Line 18 has a marginal note on 'scower'—'But when he does so, he verifies the Proverb, viz. Æthiopem lavat.'
Lines 29, 30 read:
O were your verses stol'n, that so we might
Hope in good time to see them come to light.
After line 36 is the couplet:
I hope some wit when he your honour hears,
Will praise your mother's eyes' turpentine tears.
In line 42 is printed 'everlastin' with the note '[g] aufertur in fine, per Apocopen'.
4 The blessed word 'stero (it should be 'sterro' or 'stereo') -pegeretic' (a rather erratic compound from πήγνυμι) is very likely Austin's own for 'strongly put together'.
