222, 223. Note the imperfect rhyme in breath and beneath. Cf. 224-25,
256-57, 435-36, 445-46 below. Such instances are comparatively rare
in Scott's poetry. Some rhymes that appear to be imperfect are to be
explained by peculiarities of Scottish pronunciation. See on 363 below.
227. Shaltered. The MS. has "scathed;" also "rugged arms athwart the
sky" in 229, and "twinkling" for glistening in 231. The 1st ed. has
"scattered" for shattered; corrected in the Errata.
