Before my brother come, and give him this.
[She gives Flora a letter."
—Collier. [There does not appear to be any obscurity here. In a subsequent scene, Ernesto delivers the letter handed to him by Flora from Camilla, whom he mistakes for Porcia.]
