I would like to know what Kavanagh actually wrote in this line. Is it

"The worth of passion play" (as given in the DT)

or is it

"The worth of passion's pledge" (which I have heard sung by many singers)

Some lucky person must have a first edition of Kavanagh's poems, or something equally authoritative?

I have read all the Raglan Road discussions btw, (even contributed to some of them) so blue clickies to previous threads won't be of much help here ....
