- THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM 23
first. The text of the second, at any rate, of Jaggard’s sonnets is superior to that in Thorpe’s collection. In Jaggard’s first sonnet (No. CXXXVIII of 1609) he reads The first sonnet.
Vnskilfull in the worlds false forgeries (l. 4) for Vnlearned in the worlds false subtilties.
Jaggard’s lines 6–9 run:—
Although I know my yeares be past the best:
I smiling, credite her false-speaking toung,
Outfacing faults in Loue, with loues ill rest.
But wherefore sayes my loue that she is young?
These lines, if less polished, are somewhat more pointed than the later version:—
Although she knowes my dayes are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue,
On both sides thus is simple truth supprest:
But wherefore sayes she not she is uniust?
Line 11,
O, Loues best habite is a soothing toung,
became in 1609,
O loues best habit is in seeming trust;
while the concluding couplet—
Therefore Ile lye with Loue, and Loue with me,
Since that our faults in Loue thus smother’d be;
appeared ten years later in the different but equally ambiguous form:—
Therefore I lye with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lyes we flattered be.
Jaggard’s second sonnet shows fewer discrepancies with The second sonnet.
