numerous, suggests that there, too, an editorial pen was working
albeit clumsily. Metrical considerations probably account
for the following alterations :-' so high a rate' (line 19 of 1616
edition) for 'such high proud ratc'j 'a date expired j and
canceld ere begun' (z6) for 'an expired date, canceld ere well
begun'- 'doth march' (301) for 'marcheth' j 'beneath' (5-43)
for ' under 'j 'ever dumb' (11 23) for 'mute and dumb';
' throughout Rome ' (i 8 yi) for ' thorough Rome '. In I. i(58o
the substitution of ' one woe ' for the original misprint ' on
woe 'is ingenious, and the introduction of a hyphen in 1. 1 01 8
to connect the words ' skill ' and ' contending ' betrays intelli-
gence. Other variations of the earlier text are unjustifiable :
' rue ' (4 5" 5") for ' true ' ; ' feeded ' {60^) for ' seeded ' ; ' bersed '
{6^7) for ' hersed ' ; ' mighty ' (58 o) for ' nightly ' ; ' foule lust '
(584) for ' prone lust ' ; ' fears ' ((^9 8) for ' fares ' j ' of reine '
(706) for 'or reine'; 'disdaine ' (785) for 'distain'; Palmers
that' (790) for 'Palmers chat'; 'bannes' (85-9) for 'barnes';
'time' (993) for 'crime'; omission of epithet 'goodly' in
1247; ' held ' (125-7) for 'hild.'

and 1707. (B4for A 4) is repeated. The edition of 1^32 adds some new
misprints (e.g. I. 47,' growes ' for ' glowes '; 1. 1 f <5, ' konur ' for
' honour ' ; I. 28 2, ' cloakt ' for 'choked' ; I. 8 5-4, ' iniquity' for
'impurity'). The reissue of 16 y^ closely adheres to that of
1632, with a few misreadings of its own. The next reprint
figured in the Poems on. Affairs of State (1707), vol. iv,
pp. 143-204. The text is that of i^yy, with a iew worthless
emendations.' Unfortunately the crude misreadmgs of 1707

theeuish cares ' ; I. 1 5 1, ' the wretched hateful Lays' for •=& wretched hateful
