User:Sbh/Sir Clyomon and Sir Clamydes (critical edition)/Scene ix

Explanatory Notes

 * prepare: I should have felt no hesitation in altering this word to “repair,” had I not found in the previous portion of the play: “To Suavia soile I swiftly will prepare my footsteps right,” and, in the subsequent part [scene xviii], a passage which is still more to the point: “I, Providence, prepaire / To thee from seate of mightie Joue.”—Dyce


 * For why: because


 * pretence: intention


 * ne: nor


 * frogs: So in one of Campion’s songs:—“A yellow frog, alas! will fright me so / As I should start and tremble as I go.”—Bullen
