VENUS AND ADONIS 5-3 Leake's edition of k^oo has some textual importance, Leake's which gives it a better title to rank with its predecessors «^'"°" °f of 1X9 3 ^^^ ^^94 ^han with any other issue. It contains a £qw typographical variations which have some intrinsic interest. The more notable changes are: — < smothers' (5-4) for <murthers'j < ill-natur'd ' (134) for < ill-nurtur'd ' ; 'the parke' (231) for <a parke '; < kisses' (5-19) for < touches'; < sight' (74<^) for < fight'; < imperiall ' (748) for 'impartiall'; < their obscuritie' (/do) for <darke obscuritie'; <Bids the leave quaking, mils them feare no more' (899) for < Bids them leave quaking, Ifids them feare no more'; < imperial' (995) for <■ imperious ' ; « and shall be blasted ' (i 142) for < bud, and be blasted'; < sharpest sight' (i 144) for < truest sight'; ' seemes most ' (i i r?) for < showes most '. That the hand of an editor, albeit of a clumsy kind, is responsible for these altera- tions may be deduced from the somewhat complete recon- struction of line J74 by the same pen. The old reading, 'What though the rose have prickles, yet tis pluckt?' is replaced by 'What though the rose have pricks? yet is it pluck'd.' The further emendations which disting-uish subsequent Gradual de editions are comparatively unimportant. But typographical ^^JJ' alterations, mostly of a minute kind, never ceased. By the time the text reached editors and printers of the eighteenth century it had gradually travelled far from that of the original issue, all copies of which for a long time disappeared. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Malone recovered a copy of the editio princeps^ and with its aid he restored thetext to its primordial shape. tenoration e text.
