THE SPANISH TRAGEDIE
1587
By Thomas Kyd
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
[Edited by John Matthews Manly, 1897. This electronic text is based on
the earliest extant edition, which is undated but was printed before
1618. Some bracketed text is verbatim from Manly's edition. However,
some bracketed text is taken from alternate editions which Manly
originally supplied in footnotes. As the editor of this electronic
edition, I have sometimes chosen the clearer of two alternatives,
sacrificing the specificity of Manly's footnoted edition in favor of a
text that has a better chance of being read and understood by a modern
audience. I have also excluded the insertions supposed to have been
written by Ben Johnson, as well as the additional dialogue from III.xiii
and IV.iii. Some alternate dialogue has been included as has been
labeled as such.]
Containing the lamentable end of DON HORATIO, and BEL-IMPERIA:
with the pittiful death of olde HIERONIMO.
