9th stanza, "_Awaits_ alike." Probably this is also the reading of
the Wrightson MS. Mitford gives it as noted by Mason, and it is
retained by Gray in the ed. of 1768.
The 10th stanza begins,
"_Forgive_, ye Proud, _th' involuntary_ fault
If Memory _to these_," etc.,
the present readings ("Nor you," "impute to these," and "Mem'ry o'er
their tomb") being inserted in the margin.
The 12th stanza has "_reins_ of empire," with "rod" in the margin.
In the 15th stanza, the word "lands" has been crossed out, and
"fields" written above it.
The 17th has "_Or_ shut the gates," etc.
