NOTES TO KING RICHARD III.
NOTE I.
The first and second Folios give the title of this play as follows:
‘The Tragedy of Richard the Third: with the Landing of Earle Richmond,
and the Battell at Bosworth Field.’ The third and fourth Folios give
the same except that for ‘Earle Richmond,’ they have ‘the Earl of
Richmond.’ The running title in all is: ‘The Life and Death of Richard
the Third.’
The Acts and Scenes are marked throughout in the Folios, but not in the
Quartos.
NOTE II.
I. 1. 98–100. Pope reconstructed the whole passage thus:
‘What, fellow? nought to do with mistress _Shore?_
I tell you Sir, he that doth naught with her,
Excepting one, were best to do it secretly.’
Steevens rejecting the word ‘alone,’ as an interpolation would arrange
the last and the following lines thus:
‘Were best to do it secretly.
_Bra._ What one
My lord?
_Glou._ Her husband, knave:--Wouldst thou betray me?’
Capell also had omitted ‘alone,’ but made an Alexandrine by continuing
the line to ‘my lord.’
NOTE III.
I. 3. 16. Theobald substitutes ‘Stanley’ for ‘Derby’ throughout,
observing, ‘This is a blunder of inadvertence, which has run thro’
the whole chain of impressions. It could not well be original in
Shakespeare, who was most minutely acquainted with his history and the
intermarriages of the nobility...Thomas Lord Stanley was not created
Earl of Derby till after the accession of that prince (i.e. Henry
VII.); and, accordingly, afterwards in the fourth and fifth Acts of
this play, before the battel of Bosworth-field, he is every where
call’d Lord Stanley. This sufficiently justifies the change I have made
in his title.’
This statement is not quite correct. He is called ‘Derby’ (the word
being, of course, variously spelt) throughout the first and second
Acts. He is called ‘Lord Stanley’ for the first time in Act III.
Scene 2. In Act III. Scene 4 he is called ‘Derby’ in the stage
directions and ‘Stanley’ in the text. He is ‘Stanley’ in Act IV.
Scene 1. In Act IV. Scenes 2 and 3, we find in the Folio ‘Stanley’
both in the stage directions and the text. In the Quarto it is ‘Derby,’
in the stage directions, the name not occurring in the text. In Act
IV. Scene 4, he is called ‘Derby’ in the stage directions. In Act
V. Scene 2, Richmond speaks of him as ‘my father Stanley,’ and in the
next scene he is called ‘Derby’ in the stage directions, and ‘Stanley’
in the text.
The error must have been due to the author, who would not have written
‘my lord of Stanley,’ and therefore we have retained ‘Derby’ wherever
both Quarto and Folio agree in reading it. ‘An editor,’ says Mr Grant
White, ‘is not justifiable in substituting what his author should have
written for what he did write.’
NOTE IV.
I. 3. 322. In Capell’s copy of the seventh Quarto an old MS.
corrector has converted ‘we come’ into ‘welcome.’
NOTE V.
I. 4. 75. After this line which is assigned to ‘_Keep._’ like
the foregoing lines, the Folios insert the stage direction, ‘Enter
Brackenbury the Lieutenant,’ and then prefix ‘_Bra._’ to the next
line, as if Brackenbury and the keeper had been two different persons,
instead of being identical as they are in the Quartos. Pope restored
the reading of the Quartos. Mr Grant White defends the stage directions
of the Folios thus: ‘It was a violation of all propriety to make Sir
Robert Brakenbury, Lieutenant of the Tower, go about with a bunch of
ponderous keys at his girdle or in his hand. These keys were evidently
carried by the keeper, a higher sort of gaoler, but a person of rank
much inferior to that of Brakenbury, the commander of the Tower. The
stage direction and the prefixes of the quarto are probably the result
of the limited number of actors in Shakespeare’s company when the
play was first produced, which caused the easily merged parts of the
_Keeper_ and _Brakenbury_ to be assigned to one performer.’
