Wordsworth, William
English poetry -- 18th century; English poetry -- 19th century
Now joy for you and sudden chear,
Ye Watchmen upon Brancepeth Towers;
Looking forth in doubt and fear, 1815.
[59] 1837.
Forthwith the armed Company 1815.
[60] 1837.
... hail ... 1815.
[61] 1837.
... the mildest birth, 1815.
[62]
With tumult and indignant rout
Inserted in the editions of 1815 to 1832.
[63] 1827.
Came Foot and Horse-men of each degree, 1815.
[64] 1827.
And the Romish Priest, ... 1815.
[65] 1827.
But none for undisputed worth 1815.
[66] 1815.
Like those eight Sons--embosoming
Determined thoughts--who, in a ring 1827.
The text of 1837 returns to that of 1815.
[67] This line was added in 1837.

They stood, and girt their Father round;
Such was his choice,--no Steed will he 1815.
[70] 1845.
He stood upon the verdant sod, 1815.
... grassy sod, 1820.
[71] 1837.
... higher ... 1815.
[72] 1827.
Rich ... 1815.
[73] 1837.
... --many see, ... 1815.
[74] 1837.
... these ... 1815.
[75] 1837.
... on ... 1815.
[76] 1837.
He takes this day ... 1815.
[77] 1837.
Stretched out upon the ground he lies,--
As if it were his only task
Like Herdsman in the sun to bask, 1815.
[78] 1820.
That he ... 1815.
[79] 1837.
And Neville was opprest with fear;
For, though he bore a valiant name,
His heart was of a timid frame, 1815.
[80] 1837.
And therefore will retreat to seize 1815.
[81] 1837.
... comes; ... 1815.
[82] 1837.
... giving ... 1815.
[83] 1837.
--How often hath the strength of heaven 1815.

On which the grey-haired Barons stood,
And the infant Heir of Mowbray's blood.
Beneath the saintly Ensigns three,
Their confidence and victory! 1815.
Stood confident of victory! 1820.
[85] 1837.
