A Midsummer Night’s Dream, II.2

The First Quarto and First Folio have this word as “humane”. However, virtually every modern text changes it to “human”. The Folger edition goes so far as to put “human” in the text, then define it as “humane”. This PlayShakespeare.com edition keeps it as “humane”, meaning to be considerate or obliging to someone else.
