Note XVII

IV. 1. 92–94. In the second Folio there is a curious mistake here. In the margin of the first Folio, from which the second was printed, some one had inserted the stage directions, ‘to Dorset,’ ‘to Anne,’ ‘to the Queene,’ which the printer mistook and gave as part of the text thus:

‘Duc. Yorke. Go to Richmond, to Dorset, to Anne, to the Queene, and good fortune guide thee, &c.’

The error is repeated in the third Folio and, strange to say, corrected in the fourth, where the stage directions are inserted in their proper places. It also inserts the word ‘thou,’ which had been omitted in the second and third Folios.
