Plate 24
. . . .
Dost thou forgive me? thou who wast Dead & art Alive? [58]
. . . .
I die! I die in thy arms tho Hope is banishd from me. [60]
<[ ]>
Thundring the Veil rushes from his hand Vegetating Knot
by Knot. . . .
The D and A of "Dead" and "Alive" in
line
58 were mended from lower-case letters, before etching. After line 60 a full
line was deleted, perhaps after shallow etching, for a few faint shadows of
parts of letters remain. A line related to line 60, including "Hope is
banish'd from me" (Albion's last words), is deleted and varied on Plate 47
(which see).
