1. The stage directions are those of the First Folio, with necessary additions indicated by brackets.
2. French passages throughout the play have in general been modernized.
3. A few changes have been made in punctuation (such as what, man for what man in II. iii. 19); and the spelling of the following words has been normalized: warlike, ooze, ordnance, antics, villainy, wrecked, lackey, embattl'd.
4. All other departures from Craig's text represent reversions to the reading of the First Folio. In the following list of such changes, the reading of the present edition stands first in the line: the reading of the Oxford Shakespeare follows the colon.