But Clarence was no common prisoner, and there would be no degradation
in Brakenbury’s acting in person as keeper to a prince of the blood,
at a time when even menial offices were rendered by gentlemen of
good birth not only to royal personages but also to others. We may
observe--though this is of little weight--that the corrector has
omitted to provide for the _exit_ of the Keeper.
On the whole we have decided to adhere to the Quartos, as they
undoubtedly give what Shakespeare originally wrote, and the alteration
found in the Folios is not of such obvious propriety that we should
unhesitatingly attribute it to the hand of the author.
NOTE VI.
I. 4. 110. The speeches in this part of the scene, which are
obviously prose, are printed in the Quartos and Folios as lines of
verse of various lengths.
NOTE VII.
I. 4. 255–264. This passage, including the lines immediately
preceding, stands thus in the first Quarto, which is followed by the
rest, substantially:
‘_2_ What shall we doe?
_Cla._ Relent, and saue your soules.
_1_ Relent, tis cowardly and womanish.
_Cla._ Not to relent, is beastly, sauage, diuelish,
My friend, I spie some pitty in thy lookes:
Oh if thy eye be not a flatterer,
Come thou on my side, and intreat for me,
A begging Prince, what begger pitties not?’
It is thus amplified in the Folios:
‘_2_ What shall we do?
_Clar._ Relent, and saue your soules:
Which of you, if you were a Princes Sonne,
Being pent from Liberty, as I am now,
If two such murtherers as your selues came to you,
Would not intreat for life, as you would begge
Were you in my distresse.
_1_ Relent? no: ’Tis cowardly and womanish.
_Cla._ Not to relent, is beastly, sauage, diuellish:
My Friend, I spy some pitty in thy lookes:
O, if thine eye be not a Flatterer,
Come thou on my side, and intreate for mee,
A begging Prince, what begger pitties not.
_2_ Looke behind you, my Lord.’
Pope adopted the reading of the Quartos, rejecting the last line ‘a
begging...not?’ He was followed by Hanmer and Capell. Theobald followed
the Folios, reading _for life? Ah! you...distress._ Johnson, who gives
in his text the arrangement which Warburton had borrowed from Theobald,
says, in a note: ‘I cannot but suspect that the lines, which Mr Pope
observed not to be in the old edition, are now misplaced, and should be
inserted here, somewhat after this manner.
“_Clar._ A begging...pities not?
_Vil._ A begging prince!
_Clar._ Which of you if you were a prince’s son, &c.”
Upon this provocation the villain naturally strikes him.’
The arrangement which we have adopted was first suggested by Tyrwhitt
and introduced into the text by Steevens, 1793. It involves a rather
violent transposition, but we see no better remedy. As the lines
omitted in the Quarto have all the appearance of being Shakespeare’s
own, we cannot leave them out of the text. We think, however, that they
are out of their right place in the Folio, and that the transposition
suggested by Johnson does not yield a satisfactory sense.
Mr Grant White says: ‘Mr Knight, Mr Collier, Mr Verplanck, and Mr
Hudson follow the Folio; the last only attaining a tolerable sense, by
supposing _Clarence’s_ question, as it appears in the folio, to end at
“would not intreat for life,” and the _Murderer_ to interrupt him in
the beginning of a new sentence, thus:--
‘Which of you, &c........
Would not entreat for life? As you would beg,
Were you in my distress,--
_1 Murd._ Relent!’ &c.--
presuming, I suppose, the Duke to be about to say, ‘As you would beg,
&c., _so I beg_,’ &c. I am unable to look so far into _Clarence’s_
intentions as to decide upon the merits of this reading.’
The punctuation proposed by Mr Hudson had suggested itself
independently to Mr Spedding. The chief objection however to the
reading of the Folio still remains, viz. the awkwardness of the
murderer’s taking up Clarence’s word ‘Relent’ after so long an
interval. If, as we suppose, Shakespeare wrote those additional lines
in the margin of his original MS., nothing is more likely than that
a copyist should have misplaced them. In IV. 3, 52, 53, two lines
undoubtedly added by Shakespeare are thus misplaced in the Folio:
‘That reignes in gauled eyes of weeping soules:
That excellent grand Tyrant of the earth.’
