- LUCRECE 3 7
were accepted
by
Gildon,
who
brought
out
an
edition
of
Shakespeare's
<ā
Poems,'
by
way
of
supplement
to
Rowe's
collective
edition
of
Shakespeare's
plays,
in
1710/
Gildon
did
little
more
than
reproduce
the
poor
text
of
1707,
and
his
text
was
accepted without inquiry
by
other
eighteenth-
century
editors.
Lintott,
in
one of
his
impressions
of
Shake-
speare's 'Poems'
in
1709,
gave
Lucrece
a
title-page
bearing
the
date
i<^3
2,
but he did not follow
the edition
of
that
year
with
much
precision.
It
was not
until
Malone
reprinted
the
poems
in 1780, that
any
collation
was
attempted
of
the
cur-
rent text
with
the
first
edition
of 15-94.
Then
at
length
the
poet's
words were
freed of
a
century
and
a
half's
accumulation
of
ignorant misreadings.
VI
Eight
editions
of
Lucrece
are
known
to
have
been
Census
of
published
between
its
first
issue
in
15-94
and
1(^5-^,
when
the
^^^^^H
last
of
the seventeenth-century
editions
appeared.
Four
editions
came
out
in
Shakespeare's
lifetime respectively, in
1
5-94,
15-98,
1(^0
0,
and
1607.
A
fifth
followed
in 1616^ the year
of
his
death,
and
others in
1621,
1(^32,
and
16
ss-
The
number
of extant copies
of
all
these
early editions
are
very few,
and
it
is
possible that there
were other
editions,
of
which
every
exemplar
has
disappeared. Malone
mentions
editions
of
15-9^
and
1(^02,
but
no
editions
dated
in either
of
these
years have
come
to
light.-
Two of the
known
editions
'
woman
'
for
'workman
'
;
1.
i7^(), 'in
pure
Revenge
' for
'
in
poor revenge'.
The
substitution of
'foul lust'
(1.
6%^)
for
'prone
lust'
and
of 'peal'd'
for
'pild' (in the sense of 'peeled')
in lines
11^7 and
116^ were
attempts
to
make
difficult
words
clear to
eighteenth-century
readers.
' See Ve7ius mid Adonis^ Introduction, pp. 71-1."
An
edition
which was once in the possession of Halliwell-Phillipps
lacked
a
title-page
and was
at
one time declared by him
to
belong
to the year
1610,
but this
is
probably
a
copy
of the edition of 1(^31 (see
No.
XXIX
wfra).
