Summary

An obelisk (†) implies corruption or emendation, and suggests a reference to the Notes.

A single bracket at the beginning of a speech signifies an ‘aside’.

Lincs which Shakespeare apparently intended to cancel have been marked off by frame-brackets.

Stage-directions quoted verbatim from the Quarto are printed with inverted commas.

The reference number for the first line is given at the head of each page. Numerals in square brackets are placed at the beginning of the traditional acts and scenes.