Similarly in Act II. Scene 1, the line
‘Of you Lord Wooduill, and Lord Scales of you,’
which the corrector intended to follow 66, is placed in the Folio after
67. We have not introduced this line into the text, because Shakespeare
would not have introduced it after line 66 as it stands in the Quarto,
nor have altered that line as it is altered in the Folio.
See also IV. 4, 100–104, where, in correcting one mistake of
transposition, another has been made.
See also Note (XIX).
Mr Collier in his second edition, following in other respects the
Folio, inserts three words suggested by his old MS. corrector, thus:
‘Would not entreat for life? As you would beg
Were you in my distress, _so pity me_.’
Mr Knight’s arrangement (ed. 1839), in which he says he has followed
‘the Folio, instead of adopting the arbitrary regulations of the modern
editors,’ is this:
‘_Clar._ Not...................devilish.
My friend................
..................pities not?
Which of you..................
............distress?’
Here perhaps the printer has mistaken Mr Knight’s marginal directions.
If such an error can escape the notice of so careful an editor, how
likely is it to occur in the Folio which could hardly be said to have
an editor at all!
NOTE VIII.
II. 3. 12. Johnson supposed that a line had been lost between lines
12 and 13 after ‘government.’ Malone conjectured that one had been lost
after ‘council under him,’ line 13.
NOTE IX.
II. 4. 1, 2. The Quarto here reads:
‘Last night I heare they lay at Northhampton.
At Stonistratford will they be to night.’
The Folio:
‘Last night I heard they lay at Stony Stratford,
And at Northampton they do rest to night.’
Pope:
‘I heard they lay the last night at Northampton,
At Stony-Stratford they do rest to-night.’
Capell:
‘Last night, I hear, they rested at Northampton;
At Stony-stratford they do lye to-night.’
The correction found in the Folio was probably made, as Malone says,
simply for the sake of the metre. The Folio reading accidentally
coincides with the statement of Hall’s Chronicle, but (what is of more
consequence) it is inconsistent with the next line of the Archbishop’s
speech.
NOTE X.
II. 4. 37. We have followed the Folios in reading ‘Enter a Messenger’
and in assigning the speeches that follow to him rather than to the
Marquess Dorset as is the case in the Quartos. The change must have
been deliberate, and as the Queen does not greet the person who brings
the intelligence, and expresses no anxiety for his safety when she
herself is going to sanctuary, it seems more proper that the messenger
should be one of inferior rank than one so nearly connected with the
Queen. His ignorance of the cause of the arrest of the nobles and the
terms in which he speaks of them are in keeping with the character
of a messenger. In Act IV. Scene 1, the Queen, apparently, meets
Dorset for the first time since Richard’s designs were disclosed, and
passionately urges his escape.
NOTE XI.
III. 1. 169, &c. The reading of the first Quarto is:
‘Well then no more but this:
Go gentle Catesby, and as it were a farre off,
Sound thou Lo: Hastings, how he stands affected
Vnto our purpose, if he be willing,
Encourage him &c.’
NOTE XII.
III. 2. 91–93. In the first Quarto the passage reads thus:
‘But come my Lo: shall we to the tower?
_Hast._ I go: but stay, heare you not the newes.
This day those men you talkt of, are beheaded.’
The reading of the Folios, which we have retained, is not satisfactory,
and looks like an attempt of the editors to amend the defective metre
of the Quartos. The scene opens at four in the morning, and yet Stanley
is made to say, ‘the day is spent.’
NOTE XIII.
III. 4. 5. We retain here the reading in which both the earliest
Quartos and the Folios agree. It doubtless came from the pen of the
author, and is after all a pardonable inaccuracy, such as may easily
escape from the pen of a rapid writer or the tongue of a ready talker.
NOTE XIV.
III. 4. 10–13. We keep the reading of the Quartos but have made a
change in the arrangement of the lines. This is the text of the Quartos:
‘_Buc._ Who I my Lo? we know each others faces:
But for our harts, he knowes no more of mine,
Then I of yours: nor I no more of his, then you of mine:’
The Folio reads:
‘_Buck._ We know each others Faces: for our Hearts,
He knowes no more of mine, then I of yours,
Or I of his, my Lord, then you of mine.’
