Transcriber's notes
Reading edition
Added a table of contents at the start.
Original tables of contents have been retained for historical interest.
I encoded the character tie symbol as such in the HTML version (Unicode HTML character entity reference decimal 8256), and in the TXT version as a free standing macron (which is in Latin-1).
I only "fixed" punctuation where the poem contained strong hints what the correct punctuation would be. In the same vein I have not normalized or "corrected" spelling, with a few minor exceptions listed below.
An example of confusing punctuation that nevertheless follows a certain logic. "Dank zij Goode! den geever," (page 76): the comma is correct here despite the fact that the next line starts with a capital. The indented text is a second voice interlaced with the first. It's continuation appears to be both the next line and "... quae exsuperat omnem sensum." Such cases make it impossible for a mere transcriber to decide whether certain variant spellings were intentional or accidental.
Fixed printer's error on page 16: "ootmood" to "ootmoed" ("o" to "e").
Normalized punctuation on page 48: "en twijfel zwak," to "en twijfel zwak." (comma to full-stop).
Fixed printer's error on page 52: "zwoege" -> "zwoegen" (final "n" added).
Fixed printer's error on page 72: "Jahrhundert lang verkannt," to "Jahrhundert lang verkannt." (comma to full-stop).
Fixed printer's error on page 107: "waereld, terzelfder uure." to "waereld, terzelfder uure," (full-stop to comma).
Changed "Koele Meidag" in the table of contents on page 93 to "Koele Mei-dag" to reflect the poem's actual title.
