Obscure word

[edit]

The first word in the last line seems hopelessly obscure in the Boston editions, but in v. 2 (p. 303) of the London edition it shows up clearly as "want." The punctuation in the London edition seems a lot less archaic and idiosyncratic as well, but perhaps the Boston edition is a better reflection of the authors'/editors' intent in that regard.
