Narration for all 3 acts is in MW Ready for PL!
If anyone could check these it would be helpful otherwise I can check and correct them as I edit.

Act 1 PL OK!

Act 2, at 1:33 text is "The Sorceress and her Inchanteress" you said inchanteresses, if you find it worth changing.

Act 3, at 0:22, same as above

Thanks Rapunzelina

The text is inconsistent between singular and plural but I will make a note to correct it while editing.

I have a quick question about one of the lines for Aeneas.

In act 1 in the original text, one of his lines is "A Hero fall, and Troy once more Empire.", but in the other version with modern spelling it is "A Hero fall, and Troy once more Expire.", which to me seems like it makes much more sense.

Just want to know which spelling to use.

Hi
Thanks for checking this.
Expire is clearly the correct meaning so please say that.
Old documents like the Archive text are very prone to typesetting errors
