Thanks Bookpossum. If it wins I might also go with the gutenberg edition that you downloaded and fantasyfan referenced to make sure I have the right version, though I hope the formatting will be okay because sometimes those gutenberg texts are a mess and that could be an especial problem for poetry.
I have in mind the original 1798 edition. The formatting looks fine to me in that edition.

It's worth mentioning that one can get the Oxford edition in the Kindle store which has both the 1798 and 1802 editions allowing one to make textual comparisons. Gutenberg also has a two volume edition from 1800 but the formatting in that edition gets some justified complaints.
