16: _The Politics of Shakspere's Historical Plays_. New
Shakspere Society, ii. 1874.

17: _Antonius and Cleopatra_, act i. sc. 4.

18: We mean the usually received text, seeing that the folio edition
of 1623 contains some passages which are wanting in the quarto

20: 'Icy un amas de fleur estrangieres, n'y ayant fourny du mien
que le filet a les lier' (iii. 12).

21: _Winter's Tale_, act iv. sc. 3.
