antepenultimate line question mark
[edit]According to Bartleby.com, in both the Yale Book of American Verse and The Harvard Classics’ English Poetry III: From Tennyson to Whitman, the antepenultimate line of Lowell’s “The Present Crisis" reads:

with an exclamation mark rather than a question mark.
