Note 101 — THE NORTHUMBERLAND MANUSCRIPT

The word “bounty” indeed, as the other nouns, “Beauty,” “Bays,” etc., is printed in italics in accordance with the practice of the times. That does not, of course, imply that any extra emphasis is on the word. Mr. Dowse omits the italics in the case of the word “beauty,” but emphasises “bounty” and “compells!”
