Cumberland Beggar.'" The first part of the title ("Old Man Travelling ") was omitted. In the later texts the last six lines are omitted.

PAGE 191.-The Complaint of a Forsaken Indian Woman. Composed, 1798. In stanza I the fifth and sixth lines were changed to

"In rustling conflict through the skies,

I heard, I saw the flashes drive."

This poem was omitted by Wordsworth from all subsequent editions.

PAGE 201.-Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey.

Composed, 1798. "I began it," says Wordsworth, "upon leaving Tintern, after crossing the Wye, and con

cluded it just as I was entering Bristol in the evening, after a ramble of four or five days with my Sister. Not a line of it was altered, and not any part of it written down till I reached Bristol." The only noteworthy change of text is in 11. 13-15—

"Among the woods and copses lose themselves,
Nor, with their green and simple hue, disturb
The wild green landscape,"

for which the final text reads

"Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves

'Mid groves and copses."

The earlier visit to the Wye was that of 1793, which followed Wordsworth's wanderings on Salisbury Plain. See note on "The Female Vagrant."
