[All]: Aside from issues of sense (see Note to ll. 3-4 below), ll. 2-4 of this stanza present a number of metrical irregularities, which suggest textual corruption; l. 2 is hypometrical, or has suspended resolution in metrical positions 1-2; l. 3 is hypermetrical and alliteration falls in metrical position 3 (if the line is construed as Type C), which is not possible, and l. 4 is hypometrical.
