SINGER'S "SHAKESPEARE."

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPEOTATOE:1 SIR,—Pardon me, but in your article on Singer's Shakespeare 'r last week you quote "Macbeth," act. i., scene 7 :— " If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly ;" and then say, "Macbeth says it would be a good thing if the affair- were over when the crime is committed ; it would be done quickly, if," &c. But does not Macbeth say,— " If it were done when 'tis done, then, 'twere well It were done quickly:" "If it were all over at one blow, I would do it at once, 'we'd' jump the life to come' "?—I am, Sir, &c., G. GREY.
