The reading of the present text appears to the left of the square bracket. Unless otherwise noted, the reading to the left of the bracket is from Q, the First Quarto text (upon which this edition is based). Q survives in two states, identified as Qa and Qb. Qa contains the first printed version of 2.4.347–400 and 3.2.0–108. Qb contains the second printed version of these two passages and the first printed version of the scene (3.1) between them. Qb’s version of the twice-printed text may be based on the Qa printing of it. Therefore our edition follows Qa for the twice-printed passages. We list only the Qb variants that affect meaning. The earliest sources of readings not in Q are indicated as follows: F is the First Folio of 1623; F2 is the Second Folio of 1632; F3 is the Third Folio of 1663–64; F4 is the Fourth Folio of 1685; Ed. is an earlier editor of Shakespeare, beginning with Rowe in 1709. No sources are given for emendations of punctuation or for corrections of obvious typographical errors, like turned letters that produce no known word. SD means stage direction; SP means speech prefix; uncorr. means the first or uncorrected state of Q or F; corr. means the second or corrected state of Q or F; ~ stands in place of a word already quoted before the square bracket; ^ indicates the omission of a punctuation mark.
