Excerpt from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: A Romaunt The punctuation of the poem has been very carefully revised. Many super¿uous commas have been deleted, many semicolons re placed by commas, many exclamation-points transposed from the middle to the end of the sentence, and sundry other changes made that seemed to be required by the usage of the present day. The original pointing, which has been retained in all the other editions known to me, was liable in some instances to mislead even editors and critics. I suspect that Byron's use of the semicolon where we should put the comma was the real cause of the confusion in pointing and construing the perplexing passage (11. 97. 6 fol.) mentioned above.
