THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
Jaggard reads:—
In howling *wise*, to see my dolefull plight,
How sighes resound through *hartles* ground.
In the third stanza Jaggard’s text differs from that of Weelkes in nearly every line. For example:—
- line 2, Weelkes: Lowde bells ring not cherefully;
- Jaggard: Greene plants bring not forth their die.
- line 4, Weelkes: Nimphes backcreping
- Jaggard: Nimphes blacke [i.e. backe] peeping.
- line 9, Weelkes: Farewell, sweet lasse, the like nere was.
- Jaggard: Farewell sweet loue thy like nere was.
- line 12, Weelkes: Other help for him I know ther’s none.
- Jaggard: Other helpe for him I see that there is none.
In *England’s Helicon*.
The text of this poem in *England’s Helicon* follows closely that of *The Passionate Pilgrim*, and was doubtless taken from the latter volume direct or from the same manuscript. Misprints are corrected. The only textual change of importance is in the last stanza, line 10, where ‘woe’ is replaced by ‘moane’ for the sake of the rime with ‘none’ in the concluding line.
The poem was clearly very popular, and was constantly copied in ‘private’ commonplace books. A transcript of it in a contemporary script in the British Museum, Harleian MS. 6910, fol. 156 b, without author’s name, supplies many readings which differ from the printed versions. These variations are often improvements and probably present the verse in the form that it left the writer’s hand. For example, in Stanza 1, l. 6, the four lines read in the manuscript:—
All my merry Jiggs are *cleane* forgot
All my *layes of Love* are lost God wot
Where my *joyes were firmly linkt* by love
There *annoyes are* placst without remove.
