Note 537 — SCENE III.[537]
Reading edition
Scene III., &c.] Concerning the transposition of the preceding scene, see note, p. 246.—In the old ed. the present scene follows the exit of Primero with Tailby (see p. 247) thus:
“Pri. Come, you shall see how tis alterd now? I do not thinke
but you’le like her. Exit.
Pri. Where be your liueries? Enter all at once.
1. They attend without.” &c.
The commencement of act iii., which the old ed. does not mark, might have taken place here, had not the preposterous length of act iv. in that ed. obliged me to divide it into the iii. and iv. acts.
