5.  She saw between the chestnuts, far beneath, etc. (line 154.) The reading of editions 1824, 1839 (beneath the chestnuts) is a palpable misprint.

6.  And sweet and subtle talk they evermore, The pupil and the master, shared; (lines 173, 174.) So edition 1824, which is supported by the Bodleian manuscript,—­both the cancelled draft and the revised version:  cf. note above.  “Poetical Works”, 1839, has now for they—­a reading retained by Rossetti alone of modern editors.

7.  Line 193.  The ‘three-dots’ point at storm is in the Bodleian manuscript.

8.  Lines 202-207.  The Bodleian manuscript, which has a comma and dash after nightingale, bears out James Thomson’s (’B.  V.’s’) view, approved by Rossetti, that these lines form one sentence.  The manuscript has a dash after here (line 207), which must be regarded as ’equivalent to a full stop or note of exclamation’ (Locock).  Editions 1824, 1839 have a note of exclamation after nightingale (line 204) and a comma after here (line 207).

9.  Fragment 3 (lines 230-239).  First printed from the Bodleian manuscript by Mr. C.D.  Locock.  In the space here left blank, line 231, the manuscript has manhood, which is cancelled for some monosyllable unknown—­query, spring?

10.  And sea-buds burst under the waves serene:—­ (line 250.) For under edition 1839 has beneath, which, however, is cancelled for under in the Bodleian manuscript (Locock).

11.  Lines 251-254.  This, with many other places from line 222 onwards, evidently lacks Shelley’s final corrections.

12.  Line 259.  According to Mr. Locock, the final text of this line in the Bodleian manuscript runs:—­ Exulting, while the wide world shrinks below, etc.

13.  Fragment 5 (lines 261-278).  The text here is much tortured in the Bodleian manuscript.  What the editions give us is clearly but a rough and tentative draft.  ’The language contains no third rhyme to mountains (line 262) and fountains (line 264).’  Locock.  Lines 270-278 were first printed by Mr. Locock.

14.  Line 289.  For light (Bodleian manuscript) here the editions read bright.  But light is undoubtedly the right word:  cf. line 287.  Investeth (line 285), Rossetti’s cj. for Investeth (1824, 1839) is found in the Bodleian manuscript.

15.  Lines 297-302 (the darts...ungarmented).  First printed by Mr. Locock from the Bodleian manuscript.

16. 
Another Fragment (A).  Lines 1-3 of this Fragment reappear in a modified
shape in the Bodleian manuscript of “Prometheus Unbound”, 2 4 28-30:—­
 Or looks which tell that while the lips are calm
 And the eyes cold, the spirit weeps within
 Tears like the sanguine sweat of agony;
Here the lines are cancelled—­only, however, to reappear in a heightened
shape in “The Cenci”, 1 1 111-113:—­
 The dry, fixed eyeball; the pale quivering lip,
 Which tells me that the spirit weeps within
 Tears bitterer than the bloody sweat of Christ. 
(Garnett, Locock.)
