PROMETHEUS UNBOUND.

The variants of B. (Shelley’s ‘intermediate draft’ of “Prometheus
Unbound”, now in the Bodleian Library), here recorded, are taken from
Mr. C.D.  Locock’s “Examination”, etc., Clarendon Press, 1903.  See
Editor’s Prefatory Note, above.

1.  Act 1, line 204.  B. has—­shaken in pencil above—­peopled.

2.  Hark that outcry, etc. (1 553.) All editions read Mark that outcry, etc.  As Shelley nowhere else uses Mark in the sense of List, I have adopted Hark, the reading of B.

3.  Gleamed in the night.  I wandered, etc. (1 770.) Forman proposes to delete the period at night.

4.  But treads with lulling footstep, etc. (1 774.) Forman prints killing—­a misreading of B. Editions 1820, 1839 read silent.

5. ...the eastern star looks white, etc. (1 825.) B. reads wan for white.

6.  Like footsteps of weak melody, etc. (2 1 89.) B. reads far (above a cancelled lost) for weak.

7.  And wakes the destined soft emotion,—­ Attracts, impels them; (2 2 50, 51.) The editio princeps (1820) reads destined soft emotion, Attracts, etc.; “Poetical Works”, 1839, 1st edition reads destined:  soft emotion Attracts, etc.  “Poetical Works”, 1839, 2nd edition reads destined, soft emotion Attracts, etc.  Forman and Dowden place a period, and Woodberry a semicolon, at destined (line 50).

8.  There steams a plume-uplifting wind, etc. (2 2 53.) Here steams is found in B., in the editio princeps (1820) and in the 1st edition of “Poetical Works”, 1839.  In the 2nd edition, 1839, streams appears—­no doubt a misprint overlooked by the editress.

9.  Sucked up and hurrying:  as they fleet, etc. (2 2 60.) So “Poetical Works”, 1839, both editions.  The editio princeps (1820) reads hurrying as, etc.

10.  See’st thou shapes within the mist? (2 3 50.) So B., where these words are substituted for the cancelled I see thin shapes within the mist of the editio princeps (1820).  ’The credit of discovering the true reading belongs to Zupitza’ (Locock).
