The main text is shown stanza by stanza. Sidenotes are shown in their original position; linenotes and numbered footnotes (rare) are grouped at the end of each stanza. Headnotes that originally came at mid-stanza have been moved to the following stanza break.
All brackets are in the original. Line numbers in brackets are explained in the Introduction.
Links: Throughout the book, links to line numbers generally lead to the nearest multiple of 5 (printed number). Stanza numbers in the Notes were added by the transcriber to aid in cross-linking. In Sections 2 and 3 of the Introduction, all line numbers are active links. To reduce visual chaos, link highlighting has been turned off. This may be overridden by your personal browser settings.
