It covers the period from 1624 to 1707, analyzing the fidelity of each edition to its predecessors and noting specific errors or emendations.\n\n## Context\nThis section is part of a larger work, as indicated by its relationship to the collection \"[PDF Workflow Main Test 2026-01-30T00:26:53](arke:01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y)\". It is also situated within a sequence of related sections, following \"[The alterations of 1616.](arke:01KG6S6KP0DY1DE4QEJM1E6MTH)\" and preceding \"VI\" ([arke:01KG6S6KNXPRRXJXCWVEZ3ABQ7]). The information was extracted from the file \"[pdf-01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF.txt](arke:01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA)\".\n\n## Contents\nThe text discusses the edition of 1624 as a close imitation of the 1616 edition, even repeating a signature error. The 1632 edition is noted for introducing new misprints. The 1655 reissue is described as closely following the 1632 edition, with its own set of misreadings. The text further examines the 1707 edition, which appeared in *Poems on Affairs of State*, vol. iv, and is characterized as using the 1655 text with minor, \"worthless\" emendations. The section also touches upon the influence of these editions on later editors, such as Gildon and Lintott, and highlights Malone's 1780 reprint as the first attempt to collate texts with the original 1594 edition, thereby correcting accumulated errors.","description_generated_at":"2026-01-30T06:25:53.309Z","description_model":"gemini-2.5-flash-lite","description_title":"The editions of 1624, 1632, 1655, and 1707.","end_line":3779,"extracted_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:43.553Z","extracted_by":"structure-extraction-lambda","label":"The editions of 1624, 1632, 1655, and 1707.","source_file":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","start_line":3770,"text":"The editions of 1624, 1632, 1655, and 1707.\n\nThe edition of 1624 follows that of 1616 servilely. Only the title-pages differ. Even the error in the signature (B4 for A4) is repeated. The edition of 1632 adds some new misprints (e.g. l. 47, ‘growes’ for ‘glowes’; l. 156, ‘konur’ for ‘honour’; l. 282, ‘cloakt’ for ‘choked’; l. 854, ‘iniquity’ for ‘impurity’). The reissue of 1655 closely adheres to that of 1632, with a few misreadings of its own. The next reprint figured in the *Poems on Affairs of State* (1707), vol. iv, pp. 143–204. The text is that of 1655, with a few worthless emendations.’ Unfortunately the crude misreadings of 1707\n\n¹ The chief changes were:—l. 35, ‘from theevish Cares’ for ‘From theeuish cares’; l. 161, ‘the wretched hateful Lays’ for ‘&amp; wretched hateful dales’; l. 148, ‘all’ for ‘ill’; l. 317, ‘the Needle’ for ‘her needle’; l. 650, ‘fresh false hast’ for ‘fresh fall’s haste’; l. 684, ‘foul’ for ‘prone’; l. 1520,\n\n<!-- [Page 176](arke:01KG6QCD4YQ76SX7HQFYFWY3P1) -->\nLUCRECE 37\nwere accepted by Gildon, who brought out an edition of Shakespeare's ‘Poems,’ by way of supplement to Rowe’s collective edition of Shakespeare’s plays, in 1710.¹ Gildon did little more than reproduce the poor text of 1707, and his text was accepted without inquiry by other eighteenth-century editors. Lintott, in one of his impressions of Shakespeare’s ‘Poems’ in 1709, gave *Lucrece* a title-page bearing the date 1632, but he did not follow the edition of that year with much precision. It was not until Malone reprinted the poems in 1780, that any collation was attempted of the current text with the first edition of 1594. Then at length the poet’s words were freed of a century and a half’s accumulation of ignorant misreadings.\n","title":"The editions of 1624, 1632, 1655, and 1707."},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6S5J9P132XGSNDYJ7XPN8Z","peer_type":"section","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6S6KP0DY1DE4QEJM1E6MTH","peer_type":"section","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6S6KNXPRRXJXCWVEZ3ABQ7","peer_type":"section","predicate":"next"}],"ver":3,"created_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:43.709Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:25:53.526Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF5C36SQEVDHC9CBNZZJH9K"}}
