3310 for to be made] Elze (ed. 1882): “After these words [F1] adds the line: for such a Guest is meete. Hamlet does not allow the clown to bring his song to an end, but cuts him short after the first line.”

3311 Jenkins (ed. 1982): “The extra line in F ((cf. iv.v.164 [2918], II.i.53 [946])) is evidently an actors’ addition. See Intro., p. 62, and SB, XIII, 40-1.”
3311 Jenkins (ed. 1982, Introduction, 62): Jenkins merely enumerates this additional line as an “actor’s habit” that F1 retains and which Q2 does not.