Pope follows the Folios, but reads ‘Nor’ for ‘Or’ in the last line.
NOTE XV.
III. 4. 78–80. The first Folio reads:
‘Off with his Head; now by Saint _Paul_ I sweare,
I will not dine, untill I see the same.
Lovell and Ratcliffe, looke that it be done.’
The first Quarto has:
‘Off with his head. Now by Saint Paule,
I will not dine to day I sweare,
Vntill I see the same, some see it done.’
Theobald altered Ratcliffe to Catesby, observing in his note, ‘The
scene is here in the Tower: and Lord Hastings was cut off on that very
day, when Rivers, Gray and Vaughan suffered at Pomfret. How then could
Ratcliff at the same instant be both in Yorkshire and the Tower? In
the very scene preceding this we find him conducting those gentlemen to
the block. The players in their edition first made the blunder, as to
Ratcliff attending Lord Hastings to death: for, in the old Quarto, we
find it rightly;--Exeunt: Manet Catesby with Hastings.’ But in the next
scene Theobald, while he makes Lovell and Catesby bring in the head
of Hastings, allows Gloucester, just before their entrance, to say,
‘Catesby, o’erlook the walls.’ Hanmer corrected this inconsistency by
reading, ‘Some one o’erlook the walls.’ We have followed the Folios,
for the difficulties could not be removed entirely without applying
more violence to the text than an editor is justified in using.
NOTE XVI.
III. 5. 10–21. In the first Quarto this passage stands as follows:
And both are ready in their offices
To grace my stratagems. _Enter Maior._
_Glo._ Here comes the Maior.
_Buc._ Let me alone to entertaine him. Lo: Maior,
_Glo._ Looke to the drawbridge there.
_Buc._ The reason we have sent for you.
_Glo._ Catesby ouerlooke the wals.
_Buck._ Harke, I heare a drumme.
_Glo._ Looke backe, defend thee, here are enemies.
_Buc._ God and our innocence defend vs. _Enter Catesby_
_Glo._ O, O, be quiet, it is Catesby. _with Hast. head._
In the last line Q3 has _G, O, be quiet,_ &c. Instead of lines 12–14,
_But what......Lord mayor,_ Theobald read with the Quartos.
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.
NOTE XVIII.
IV. 2. 47 sqq. In this passage we have followed substantially the
reading of the Quartos in preference to that of the Folios.
The first Quarto reads:
‘_Darby._ My Lord, I heare the Marques Dorset
Is fled to Richmond, in those partes beyond the seas where he abides.
_King._ Catesby. _Cat._ My Lord.
_King._ Rumor it abroad
That Anne my wife is sicke and like to die, &c.’
In the seventh and eighth Quartos the second line of Darby’s speech is
divided ‘...seas where he abides.’
The first Folio has:
‘_Stanley._ Know my louing Lord, the Marquesse _Dorset_
As I heare, is fled to _Richmond_,
In the parts where he abides.
_Rich._ Come hither _Catesby_, rumor it abroad,
That _Anne_ my Wife is very grieuous sicke &c.’
Pope follows the Folios and Rowe, except that for ‘Know, my loving
Lord,’ he substitutes ‘my lord,’ ending the next line at _fled_.
Steevens retains the reading of the Folios, but in other respects
adopts Pope’s arrangement, assigning it, more suo, to Sir Thomas Hanmer.
Mr Staunton follows Steevens as regards Stanley’s speech, and then
reads with the Quartos. In the preceding line he reads with the
Quartos: ‘How now what news with you?’
Mr Collier suspects that ‘What’s the news?’ in line 46, is an
interpolation and that the true reading is,
‘How now, Lord Stanley?
_Stan._ Know, my loving lord,
The Marquess Dorset, as I hear, is fled &c.’
NOTE XIX.
IV. 4, 365, 366. The first Quarto alone preserves the proper order of
the lines here. Its words are:
‘_King._ Harpe not one that string Madam that is past.
