VENUS
AND
ADONIS
authority
attaches
to
any
of
them.
The
contractions
are
for
the
most
part
removed,
but
several
are
confusedly
inserted
in
new
places
;
'
When
'
((^41)
is
replaced
by
'
VVhe
',
'
wound
'
(loyi)
by
<
woud
',
though
the
succeeding
word>
drecht
'
is
reproduced
as
<drencht'.
The
more
obvious
misprints
are
removed,and
in
some
places
the
spelling
is
improved;
e.
g.
'yron'
(26^)
is
replaced
by
<
iron
'
;
<
lyon
'
{67^)
by
<ā
lion
'
;
<
ougly
'
(1041)
by
'
ugly
';
<
desier'
(3<^)
by <desire';
<donne'(749)
by
<done'; <sproong'(iid8) by
^sprung';
*smel'(ii7i) by<smell';
< wil ' (i 1 8 8) by < will '. Most words ending in ' -ie ' in the first
edition are given the modern termination of <-y ' in the reissue.
<Stormie', *lustie', <angrie', <beautie', <heauie', 'prettie',
< drie ', &c., reappear in 1 5-94 as < stormy ', < lusty ', < angry ',
< beauty ', < heavy ', < pretty ', < dry ', &c. On the other
hand in several places the spelling assumes cruder and less
familiar shapes in the new edition; e.g. 'tongue' (1069)
becomes <tong', < Shepherds' (a-tt) becomes < sheapheards ',
< henceforth' (108 1) becomes < hencefoorth ', 'destroy' (7<^o)
The emen- bccomes ' dcsttoie '. The only actual changes of words are
unimportant, and on the whole are disadvantageous. In
line 123, <Loue keepes his reuels where there are but
twaine,' the new edition reads l/e for are. In line 203,
< O had thy mother borne so hard a minde,' the new edition
reads ' so l?ad a minde'. In line 484 ' all the earth releeueth' is
replaced by ' all the world relieveth '. More definite injury
is done to the sense in line 35-3, where ' tender' is suffered to
displace 'tendrer' (i.e. more tender). There was clearly no
intention on the part of the compositor or publisher to revise
the text systematically. The variations are due to the acci-
dental and occasional intervention of the corrector of the press.
Nevertheless all the new readings of 1794 were religiously
followed in the subsequent reprints.
