Not illustrated. 1834 edition. Excerpt: ...ii. p. 314.) Line 103. With hie stevin. " Voice or sound; it seems to be connected with the following line, Potum meum cum fletu miscebam.' As if he had said, 1 Singing this stave of the penitential psalm, with many tears. "--Hailes. " With that verse, or stanza, in the Psalms, ' / have mingled my drink with weeping? "--Wart On.
