(87) Tut] So 4to 1604.--The later 4tos "But."

(88) Robin] Old eds. "the Clowne" (and so frequently afterwards): but he is evidently a distinct person from the "Clown," Wagner's attendant, who has previously appeared (see p. 111). Most probably the parts of the Clown and Robin were played by the same actor; and hence the confusion in the old eds.

(P. 111. (this play):

"Enter WAGNER and CLOWN.

WAGNER. Come hither, sirrah boy." etc.)

(96) He views] So 4to 1616.--2tos 1624, 1631, "To view."

(97) with this] So 4tos 1616, 1631.--2to 1624 "with HIS." This passage is sufficiently obscure.

(112) thorough] So 4to 1631.--2tos 1616, 1624, "through."

(113) my] Qy. "one"?

(114) cunning] So 4tos 1624, 1631.--2to 1616 "comming." (And so in the fourth line of the next speech.)
