Note GD — CANTO THE SIXTH.[328]
Reading edition
O'erbalance all the Cæsar's victories.—[MS. A.] Outbalance all the Cæsar's victories.—[MS. B.]
In the Shelley copy "o'erbalance" has been erased and "outbalance" inserted in Byron's handwriting. The lines must have been intended to run thus—
'T is not his conquests keep his name in fashion But Actium lost; for Cleopatra's eyes Outbalance all the Cæsar's victories.
