Stanza

XXXVI. In ed. 2:

And drink; and that impassive Lip I kiss'd.

XXXVIII. In ed. 2 the only difference is «For» instead of «And» in the first line; but in the first draft of ed. 3 the stanza appeared thus:

For, in your Ear a moment--of the same Poor Earth from which that Human Whisper came, The luckless Mould in which Mankind was cast They did compose, and call'd him by the name.

In ed. 3 the first line was altered to--

Listen--a moment listen!--Of the same, etc.

XXXIX. In ed. 2:

On the parcht herbage but may steal below.

XL. In ed. 2:

As then the Tulip for her wonted sup Of Heavenly Vintage lifts her chalice up, Do you, twin offspring of the soil, till Heav'n To Earth invert you like an empty Cup.

In the first draft of ed. 3 the stanza is the same as in edd. 3 and 4, except that the second line is--

Of Wine from Heav'n her little Tass lifts up.

XLI. In ed. 2 and the first draft of ed. 3:

Oh, plagued no more with Human or Divine To-morrow's tangle to itself resign.

XLII. In ed. 2:

And if the Cup you drink, the Lip you press, End in what All begins and ends in--Yes; Imagine then you are what heretofore You were--hereafter you shall not be less.

The first draft of ed. 3 agrees with edd. 3 and 4, except that the first line is--

And if the Cup, and if the Lip you press.
