- 14 THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
Typographi- misccllany is not high. Misprints abound. Numerous lines
and cha?a^c- ^^^ ^^ ^^^7 Stand barely intelligible. Such defects were
tciistics. mainly due to imperfections in the ^ copy ', but they bear
witness, too, to hasty composition and to carelessness on the
part of the press corrector. Few of the irregularities are
beyond the ingenuity of a conscientious overseer to remo^'e.
In Poem IX, the second line of the sonnet is omitted. There
is only one catchword in the whole ^'olume, viz. ' Lord ', at the
foot of B 8 (recto). Capitals within the line are not very common,
but are employed most capriciously. In Sonnet IV, three of the
fourteen lines begin with small letters instead of capitals. At
V, 1. 7, * eases ' rimes with ' there '. Spelling eccentricities
which are scarcely to be differentiated from misprints, include
— II, 1. 12, 'ghesse' for ^guess'; V, 1. i, 'deawy' for 'dewy ' j
XIII, 1, 10, 'symant'for 'cement'; XIV, 1. if, 'scite' for
' cite ' ; ' scence ' for ' sense ' (the word ' sense ' is correctly
spelt VIII, l.d); 1. 19,'ditte'for 'ditty'; XVII, I. 4, 'nenying'
for 'renying'; 1. 8, 'a nay' for 'annoy'; I. 12, 'wo wen for
' women ' ; XVIII, 1. 34,' prease ' for ' press ' ; 1. f i, ' th' are '
for ' the ear '. The volume was a small octavo and the meagre
dimensions of the ' copy ' led the printer to set the type on
only one side of the leaf in the case of twenty-five of the
twenty-eight leaves of text. At tlie top and bottom of each
page of text is an ornamental device of ordinary pattern — no
uncommon feature in small volumes of verse of the period.
