Dowden and Woodberry print rightly which also appears in Forman’sPercy Bysshe Shelley

Dowden and Woodberry print rightly which also appears in Forman’s

latest text (“Aldine Shelley”, 1892).

 

3.

In a neat and happy home. (54 4.)

For In (Wise manuscript, editions 1832, 1839) the Hunt manuscript reads

To a neat, etc., which is adopted by Rossetti and Dowden, and appeared

in Forman’s text of 1876. Woodberry and Forman (1892) print In a neat,

etc.

 

4.

Stanzas 70 3, 4; 71 1. These form one continuous clause in every text

save the editio princeps, 1832, where a semicolon appears after around

(70 4).

 

5.

Our punctuation follows that of the Hunt manuscript, save in the

following places, where a comma, wanting in the manuscript, is supplied

in the text:—gay 47; came 58; waken 122; shaken 123; call 124; number

152; dwell 163; thou 209; thee 249; fashion 287; surprise 345; free 358.

A semicolon is supplied after earth (line 131).
