This is a twentieth century print rendering of the text. Note the continued simplification of physical style: the large-font initial letter and clearer type. On the other hand, there is improved editorial technique. Most of Sidney's spellings and his grammar have been restored, and the provisional nature of the long-accepted title is acknowledged by its inclusion in square brackets.
