Note 90 — ACT II.
Reading edition
[Compare Watson's "Ecatompathia" (1582), Sonnet 47:
"More fierce is my sweete loue, more hard withall, Then Beast or Birde, then Tree or stony wall."
Tyrwhitt pointed out to his friend George Steevens that the same verses occurred in Harl. MS., 3277, and Steevens did not discover, till he had copied them out, that the MS. was nothing more than a copy of the "Ecatompathia," with certain variations of very little consequence.]
