The defacer of these Sonnets has not drawn dutiful but inoffensive thin lines through the text to indicate offending passages while nonetheless leaving them legible for the delectation of the venturesome reader. Pieces of paper pasted over crossed-out passages, found elsewhere in the volume, as well as the furious ink curlicues that cover both text and occasional lines even of commentary, make vividly clear that the perpetrator wanted these passages permanently effaced.
