Beleeue me sir, had I such venture forth, The better part of my affections, wouldīe with my hopes abroad. Your minde is tossing on the Ocean, There where your Argosies with portly saile Like Signiors and rich Burgers on the flood, Or as it were the Pageants of the sea,ĭo ouer-peere the pettie Traffiquers That curtsie to them, do them reuerenceĪs they flye by them with their wouen wings In sooth I know not why I am so sad, It wearies me: you say it wearies you īut how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuffe ’tis made of, whereof it is borne, I am to learne: and such a Want-wit sadnesse makes of mee, My email address for right now are and I hope that you enjoy this.Īnthonio. I wish to make this the best etext possible. If you find any scanning errors, out and out typos, punctuation errors, or if you disagree with my spelling choices please feel free to email me those errors. The text I have used was a composite of more than 30 different First Folio editions’ best pages.
The proof run wasn’t thrown away but incorporated into the printed copies. This is due to the printer’s habit of setting the type and running off a number of copies and then proofing the printed copy and correcting the type and then continuing the printing run.
So there may be differences (other than what I have mentioned above) between this and other first folio editions. So if you don’t like that you can delete everything within the brackets if you want a purer Shakespeare.Īnother thing that you should be aware of is that there are textual differences between various copies of the first folio. Everything within brackets is what I have added.
I have corrected some spelling mistakes (I have put together a spelling dictionary devised from the spellings of the Geneva Bible and Shakespeare’s First Folio and have unified spellings according to this template), typo’s and expanded abbreviations as I have come across them. I have left the spelling, punctuation, capitalization as close as possible to the printed text. The elongated S’s have been changed to small s’s and the conjoined ae have been changed to ae. This was taken from a copy of Shakespeare’s first folio and it is as close as I can come in ASCII to the printed text.
