Cancels were printed, but apparently not implemented, for 2nd B1 and C3,4. That for ² B1 (at end of John Rylands University Library of Manchester copy) is printed only on the recto, has the first paragraph of verse immediately followed by the first 4 lines of the third paragraph (Collis .. commantes), and has catchword "Hesperi-" leading to original B1v line 11 from the bottom; this cancel was apparently intended to be pasted on the recto, with a blank slip on the verso covering the rest of the cancelled text. That for C3,4 (at end of Cambridge University Library copy) is printed on C3r-C4r only, beginning "Venus" instead of "Vnus" and omitting all after the first 2 lines on original C3v except the final 18 lines of the poem--STC. |
