55-79; Epilogue 37, 38 (and so kneel . . . queen).
Furthermore, the whole of III. i., containing the
King's famous soliloquy on sleep, is omitted in cer
tain Quarto copies, though added in others. On the
other hand, certain passages, usually shorter and
belonging to the prose scenes, are omitted in the
Folio version; viz., I. ii. 244-251 (But it was . . .
motion); II. ii. 26-31 (and God . . . strengthened);
II. iv. 14, 15 (Dispatch . . . straight); II. iv. 144-
146; II. iv. 428 f. (Come! . . . come, Doll?); III.
i. 53-56 (O! . . . die); III. ii. 340, 341 (yet lech
erous . . . mandrake) ; III. ii. 342-345 (and sung
. . . good-nights); IV. i. 93; IV. i. 95.
I. i. 204, 205. According to Shakespeare, King
Richard II, predecessor and cousin of Henry IV,
was murdered in Pomfret castle at Henry's hint,
after the latter had forced Richard's abdication. Cf.
Shakespeare's Richard II. Richard Scroop, Arch
bishop of York, belonged to a family which was
firmly attached to the cause of Richard.
I. i. 208. Bolingbroke. King Henry, born in
Bolingbroke castle, Lincolnshire.
I. ii. 18. manned with an agate. Attended by a
servant as small as a figure cut in an agate.
I. ii. 25. face-royal. A royal was a gold coin
worth ten shillings. Falstaff is here playing on the
double sense of a 'royal face' and the face stampedon the coin.
I. ii. 38. glutton. The parable of Dives and
Lazarus (St. Luke 16. 19-31) is frequently referred
to by Falstaff, possibly because Dives, 'the glutton/
who 'fared sumptuously every day,' but who went to
hell and called out for the poor man Lazarus to 'dip
the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,'
