servants�察�it came at length to his majesty's ears�察�who shortly thereafter�察�with a few attendants�察�came to visit his neighbor king�察�who was in the meantime at dinner。 King James�察�having sent a servant to demand access�察�was denied the same by a tall fellow with a battle´axe�察�who stood porter at the gate�察�telling there could be no access till dinner was over。 This answer not satisfying the King�察�he sent to demand access a second time�察�upon which he was desired by the porter to desist�察�otherwise he would find cause to repent his rudeness。 His Majesty finding this method would not do�察�desired the porter to tell his master that the Goodman of Ballangeigh desired to speak with the King of Kippen。 The porter telling Arnpryor so much�察�he�察�in all humble manner�察�came and received the King�察�and having entertained him with much sumptuousness and jollity�察�became so agreeable to King James�察�that he allowed him to take so much of any provision he found carrying that road as he had occasion for�察�and seeing he made the first visit�察�desired Arnpryor in a few days to return him a second to Stirling�察�which he performed�察�and continued in very much favor with the King�察�always thereafter being termed King of Kippen while he lived。'
;The readers of Ariosto must give credit for the amiable features with which James is represented�察�since he is generally considered as the prototype of Zerbino�察�the most interesting hero of the Orlando Furioso。;
743。 Glided from her stay。 The MS。 has ;shrinking�察�quits her stay。;
Ruskin asks us to ;note the northern love of rocks; in this passage�察�and adds�此 �Dante could not have thought of his 'cut rocks' as giving rest even to snow。 He must put it on the pine branches�察�if it is to be at peace。; Taylor quotes Holmes�察�Autocrat of Breakfast Table�此 �She melted away from her seat like an image of snow。;
780。 Pry。 Look pryingly or curiously。 In prose on would not be used with pry。
784。 To speed。 To a fortunate issue�察�unless speed be the verb�察�and = pass。
786。 In life's more low but happier way。 The MS。 has ;In lowly life's more happy way。;
789。 The name of Snowdoun。 Scott says�此 �William of Worcester�察�who wrote about the middle of the fifteenth century�察�calls Stirling Castle Snowdoun。 Sir David Lindsay bestows the same epithet upon it in his Complaint of the Papingo��
'Adieu�察�fair Snawdoun�察�with thy towers high�察 �Thy chaple´ royal�察�park�察�and table round�察 �May�察�June�察�and July�察�would I dwell in thee�察 �Were I a man�察�to hear the birdis sound�察 �Whilk doth agane thy royal rock rebound。'
;Mr。 Chalmers�察�in his late excellent edition of Sir David Lindsay's works�察�has refuted the chimerical derivation of Snawdoun from snedding�察�or cutting。 It was probably derived from the romantic legend which connected Stirling with King Arthur�察�to which the mention of the Round Table gives countenance。 The ring within which justs were formerly practised in the Castle park�察�is still called the Round Table。 Snawdoun is the official title of one of the Scottish heralds�察�whose epithets seem in all countries to have been fantastically adopted from ancient history or romance。
;It appears from the preceding note that the real name by which James was actually distinguished in his private excursions was the Goodman of Ballenguich�察�derived from a steep pass leading up to the Castle of Stirling�察�so called。 But the epithet would not have suited poetry�察�and would besides at once�察�and prematurely�察�have announced the plot to many of my country men�察�among whom the traditional stories above mentioned are still current。;
798。 My spell´bound steps。 The MS。 has
;Thy sovereign back �� to Benvenue。; Thy sovereign's steps ��
800。 Glaive。 Sword。 See on iv。 274 above。
803。 Pledge of my faith�察�etc。 The MS。 has ;Pledge of Fitz´ James's faith�察�the ring。;
808。 A lightening。 Some eds。 have ;A lightning。;
809。 And more�察�etc。 The MS。 reads��
