Scene the First.
Pag. 92. l. 8, &c. What need ye be asham'd o' marrying one of a good Family, tho' of mean Fortune; especially one, as you believe, you had your Daughter by, that's now at home.] This is a very good Preparation for to make way for the tenth Scene of the fourth Act.
Ibid. l 14, &c. For ye ne'r can look upon her Grave, but y'offer Thanks for her Departure.] Cujus quoties sepulcrum vides, sacrificas illico Orco hostiis. It was a common Cu∣stom in those Days, when a Man has got rid of an ill Wife, that makes way for another, to offer a Sacrifice to Pluto for his good Fortune. But this was more than a Translation need to take notice of.
