Note X

V. 5. We have adhered in the stage directions as nearly as possible to the Folios, which throughout the play mark no division of the scenes, except at the end of an Act. Rowe first omitted the Exeunt. Theobald, who also continued the scene, gave Alarm. Retreat. Excursions. Both Parties go out. Re-enter King Edward, &c.

Capell first made a new scene here and, altering the relative position of the stage directions, gave Exeunt both the Armies. SC. V. Alarums; Excursions; afterwards a Retreat. Then, Enter, as from Conquest, King Edward, &c.

Capell’s arrangement has, as usual, been followed by subsequent editors.
