Part 3 / Act 1 — Act I.

Reading edition

Sc. 1.

"But if you should be out, sir, I can mend you."

For a similar omission, also injurious to the metre, see on Twelfth Night, ii. 5.

Sc. 2.

"That her wide walls encompass'd but one man."

The folio has walks; the obvious correction is from Collier's folio.

"What you would work me to I have some aim of."

"From that it is disposed to; therefore 'tis meet."

Sc. 3.

"In favour's like the work we have in hand."

'In' is the necessary correction of Is of the folio. See on K. John, iv. 2.
