Afterwards she was handed over to the charge of Sir John Wentworth, and on his death to that of Sir Owen Hopton at Cockfield Hall. The fact that Hopton was subsequently lieutenant of the Tower has led to the erroneous assumption that the countess was confined there a second time.

363	i	19-1 f.e.	for involved him . . . . Shakespeare avows read led to the production of his 'Sonnets.' Between 1591 and 1597 no aspirant to poetic fame in England failed to seek a patron's ear by a trial of skill as a sonneteer. Shakespeare applied himself to sonneteering when the fashion was at its height. Many critics are convinced that throughout the 'Sonnets' Shakespeare avows
	ii	5-6	for Their uncontrolled ardour read But the two concluding sonnets (cliii. and cliv.) are directly based on an apologue illustrating the potency of love which figures in the Greek anthology (Palatine Anthology, ix. 627). Elsewhere many conceits are adapted from contemporary sonnets by English and foreign writers. Although Shakespeare's poems often seem coloured by personal experience, they were probably undertaken to a large extent as literary exercises. His ever-present dramatic instinct may be held to account for most of the illusion, which they create, of personal confession. Their style
364	i	24-45	for But when all allowance . . . . the twofold influence read No clear and connected story is deducible from the poems, which divide themselves into two main groups.

		12	omit calmness and
		14-22	for The second group . . . . to her seductions (cxxxiii.-cxxxvi.) read In the second group, most of which are addressed to a woman (cxxxvi.-clii.), Shakespeare, in accordance with a contemporary convention of sonneteers, narrates more or less connectedly the story of the disdainful rejection of a lover by a dark-complexioned siren. In one group of six sonnets (xl., xli., xlii., cxxxiii., cxxxiv., and cxliv.), which seem to stand apart from those that immediately precede or follow them, a more personal note appears to be struck. The six poems relate how the writer's mistress has corrupted his friend and drawn him from his 'side.' Sonnet cxliv., published by Jaggard in 1599, suggests the state of feeling generated by this episode. The poet declares that he is tempted by 'two spirits': 'a man right fair,' 'the better angel,' and a woman 'coloured ill,' 'the worser spirit.' The story of intrigue developed in these six sonnets, which is not readily paralleled, may owe its origin to a genuine experience of the poet.

366	i	2	for Pembroke doubtless read Pembroke, who was known from birth until his father's death exclusively as 'Lord Herbert'
366	i	27-31	for But the intrigue . . . . in full tide, read But no historical justification is needed for the creation of that conventional personage, and one of the sonnets in which she figures was surreptitiously published by Jaggard in 1599, before the intrigue between Pembroke and Mary Pitton is known to have begun.
		34	for William Herbert read Lord Herbert
		13-12 f.e.	for The emotional stories . . . . subsided quickly read The story of a lover's supersession by his friend in the favours of a mistress—the burden of those six sonnets that may have a personal significance—may possibly reflect an affair of gallantry in the poet's own life to which obscure reference would seem to be extant elsewhere. The adventure in that case would have caused no lasting wound
