                    31  _earth_. A, world.

                    57  _Callest_. A, Think'st.          
                    80  _doe_. A, doth.          
                    82  _me_? A, me doe.          
                    92  _humorous_. A, portly.       
                  102-3  _And . . . part_. Repunctuated by ed. Qq have:--              
                         And (hearing villanies preacht) t'unfold their Art
                         Learne to commit them, Tis a great mans Part.         
                   110  _loves_. A, eies.         
                   113  _old_. A, rude.

                         heere.         
                   130  _for_. A, with.         
                   153  After this line B inserts: Table, Chesbord & Tapers
                         behind the Arras. This relates not to the present
                         Scene, but to Scene 2, where the King and Guise play
                         chess (cf. I, 2, 184). Either it has been inserted,
                         by a printer's error, prematurely; or, more probably,
                         it may be an instruction to the "prompter" to see
                         that the properties needed in the next Scene are
                         ready, which has crept from an acting version of the
                         play into the Quartos.         
                   156  _His passe_. A, A passe.         
                   157  _respect_. A, good fashion.         
                   167  _your great masters goodnesse_. A, his wise
                         excellencie.         
                   170  _rude_. A, bad.         
                   180  _Graces_. A, highnes.         
                   192  _bounteous Grace_. A, excellence.

                         And to your deserts
                         The reverend vertues of a faithfull steward.
