It has not been thought necessary to record the correction of every turned letter nor the substitution of marks of interrogation for marks of exclamation and vice versÂ. Full-stops have been silently inserted at the ends of speeches and each fresh speaker has been given the dignity of a fresh line: in the double-columned folio the speeches are frequently run on. Misprints in the Quartos and the First Folio are recorded when they appear to be interesting. A word or two from the printed text is attached to the variants recorded below in cases where the variant, by itself, would not be sufficiently clear. Altered punctuation is shown, usually, by printing the old punctuation.

CUPID'S REVENGE.

A = the 1615 quarto. B = the 1630 quarto. C = the 1635 quarto. D = the 2nd folio.

Mrs Arnold Glover has kindly collated the three quartos in the Dyce collection, for the purpose of the following notes; and Mr R.F. Towndrow has kindly collated the three in the Bodleian.

(A) CUPIDS " REVENGE. "(?)" As it hath beene divers times Acted by " the Children of her Majesties " Revels. ¶ By John Fletcher. " LONDON " Printed by Thomas Creede for Josias Harison, and are to bee solde at the Golden Anker in " Pater-Noster-Row. 1615.

The Printer to the Reader.

It is a custome used by some Writers in this Age to Dedicate their Playes to worthy persons, as well as their other works; and there is reason for it, because they are the best Minervaes of their braine, and expresse more puritie of conceit in the ingenious circle of an Act or ScÆne, then is to be found in the vast circumference of larger Volumnes; and therefore worthy an answerable MecÆnas, to honour and bee honoured by them. But not [h]aving any such Epistle from the Authour (in regard I am not acquainted with him) I have made bolde my selfe, without his consent to dedicate this Play to the Juditious in generall, of what degree soever; not insinuating herein with any, be they never so great, that want judgement, for to them it belongs not, though they pay for it, more then in this respect, that like Æsops Cocke, having met with a precious Stone by accident, they knew not the true use thereof, but had rather have a Barlie-corne to their humour, then a perfect Diamond. But leaving them to their ignorance, I once againe dedicate this Booke to the Juditious, some whereof I have heard commend it to be excellent, who, because they saw it Acted, and knew what they spake, are the better to be beleeved: and for my part I censure it thus, That I never red a better.

(B) CUPIDS " REVENGE. " AS IT WAS OFTEN " Acted (with great applause) " by the Children of " the Revells. Written by Fran. Beaumont & Jo. Fletcher Gentlemen. " The second Edition.
