1. When the First Folio was first published, a deficiency was discovered in act two, scene three of this play. Due to Shakespeare’s close adherence to Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, editors were able to develop a solution for this gap. The two most popular corrections for the missing content are:

   1. And [Censorinus,] nobly named so,
      Twice being [by the people chosen] censor,

   2. [And Censorinus that was so surnamed]
      And nobly named so, twice being censor,

   The former is found in Clark and Wright’s 1887 Victoria edition, and the latter can be found in editions corrected by Dover Wilson. —⁠S.E. Editor ↩
