Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Page [69]: Closing quotation mark added at the end of the two-line verse beginning with “So long as men can breathe, or eyes”.
