I think we should read this in the plural, as no particular poet was regarded as the author of this mythe.


"Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion."

In reading "ho!" for the how of the original editions, I had been anticipated by Malone.


"That she did give me, whose—poësy was

—For all the world like cutler's poetry

Upon a knife—Love me and leave me not."

By punctuating thus, we need not read, with Steevens, 'to me.'
