Based on the above comparisons, giving particular weight to Project Gutenberg (a carefully proofread project), I changed lines 32 and 36. —{admin} Pathoschild 00:22:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] remove link to eulogy
I removed this because I the word linked here I believe is meant to be a derivitive of -ology. As in "the study of"' Biology, Zoology, etc. I will however make a trip to a local libary which has a copy of "The Reader's Guide" and see what it says regarding this poem.--BirgitteSB 14:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

- Yes and no. I went to the university which had a copy of the old Reader's Guide (only 100 were printed so I had never seen one in person before). However after writing seven volumes of notes on Kipling's prose, the notes on his entire corpus of verse as well as copies of all his unpublished and lesser-published poems are contained in only one volume. It does not have the sort of detail that his verse is given in the New Reader's Guide (which is a work in progress and hasn't done this poem yet). So I have some detailed publication information to add and the date it was written; but there were no notes on the content.--BirgitteSB 14:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