_Qu._ Harpe on it still shall I till hartstrings breake.’
The second Quarto omits the first line and gives the second to the King,
thus:
‘_King._ Harpe on it still shal I, till hartstrings breake.
_King._ Now by my George &c.’
The third follows the second in omitting the first line, but it
continues the second to the Queen. All the remaining Quartos read with
the third.
The Folios give both lines, but in reverse order, thus:
..............‘graves,
Harpe on it still shall I, till heart-strings breake.
_Rich._ Harpe not on that string Madam, that is past.
Now by my George &c.’
NOTE XX.
IV. 4. 444. We have here followed the reading of the Quartos, in
preference to that of the Folios, in which the passage stands as
follows:
‘_Rich._ _Catesby,_ flye to the Duke.
_Cat._ I will, my Lord, with all convenient haste.
_Rich._ _Catesby_ come hither, poste to Salisbury:’
This seems to show that the text of the Quartos has been amended in the
Folios by no very skilful hand. Rowe endeavoured to amend the passage
by reading in the last line ‘Ratcliff, come hither,’ and in this has
been followed by most succeeding editors.
NOTE XXI.
IV. 4. 512–517. The Quartos here read:
‘_Mes._ Your grace mistakes, the newes I bring is good
My newes is that by sudden floud, and fall of water,
The Duke of Buckinghams armie is disperst and scattered,
And he himselfe fled, no man knowes whether.
_King._ O I crie you mercie, I did mistake,
Ratcliffe reward him, for the blow I gaue him.’
By substituting ‘’Tis’ for ‘My newes is’ in the second line, and
‘Buckingham’s’ for ‘The Duke of Buckinghams’ in the third, the reading
of the Quartos might be retained.
NOTE XXII.
IV. 5. 6–20. We have followed the Quartos in the arrangement of the
lines of this scene. The Folios insert after line 5:
‘So get thee gone: commend me to thy Lord.
Withall say, that the Oueene hath heartily consented
He should espouse _Elizabeth_ hir daughter.’
And in Derby’s last speech they read:
‘Well hye thee to thy Lord: I kisse his hand,
My Letter will resolue him of my minde.
Farewell.’
Pope follows the Folios, except that for ‘Withall say, that’ he reads
‘Say too.’ Capell adopts the arrangement of the Quartos, but reads,
‘Well, hie thee to thy lord’ instead of ‘Return unto thy lord.’
NOTE XXIII.
V. 3. 23–26. In the Quartos these lines are omitted in the present
speech of Richmond, but inserted a few lines lower down, as will be
seen from the following quotation from the first Quarto:
‘_Blunt._ Vpon my life my Lord, Ile vndertake it.
_Rich._ Farewell good Blunt.
Give me some inke, and paper, in my tent,
Ile draw the forme, and modle of our battel,
Limit each leader to his seuerall charge,
And part in iust proportion our small strength,
Come, let vs consult vpon to morrowes busines,
In to our tent, the aire is rawe and cold.’
As the Quartos omit entirely lines 27, 28 and 43, we have followed the
arrangement of the Folios.
NOTE XXIV.
V. 3. 145. In the first and second Quartos the Ghosts of the two
young Princes enter and speak before the Ghost of Hastings. The Folios
and the other Quartos make the Ghost of Hastings enter first. As a
chronological order is observed in the appearance of the other Ghosts
we have thought it best in this case to follow the latter authorities.
This discrepancy between the two earliest editions and the rest seems
to have escaped the notice of Capell and of all other editors.
NOTE XXV.
V. 3. 179. Warburton says: The players, among their other innumerable
absurdities, in the representation of this tragedy, make Richard say
instead of ‘O coward conscience,’ ‘O _tyrant_ conscience!’
He refers to Colley Cibber’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s play: ‘The
Tragical History of King Richard III. Altered from Shakespear. By
Colley Cibber Esq.’
NOTE XXVI.
V. 3. 204–206. Johnson says: ‘These lines stand with so little
propriety at the end of this speech that I cannot but suspect them to
be misplaced. Where then shall they be inserted? Perhaps after these
words, _Fool do not flatter_ (i.e. line 192).’
