It was extracted from the file `pdf-01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF.txt` and is part of the larger collection \"[PDF Workflow Main Test 2026-01-30T00:26:53](arke:01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y)\". The section covers a range of issues, from repeated words and incorrect numbering to font errors and unusual punctuation.\n\n## Context\n\nThis section is situated within the front matter of a facsimile edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets, specifically under the heading \"[FACSIMILE OF THE EDITION OF 1609](arke:01KG6S4GWQC7KPJ59BAYCY3HXR)\". It follows a discussion of the words 'Were' and ‘wear’ and precedes a section on punctuation irregularities. The errors described highlight the challenges in accurately reproducing historical texts and the variations that can exist between different copies of the same edition.\n\n## Contents\n\nThe \"Miscellaneous errors.\" section identifies several specific errors in Shakespeare's Sonnets:\n\n*   **Sonnet CXLVI:** Lines 1 and 2 contain a repetition of \"My sinfull earth,\" which disrupts the sense and meter.\n*   **Sonnet CXVI:** Incorrectly headed as \"119\".\n*   **Sonnet CXXII:** The initial word \"Thy\" is printed as \"TThy\".\n*   **Sonnet LXXIX:** The initial \"W\" is from a wrong font.\n*   **Catchword Errors:** Nine errors are noted in the catchwords across various copies, with \"To\" appearing instead of \"Thou\" at C3 (recto), and \"Eternall\" for \"Eternal\" at C4 (verso).\n*   **Page Numbering Errors:** In several instances (D2 recto, E3 recto, F verso, G2 verso, H3 verso, and I2 recto), the correct page numerals (46, 70, 82, 106, 130, and 142) are replaced by words such as \"Mine,\" \"That,\" \"I grant,\" \"When,\" \"My,\" and \"Loue.\"\n*   **Sonnet CXXVI:** The end of this sonnet features two pairs of brackets enclosing blank spaces. This is attributed to the printer's mistaken belief that the sonnet was incomplete, with missing lines 13 and 14, leading to the insertion of a vacant space.","description_generated_at":"2026-01-30T06:26:13.377Z","description_model":"gemini-2.5-flash-lite","description_title":"Miscellaneous errors.","end_line":9608,"extracted_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:08.806Z","extracted_by":"structure-extraction-lambda","label":"Miscellaneous errors.","source_file":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","start_line":9587,"text":"Miscellaneous errors.\n\n<!-- [Page 458](arke:01KG6QHPVH9T2EKSP4R4BQTFHQ) -->\n47\n# SONNETS OF SHAKESPEARE\n\nThere was an obvious error in the ‘copy’ of the first two lines of *Sonnet* CXLVI. 1, 2:—\n\nPoore soule the center of *my sinfull earth*,\n*My sinfull earth* these rebbell powres that thee array.\nThe repetition of the three last words of line 1 at the beginning of line 2 makes the sense and metre hopeless.\n*Sonnet* CXVI is wrongly headed 119.\n\nThe first word of *Sonnet* CXXII, *Thy*, appears as *TThy*. The initial ‘W’ of *Sonnet* LXXIX is from a wrong fount. The catchwords are given more correctly in some copies than in others, but nine errors are found in all. At C3 (recto) *To* appears instead of *Thou*; at C4 (verso) *Eternall* for *Eternal*; at E (recto) *Crawls* for *Crawles*; at D2 (recto), E3 (recto), F (verso), G2 (verso), H3 (verso), and I2 (recto), *Mine, That, I grant, When, My*, and *Loue* appear instead of the numerals 46, 70, 82, 106, 130, and 142, which are the headings respectively of the next pages (the numeral is given correctly in like circumstances in seven other places).\n\nThe appearance of two pairs of brackets, one above the other, enclosing blank spaces, at the end of *Sonnet* CXXVI is a curious irregularity, due probably for once to the printer’s scruples, albeit mistaken. The poem is not a regular sonnet: it consists of six riming couplets—twelve lines in all. But it is complete in itself, and it is not uncommon to find poems of the same kind and length inserted in sonnet-sequences of the day. The printer, however, imagined that it was a sonnet with the thirteenth and fourteenth lines missing, and for these he clumsily left a vacant space which he vaguely expected to fill in subsequently.¹\n\n¹ The suggestion that the printer intended the empty brackets to denote the close of the first section of the sonnets, most of which were addressed to a man, and the opening of a second section, most of which were addressed\n\n<!-- [Page 459](arke:01KG6QHPTE7C1VQNH919E9X2Z2) -->\n48 SONNETS OF SHAKESPEARE\n","title":"Miscellaneous errors."},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6S4GWQC7KPJ59BAYCY3HXR","peer_type":"frontmatter","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6S5J9XTMAPT994K65DWSSF","peer_type":"section","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6S5J9X8QSFHNJNXBBP26W0","peer_type":"section","predicate":"next"}],"ver":3,"created_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:09.533Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:26:13.587Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF5C36SQEVDHC9CBNZZJH9K"}}
