In 1600, a quarto edition was printed from the octavo, with amendments. A 1619 edition, also in quarto, may have been based on both earlier versions, with further changes. The First Folio version, with its amended title, was probably typeset from manuscripts by Shakespeare and possible collaborators: it is a third longer than the quarto versions (but with briefer stage directions).\u2028<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u2018I\u2019ll hear no more; die, prophet, in thy speech!
