[fs] {171} If so by Mecca's hidden shrine.—[MS.]
[ft] The day that teareth thee from me.—[MS.]
[147] "Azrael," the angel of death.
[fu] When comes that hour and come it must.—[MS. erased.]

Hath missed a trifle of its mark.—[MS.]
[The couplet was expunged in a revise dated November 19.]
[fw] With life to keep but not with life resign.—[MS.]
