Transcriber's Notes:
- Fixed spelling and punctuation errors throughout

- There are several words with the same letters but diacritical marks in different locations, these appear to all be valid, so were left per the text
- Shakespeare is spelled Shakspeare throughout, this is a spelling of his name used in the 19th century, so was left per the text
- Goose-swans and geese-swans appear to be used interchangeably, left to match the text
- There are several words that are spelled both with and without a hyphen (i.e. crosstrees and cross-trees), they have been left to match the text
