All Chapters of The Tempest / The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [9 vols.]: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

II. 1. 267. Ay, sir; where lies that? if ’twere a kibe. Mr Singer and Mr Dyce have changed ‘’twere’ to ‘it were’ for the sake of the metre. But then the first part of the line must be read with a wrong emphasis. The proper emphasis clearly falls on the first, third, and fifth syllables, ‘Aý, sir; whére lies thát?’ See Preface.

III. 1. 15. Most busy lest, when I do it. As none of the proposed emendations can be regarded as certain, we have left the reading of F1, though it is manifestly corrupt. The spelling ‘doe’ makes Mr Spedding’s conjecture ‘idlest’ for ‘I doe it’ more probable.

III. 3. 48. Each putter out of five for one. See Beaumont and Fletcher, The Noble Gentleman, I. 1. (Vol. II. p. 261, ed. Moxon): ‘The return will give you five for one.’ Marine is about to travel.

IV. 1. 230. Let’s alone. See Staunton’s “Shakespeare,” Vol. I. p. 81, note (b).
