Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Poems: Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, the Passionate Pilgrim, Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Music, the Phoenix and Turtle
The text of the poems in this edition differs little from that of the Cambridge Editors. In a few words the spelling of the originals is restored for the sake of the rhythm. In the case of ed (of past tenses and participles), not preceded by a vowel and not forming a separate syllable, the e is elided in the body of the line. At the end, it is elided or not according to the text of the oldest copies. Otherwise, double rimes might have been obscured. I have not given a place in the text to any conjecture of my own, with the exception of an added comma in T he Passionate Pilgrim, xiv. 30 but I have suggested new readings or pointings in the notes to Lucrece, I 35 and 1545, and T he Passionate Pilgrim, iii. 12, vii. 3, 5, xiv., xv. II, 14, and xxi. 46. Some of these have already appeared in Notes and Queries.
