52. on a stool.

[D].

The first stanza is numbered 3 in the MS., the second 5, and there is space left, as if for another, between 2 and 3.

[E].

A wee, originally a burden at the middle and the end of the stanza, as in C, D, has been adopted into the verse in 1, 2, 6, 10(?), 11, in which stanzas the even lines are of four accents instead of three. 2, 6 can be easily restored, on the model of C 3, A 6.

54. in the water.

[G].

I, I, I is added as burden to every second and fourth line; except 12, which adds high, high, and 24, only I, I.
