Transcriber's Notes:
Many stanzas do not end with any punctuation. As author's intent could not be divined, this was retained.
At times, a continued quotation was given a new opening quotation mark at the start of a new page. As, again, author's intent was not obvious this was left as printed. Stanzas across pages were difficult to place.
The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
