Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed—inline in the prose passages, marginal in verse—with their original brackets. Page breaks in verse were marked with a simple line |.

Errors and Inconsistencies:

A few Linenotes were separated by semicolons (;) instead of extra space; these have been regularized to line breaks in the e-text.

Line numbers are in multiples of 5. Both in the e-text and in the original book, variations are for mechanical reasons such as unusually long lines, or to avoid collision with marginal folio numbers.

When a new selection began at mid-page, linenotes were sometimes identified by selection number. These were randomly printed in upper or lower case, as “XVII” or “xvii”.
