Note

"We have proposed...to make the whole course of the story clear by resolving inconvenient or difficult passages...into prose; but, at the same time, to allow the reader to be constantly refreshing himself from the 'well of English undefiled,' by leaving all the remainder, including the finest portions of the poetry, in its own nervous and beautiful language."--Introd., p. 3.
