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:
-
And [Censorinus,] nobly named so,
Twice being [by the people chosen] censor, -
[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 ↩
