And thanks, and ever thanks; and oft good turns In the First Folio this line reads, "And thanks; and ever oft good turns," which doesn't make good sense or good iambic pentameter. It's generally thought that the printer made a mistake. This emendation, "And thanks, and ever thanks; and oft good turns," was first made by Lewis Theobald (1688-1744), who in 1726 published Shakespeare Restored, or a Specimen of the many Errors as well Committed as Unamended by Mr Pope in his late edition of this Poet; designed not only to correct the said Edition, but to restore the true Reading of Shakespeare in all the Editions ever published.
