Yet all Divine shall be his Godlike Sway, }

When even our Comets speak all Health and Peace.

ERRATA.
[Transcriber's Note:
The author's Errata list was printed at the bottom of the page in a
single block of small type, heavily smudged and not always legible.
In at least one case, the requested change appears to be what the text
already says. For these reasons, changes listed have _not_ been made.
The text of each complete line is given in brackets.]
