NOTE XVII.

v. 2. 4. Warburton adopts Theobald's reading and copies in substance his note, but he has not claimed it in his copy of Theobald's edition. The conjecture was originally made in one of Theobald's letters to Warburton. Capell adopted the emendation, but afterwards repented.

NOTE XVIII.

EPILOGUE, 4. Mr Collier, in his second edition, quotes this substitution of 'succeeding' for 'exceeding,' but does not say by whom it was proposed.

OR,

WHAT YOU WILL.

Lords, Priests, Sailors, Officers, Musicians, and other Attendants.

SCENE: A city in Illyria, and the sea coast near it.

1 First given by Rowe. See note (1).

TWELFTH NIGHT;

OR,

WHAT YOU WILL.

ACT I.

SCENE I. An apartment in the DUKE's palace.

Enter DUKE, CURIO, and other Lords; Musicians attending. Duke. If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die.

That strain again! it had a dying fall:

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more :
"Tis not so sweet now as it was before.

O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou!
