"A lion-fell, but else no lion's dam."

So Singer reads; others 'A lion's fell.'


"For by thy gracious, golden, glittering streams."

This is the reading of the 2nd folio; for the old editions repeat 'beams' from the preceding line. "Phebus of gold his stremès down hath sent" (Chauc. Merch. Tale), was probably in the poet's mind; or

"Which erst so glistened with the golden streams,

That cheerful Phœbus spred down from his sphere."

(Induct. to Mir. for Magistrates.)
