VIII. In the editions of 1645 and 1673 this Sonnet has no title. In the Trinity Ms. there was originally, in the handwriting of the amanuensis who transcribed the Sonnet, 'On his dore when yo Citty expected an assault.' This was struck out by Milton, who in his own hand substituted 'When the assault was intended to yo Citty.' 3. If dead...please] 1673. If ever deed of honour did thee please Trin.

Ms. originally had blooming vertues, then blooming vertue, then blooming was altered to prospering, and finally growing vertues was written in the margin. 13.

for which he substituted

passes to bliss at ye midd watch of night

and then altered watch to hour.

X. Title as in MS.

3. lived in] left them Trin. MS. originally.

XI. Not in ed. 1645. The heading was first prefixed to the following Sonnet, which was originally numbered 11, to ‘follow y° 10. in yo printed booke,' as the MS. says. In ed. 1673 the order of Sonnets XI. and XII. was changed to the present. The first draft is in Milton's own hand, and there is a fair copy by another. 1. A book was writ] I writt a book Trin. Ms. (first draft). 2. woven] weav'd it Trin. Ms. (first draft). 3. The...walk'd] It went off well about Trin. Ms. (first draft). 4. intellects; now] wits; but now is Trin. Ms. (first draft). 8. is it] 1673 (Errata). is 1673. it is Keightley. 9. Galasp?] Galasp. Keightley. 10. rugged] barbarous Trin. Ms. (first draft), altered to rough hewn and then to rugged.

XII. Not in ed. 1645. In Trin. Ms. there are two copies, one in Milton's own hand, the other in that of an amanuensis. 4. cuckoos] buzzards Trin. Ms. (first draft). 10. And...free] And hate the truth wherby they should be free Trin. Ms. (first draft), corrected by Milton to the present reading.

XIII. Not in ed. 1645. In the Trinity Ms. there are three copies. First, a rough draft in Milton's own hand, then a fair copy also by Milton, and lastly a copy by an amanuensis. The heading of the first is 'To my freind Mr Hen. Laws Feb. 9. 1645.'

This was left when Milton

struck out the first draft and wrote the fair copy, to which it was evidently intended to serve as a heading. But the amanuensis who wrote the third copy inserted instead, and also before his own transcript, 'To Mr Hen: Laws on the publishing of his Aires,' and the heading of the third copy was still further changed by omitting 'the publishing of.' 3. Words...scan] words with just notes, wch till then us'd to scan or when most were wont to scan Trin. Ms. (first draft). 4. committing] misjoyning Trin. Ms. (first draft) in margin. 5. worth] wit Trin. Ms. (first draft), worth being struck out, but afterwards restored. 6. With...wan] and gives thee praise above the pipe of Pan Trin. Ms. (first draft). 7. after age] Trin. Ms. (first draft). after-age Trin. Ms. (fair copies). the man] a man Trin. Ms. (first draft). 8. That...tongue] that didst reform thy art, the cheif among Trin. Ms. (first draft). air] aires Trin. Ms. (Milton's fair copy) originally. 9. lend] Trin. Ms. (three copies). send 1673. 12. Dante...higher] Fame by the Tuscan's leav, shall set thee higher Trin. Ms. (first draft). 13. The MS. of the rough draft is blotted, but it seems that Milton first wrote

then old Casell' whom Dante won to sing.

The changes he afterwards made were consequent upon the changes in the previous line. 14. milder] mildest Trin. Ms. (first draft), originally.

XIV. Not in ed. 1645. In 1673 it had no title. In 1713 it is called 'An Elegy.' In the Trinity MS. the title as given here is in Milton's hand. Of this Sonnet as of the last there are three copies in the Ms. The first is Milton's rough draft, the second his fair copy, and the third a copy by an amanuensis. 3. load] clod Trin. Ms. (first draft). 4. from life] from blis Trin. Ms. (third copy), originally. Of death...sever] Of Flesh & sin, wch man from heavn doth sever Trin. Ms. (first draft).

ever] In his first draft Milton wrote

6-8. Stay'd...

Strait follow'd thee the path that Saints have trod
Still as they journey'd from this dark abode
Up to ye Realm of peace & Joy for ever.

In the second of these lines he changed as to when and afterwards wrote in the margin the lines as we have them.

9. Love...best] Faith who led on ye way, & knew them best Trin. Ms. (first draft) originally. This was changed to

Faith shew'd ye way, & shee who saw them best and so it stood at first in Milton's fair copy, but finally he altered it to what we have in the text. 11. that] thence Trin. Ms. (first draft) in] Trin. Ms. (Milton's two copies).
