PROMETHEUS UNBOUND.
The variants of B. (Shelley’s ‘intermediate draft’ of “Prometheus
Unbound”, now in the Bodleian Library), here recorded, are taken from
Mr. C.D. Locock’s “Examination”, etc., Clarendon Press, 1903. See
Editor’s Prefatory Note, above.
1. Act 1, line 204. B. has—shaken in pencil above—peopled.
2.
Hark that outcry, etc. (1 553.)
All editions read Mark that outcry, etc. As Shelley nowhere else uses
Mark in the sense of List, I have adopted Hark, the reading of B.
3.
Gleamed in the night. I wandered, etc. (1 770.)
Forman proposes to delete the period at night.
