Shakespeare's comedy of The merchant of Venice . the song by the rhythm, and (if weread eye with the quartos) by the rhyme also. All recent editors exceptH. retain them in the text. Salerio (iii. 3. 214).—It is not strange that the similarity in the namesSalarinOy Salanio, and Salerio caused some confusion in the prefixes tothe speeches in the early eds. and also here and there in the text; butthe modern editors have made deliberate alterations that are less excusa-ble than these slips of the old printers. Several of them have changedSalanio to Solanio, though the former is the prevailing form in bothquartos and folios; and K. (followed by D., H., and others) assumesthat Salerio is a misprint for Solanio. It happens, however, that thisname is given with singular uniformity in the early eds.; and, as , the style of Salerios speech shows that he is a person of infe-rior rank to Salarino and Salanio. No doubt some critic would be makingthese latter two gentlemen one, if they did not several times appear onthe stage SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL HALL, STRATFORD.
