COMPLAINTS
The text is based on the Q of 1591, the only
edition of Complainls published in the hletime
of Spenser Different extant copies of this Q
supply for a few passages different readings
Our text is printed from the Bodleian copy,
and variants are quoted from the Huth Q
At the British Museum, among the Harleian
MSS, is a transcript of Complaints dating
from 1596, which supplies a few variants.
These are quoted as Harl MS F also in
places enables us to correct the text, and in
places gives new readings The more important
of these are recorded below, but
where F merely corrects the punctuation of
Q the change has not been recorded unless it
seems peculiarly significant and interesting
