l. 80. _Cragged and steep._ The three epithets, 'cragged', 'ragged', and 'rugged', found in the MSS., are all legitimate and appropriate. The second has the support of the best MSS. and is used by Donne elsewhere: 'He shall shine upon thee in all dark wayes, and rectifie thee in all ragged ways.' _Sermons_ 80. 52. 526. Shakespeare uses it repeatedly: 'A ragged, fearful, hanging rock,' _Gent. of Ver._ I. ii. 121; 'My ragged prison walls,' _Rich. II_, V. v. 21; and metaphorically, 'Winter's ragged hand,' _Sonn._ VI. i. ll. 85-7. _To will implyes delay, &c._ I have changed the 'to' of _1633_ to 'too'. It is a mere change of spelling and has the support of both _H51_ and _W_. Grosart and Chambers take it as the preposition following the noun it governs, 'hard knowledge to'--an unexampled construction in the case of a monosyllabic preposition. Franz (_Shak.-Gram._ § 544) gives cases of inversion for metrical purposes, but only with 'mehrsilbigen Präpositionen', e.g. 'For fear lest day should look their shapes upon.' _Mid. N. Dream_, III. ii. 385. Grosart, the Grolier Club editor, and Chambers have all, I think, been misled by the accidental omission in _1633_ of the full stop or colon after 'doe', l. 85. Chambers prints: To will implies delay, therefore now do Hard deeds, the body's pains; hard knowledge to The mind's endeavours reach. The Grolier Club version is: To will implies delay, therefore now do Hard deeds, the body's pains; hard knowledge too The mind's endeavours reach.
