II. 3. 7-9. Pope's reading is as follows:
'Still growing in a majesty and pomp,
The which to leave, a thousand-fold more bitter
Than sweet at first t'acquire.'
Theobald, followed by Hanmer, has:
'Still growing to a majesty and pomp,
The which to leave's a thousand-fold more bitter
Than sweet at first t'acquire.'
Capell reads, following the arrangement of the Folios:
'Still growing in a majesty and pomp,—the which
To leave, 's a thousand fold more bitter, than
'Tis sweet at first to acquire.'
