Description
Excerpt from Romeo and Juliet: The Second Quarto, 1599; A Facsimile (From the British Museum Copy, C21, G 18)
The above are the lines as they stand in the text, the numbers denoting the order in which they should have been printed, but line 6 should probably have been altogether omitted It seems quite certain that in the greater part of this Q1 gives a fairly accurate representation of the original play. The following restoration of the ''copy'' [on which the printer of Q2 worked] will, I think, make all clear. The original play (q1) is here printed in Roman type, the revisions and additions in italics.
