Notes.

I. i. 1. Perhaps we should follow the punctuation of the Folio, and place a note of interrogation after ' again'.

I. ii. 14. damned quarrel'; Johnson's, perhaps unnecessary, emendation of Ff., 'damned quarry' (cp. IV. iii. 206); but Holinshed uses' quarrel' in the corresponding passage.

I. ii. 20-21. Many emendations and interpretations have been advanced for this passage; Koppel's explanation (Shakespeare Studien, 1896) is as follows:-" he faced the slave, who never found time for the preliminary formalities of a duel, i.e. shaking hands with and bidding farewell to the opponent "; seemingly, however, which' should have 'he' (ie. Macbeth) and not slave' as its antecedent,

I. iii. 15. And the very ports they blow'; Johnson conj. 'various ' for 'very'; Pope reads 'points' for 'ports'; Clar. Press edd. ‘orts ': 'blow''blow upon '.

I. iii. 32. 'weird'; Ff., ' weyward' (prob.='weird'); Keightley, 'weyard'.

I. iii. 97-98. As thick as hail Game post'; Rowe's emendation; Ff. read' As thick as tale Can post'.

I. v. 24-26. The difficulty of these lines arises from the repeated words that which' in line 25, and some editors have consequently placed the inverted commas after undone'; but 'that which' is probably due to the same expression in the previous line, and we should perhaps read and that's which' or ' and that's what'.
