[Transcriber's note:
Letters that could not be fully displayed are "unpacked" and shown
top-to-bottom within braces:
{GH}, {gh} for small and capital yogh.
{l~l} for double l with a tilde through.
{=u} for u with a macron.
{h-} for h with a line through the top.
{rh} for r with a upwards hook attached to the horizontal stem.
{m~} for a m with a loop back over the character.
{n)} for a n with a ) attached to the right side.
{d+} for the d with a little crook attached to the top right of the d.
{/?} for an ae ligature with an acute accent.
There is also one instance of (on line 391 of the poem) a m with a )
attached to the right side (rendered as {m)} and looks like), but this
is probably a typo for {m~}. I have left this as is.
Text and letters in brackets [ ] is original.
Obvious typos are corrected in this e-text.]
