The division of stanzas as made in the MS. has been changed in 195-236, 685-736. Of course all the stanzas were originally of four verses, but in some cases it is not now possible to determine at what points verses have been lost. Two lines are in the MS. indicated (conjecturally, no doubt) to have dropped out after 412, 482, 704. 413,4 have been supplied from the copy in Herd’s first volume. There are asterisks in Herd I after 524.
