The manuscript is in two hands, DGR's and Swinburne's. DGR has written out the first 80 lines of the ballad, Swinburne has written out the rest. Most of the corrections are Swinburne's, except for a few textual changes in lines 1-80 that DGR made as he was composing the verse. The actual revisions in lines 1-80 are all by Swinburne.
