The reading of the present text appears to the left of the square bracket. The earliest sources of readings not in F, the First Folio text (upon which this edition is based), are indicated as follows: 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 the First Folio; corr. means the second or corrected state of the First Folio. ~ stands in place of a word already quoted before the square bracket; ^ indicates the omission of a punctuation mark.