;And in her breast strove maiden shame�察 �More deep she deemed the Monarch's ire Kindled 'gainst him�察�who�察�for her sire�察 �Against his Sovereign broadsword drew�察 �And�察�with a pleading�察�warm and true�察 �She craved the grace of Roderick Dhu。;
813。 Grace。 Pardon。
825。 Stained。 Reddened。
829。 The Graeme。 Jeffrey says�此 �Malcolm Graeme has too insignificant a part assigned him�察�considering the favor in which he is held both by Ellen and the author�察�and in bringing out the shaded and imperfect character of Roderick Dhu as a contrast to the purer virtue of his rival�察�Mr。 Scott seems to have fallen into the common error of making him more interesting than him whose virtues he was intended to set off�察�and converted the villain of the piece in some measure into its hero。 A modern poet�察�however�察�may perhaps be pardoned for an error of which Milton himself is thought not to have kept clear�察�and for which there seems so natural a cause in the difference between poetical and amiable characters。;
837。 Warder。 Guard�察�jailer。
841。 Lockhart quotes here the following extract from a letter of Byron's to Scott�察�dated July 6�察�1812��
;And now�察�waiving myself�察�let me talk to you of the Prince Regent。 He ordered me to be presented to him at a ball�察�and after some saying�察�peculiarly pleasing from royal lips�察�as to my own attempts�察�he talked to me of you and your immoralities�此�he preferred you to every bard past and present�察�and asked which of your works pleased me most。 It was a difficult question。 I answered�察�I thought the Lay。 He said his own opinion was nearly similar。 In speaking of the others�察�I told him that I thought you more particularly the poet of princes�察�as they never appeared more fascinating than in Marmion and The Lady of the Lake。 He was pleased to coincide�察�and to dwell on the description of your James's as no less royal than poetical。 He spoke alternately of Homer and yourself�察�and seemed well acquainted with both。;
842。 Harp of the North�察�farewell� �Cf。 the introduction to the poem。
846。 Wizard elm。 See on i。 2 above。
850。 Housing。 Returning to the hive。

Addendum。
Since our first edition appeared we have had the privilege of examining a copy of Scott's 2d ed。 ��1810���察�belonging to Mr。 E。 S。 Gould�察�of Yonkers�察�N。 Y。 This 2d ed。 is in smaller type than the 1st�察�and in octavo form�察�the 1st being in quarto。 A minute collation of the text with that of the 1st ed。 and our own shows that Scott carefully revised the poem for this 2d ed。�察�and that the changes he afterwards made in it were few and unimportant。 For instance�察�the text includes the verbal changes which we have adopted in i。 198�察�290�察�432�察�ii。 103�察�201�察�203�察�534�察�iii。 30�察�173�察�190�察�508�察�v。 106�察�253�察�728�察�811�察�iv。 6�察�112�察�527�察�556�察�567�察�etc。 In vi。 291 fol。 it reads ��including the omissions and insertions�� as in our text。 In i。 336�察�340�察�the pointing is the same as in the 1st ed。�察�and in i。 360�察�the reading is ;dear。; In ii。 865�察�866�察�it varies from the pointing of the 1st ed。�察�but we are inclined to regard this as a misprint�察�not a correction。 In ii。 76 this 2d ed。 has ;lingerewave; for ;lingerer wave�察─�and in ii。 217 it repeats the preposterous misprint of ;his glee; from the 1st ed。 If Scott could overlook such palpable errors as these�察�he might easily fail to detect the misplacing of a comma。 We have our doubts as to i。 336�察�340�察�where the 1st and 2d eds。 agree�察�but there a misprint may have been left uncorrected�察�as in ii。 217。

��FN#1�А �One of Scott's ��on vi。 47�� has suffered badly in Lockhart's edition。 In a quotation from Lord Berners's Froissart ��which I omit�� a whole page seems to have dropped out�察�and the last sentence�察�as it now stands�察�is made up of pans of the one preceding and the one following the lost matter。 It reads thus ��I mark the gap���此 ─�There all the companyons made them �А � 。 。 �А�breke no poynt of that ye have ordayned and commanded。��' This is palpable nonsense�察�but it has been repeated without correction in every reprint of Lockhart's edition for the last fifty years。
