Yep - I’m with @sbrackenborough.bsky.social on this: Butler v careful with spelling in this edn (he’s invented his own phonetic orthography here) so not an error— “Marpes[e]”, Amazon Queen (the apostrophe thing after the S is his symbol for lengthening the vowel, as with “Male[s]” in previous line)

The Ponniah is a beautiful new setting of, you guessed it, a poem by George Herbert, 'The Shepherds sing'

I’m looking forward to seeing the fruits of this project - it’ll be great to see the effect of music manuscripts like this on the transmission of verse. What great work @stemma.bsky.social & @erinannmcc.bsky.social