Rann, following Mason’s suggestion, inserted them after ‘I fear, I
fear’ (line 214), and then, says Mason, Ratcliffe’s reply bidding
the King not be afraid of shadows, would be natural. Mr Grant White
would insert them either after line 178, ‘Soft I did but dream,’ or
after 212, ‘I have dream’d a fearful dream.’ As the Folios omit lines
212, 213, Ratcliffe’s allusion to the shadows, of which he has heard
nothing, _is_ rendered absurd. Yet the absurdity escaped the notice of
all editors before Capell.
NOTE XXVII.
V. 5. We have retained the stage direction of the Quartos and
Folios, ‘they fight. Richard is slain,’ in preference to ‘they fight,
and exeunt fighting’ of Mr Dyce, because it is probable from Derby’s
speech, ‘From the dead temples of _this_ bloody wretch,’ that Richard’s
body is lying where he fell, in view of the audience.
CAMBRIDGE: PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS.
TRANSCRIBER’S ENDNOTE.
Original printed spelling and grammar are retained, with exceptions
noted below. Small caps are changed to all capital letters. Italics
_look like this_. Numerals originally printed as subscripts are shown
inline e.g. “F1”. The changes recommended in the ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA
section have been applied. Verse indents were sized using a monospace
font. Proportional fonts will render the indents less accurately.
Linenotes in the original printed book resided on the page with the
line referenced. In this edition, linenotes have been converted
to footnotes and have been moved to the ends of the respective
plays. Linenumbers, footnote anchors, and the footnote labels are
shown with play number (in this book), Act number, and Scene number
prefixed, coded a–f, a–e, and a–w, respectively. Thus a hypothetical
line/footnote coded "[feb065]" designates line 65 in the sixth play
(King Richard III), Act 5, Scene 2. A linenumber that is not also a
footnote anchor looks like "·feb065·".
Pg. 276, l. cca028: _K. Ken._ is changed to _K. Hen._.
Pg. 318: two linenotes were missing line references. The first, “Sir
John Somerville.]” seems to refer to line cea007; the second, “King E.,
Gloucester,]” seems to refer line cea016; anchors for these have been
added.
In the fourth and fifth plays—“The First Part of the Contention &c.”,
and “The True Tragedie of Richard Duke of Yorke, and the Good Henry the
Sixt”—some words or phrases were printed below or above the appropriate
text line, preceded by left parenthesis “(”. These have been moved to
the correct line of text. Examples include ll. dac113, dar067, eaa116,
eal057, &c.
Pg. 350, Scene III l. 1: the footnote “_let vs_]” was originally
anchored to Scene II l. 81, but Scene II ends at line 80. The anchor
has been changed to Scene III l. 1, i.e. line dac001, in the notation
used in this edition.
Pg. 363, ll. daf024-daf033: these lines were printed as prose, but
with a strange line break after the phrase “true heire to Lyonell
Duke”. This line break has been removed in this edition.
Page 410, l. eaa096: the sentence ending punctuation was not printed,
and none has been supplied herein. On pg. 410, l. eaa129, and in the
linenote associated with it, “T‛was” was printed with a U+201B (single
high reversed-9 quotation mark). This is retained herein, but may not
render properly in some browsers or e-readers. Pg. 411, l. eaa133: the
sentence “Then am I lawfull king” was printed without punctuation,
and none has been supplied. Other instances of missing sentence end
punctuation include l. eae060.
Page 424, linenote to l. ead097: it is not clear whether the hyphen in
“_Night-Owles_ Q3.” should be retained.
Page 428, l. eae076: “_Prince,_” changed to “_Prince._”.
Page 458, l. eas051: the two full stops printed at the end of the line
are retained.
Page 541, l. fbb145: The two speakers for this line were indicated by
a large right curly bracket “}” in the printed book, but like “_Q.
Eliz. & Duch._” in this edition.
Page 622, linenote to l. fec130: “Keigthley” changed to “Keightley”.
