6.  MARENGHI, lines 92, 93.  The 1870 (Rossetti) version of these lines is:—­ White bones, and locks of dun and yellow hair, And ringed horns which buffaloes did wear—­ The words locks of dun (line 92) are cancelled in the manuscript.  Shelley’s failure to cancel the whole line was due, Mr. Locock rightly argues, to inadvertence merely; instead of buffaloes the manuscript gives the buffalo, and it supplies the ‘wonderful line’ (Locock) which closes the stanza in our text, and with which Mr. Locock aptly compares “Mont Blanc”, line 69:—­ Save when the eagle brings some hunter’s bone, And the wolf tracks her there.

ODE TO LIBERTY, lines 1, 2.  On the suggestion of his brother, Mr. Alfred
Forman, the editor of the Library Edition of Shelley’s Poems (1876), Mr.
Buxton Forman, printed these lines as follows:—­
A glorious people vibrated again: 
The lightning of the nations, Liberty,
From heart to heart, etc. 
The testimony of Shelley’s autograph in the Harvard College manuscript,
however, is final against such a punctuation.

8.  Lines 41, 42.  We follow Mrs. Shelley’s punctuation (1839).  In Shelley’s edition (1820) there is no stop at the end of line 41, and a semicolon closes line 42.

9.  ODE TO NAPLES.  In Mrs. Shelley’s editions the various sections of this Ode are severally headed as follows:—­’Epode 1 alpha, Epode 2 alpha, Strophe alpha 1, Strophe beta 2, Antistrophe alpha gamma, Antistrophe beta gamma, Antistrophe beta gamma, Antistrophe alpha gamma, Epode 1 gamma, Epode 2 gamma.  In the manuscript, Mr. Locock tells us, the headings are ’very doubtful, many of them being vaguely altered with pen and pencil.’  Shelley evidently hesitated between two or three alternative ways of indicating the structure and corresponding parts of his elaborate song; hence the chaotic jumble of headings printed in editions 1824, 1839.  So far as the “Epodes” are concerned, the headings in this edition are those of editions 1824, 1839, which may be taken as supported by the manuscript (Locock).  As to the remaining sections, Mr. Locock’s examination of the manuscript leads him to conclude that Shelley’s final choice was:—­’Strophe 1, Strophe 2, Antistrophe 1, Antistrophe 2, Antistrophe 1 alpha, Antistrophe 2 alpha.’  This in itself would be perfectly appropriate, but it would be inconsistent with the method employed in designating the “Epodes”.  I have therefore adopted in preference a scheme which, if it lacks manuscript authority in some particulars, has at least the merit of being absolutely logical and consistent throughout.

Mr. Locock has some interesting remarks on the metrical features of this complex ode.  On the 10th line of Antistrophe 1a (line 86 of the ode)—­Aghast she pass from the Earth’s disk—­which exceeds by one foot the 10th lines of the two corresponding divisions, Strophe 1 and Antistrophe 1b, he observes happily enough that ’Aghast may well have been intended to disappear.’  Mr. Locock does
