I’m with Toni!

From which edition of Astrophil and Stella are you sharing? I’m interested in the footnotes.

It's the Norton Anthology of English Literature, Vol. 1. Footnote 7: "Resting place on a journey," Footnote 8: "Impartial," Footnote 9: "Throng. 'Proof': proven strength." Footnote 1: "The offer of gifts to Morpheus, god of sleep, is a poetic convention. A likely source is Chaucer's Book of the Duchess, lines 240-269.
