The actor, the "I" that tells it, becomes a state of being ("am with him"), and the dash is thus imbued with an authorial presence.(15) This
paraph with its explicit link to authorial presence occurs again, only three sentences later, where, significantly, the "I" in the clause that follows it is not only underlined once but twice; the "I" (Henry James) is emphatically linked to the horizontal line.
The scribe Of (2) had entered a sermon number in the centre of the top margins (both recto and verso), usually adding a

Thus we do not know if this copy had a title (which could have appeared either on a preceding folio or as an explicit); it is uncertain whether the first letter of each line was a capital (the answer is probably not, since the only surviving complete line (50 in Cotton Julius; 36 in Rawlinson), the first of a new stanza, begins with a lower-case m, although it is possible that the A of As which opens the poem had special treatment, if only in size); and we do not know whether the beginning of each stanza was marked by a
paraph in the inner margin (in addition to the line drawn a little way across the page from the inner margin between each stanza).
