| Remarks |
Partly supplements stevenso-e1.
The text is mostly in rhymed couplets (with the potential to affect the
frequency of various syntactic constructions).
Following the text, the corpus makes reference to consecutive line
numbers rather than to page numbers.
Contractions in this text are not regularized to the modern standard
(deviating from our usual practice).
The Prologue is omitted from the sample.
