l. 133. -----
"Till quite dejected with my scorn, etc." The first edition
reads this stanza and the first two lines of the next thus:--
Till quite dejected by my scorn,
He left me to deplore;
And sought a solitude forlorn,
And ne'er was heard of more.
Then since he perish'd by my fault,
This pilgrimage I pay, etc.
l. 135. -----
"And sought a solitude forlorn". Cf. 'Gentle Herdsman:--
He gott him to a secrett place,
And there he dyed without releeffe.
l. 141. -----
"And there forlorn, despairing, hid, etc." The first edition
for this and the next two stanzas substitutes the following:--
And there in shelt'ring thickets hid,
I'll linger till I die;
'Twas thus for me my lover did,
And so for him will I.
'Thou shalt not thus,' the Hermit cried,
And clasp'd her to his breast;
The astonish'd fair one turned to chide, --
'Twas Edwin's self that prest.
