Summary
This text, which aims at carrying out the conclusions arrived at in the preceding pages, needs but a brief preface.
In the following places, with a few others that do not call for mention, the arrangement of the lines departs from that of the Folio and later texts:—1. 1. 59 ff. 1. 2. 1 ff., 32, 84 ff., 95, 100. 1. 3. 57 f. 1. 4. 16, 71 f. 1. 5. 1, 34 f., 72. 2. 2. 9, 83 ff., 157 ff., 230 f. 2. 5. 25, 30 f. 2. 6. 34 f., 82–86, 122 ff. 2. 7. 60 ff., 77, 97 ff., 124 ff. 3. 2. 31 ff. 3. 3. 7 f., 26 f. 3. 6. 24 f. 3. 7. 27 ff. *3. 11. 16, 26 ff. *3. 13. 34 f., 66 ff., 91, 94, *102, 184 ff. 4. 1. 5. 4. 2. 27. 4. 6. 25 ff. 4. 10. 7. 4. 12. 2. 4. 13. 9 ff. *4. 14. 44, 117, 123 ff. 4. 15. 11, 15–21. 5. 1. 24 ff. 5. 2. 62 ff., *130, *147, *156 ff., *350 ff. As is well known, the division of the lines is a point on which the Folio is continually at fault. Some of the changes are briefly discussed in the notes, and the rest, it is hoped, will justify themselves.
