Note 219 — THE CORSAIR.[197]
Reading edition
{259} [The word "to" had been left out by the printer, and in a late revise Byron supplies the omission, and writes—
"To Mr. Murray or Mr. Davison. Do not omit words—it is quite enough to alter or mis-spell them. Bn."
In the MS. the line ran—
"To send his soul—he scarcely cared to Heaven."
"Asked" is written over in pencil, but "cared" has not been erased.]
