Where to begin

Begin on PDF page 3 (printed page 11), or read the whole first chapter before isolating a passage. Chapter II begins on PDF page 10 and III on page 17.

Keep in mind

The 26-page file contains 25 historical pages and a modern credits page. The printing is distinct from the manuscript and later transcriptions: III:37 prints “fill me”; a separate note proposes “Harden” for II:68 while the verse prints “Harder.” Our reader normalizes page wrapping and spacing; consult the scan for letter forms and typography.
