Note 71 — Chapter II
Francis Plumptre Beresford Osmaston translation
Den Schenken should be die Schenken, and a few lines below der Kerze should be die Kerze. I omit the Schenken altogether. Of course it is possible der Kerze is Genitive, "in the woe of the taper," and the verb intransitive; but this is very harsh.
