Noyes need change nothing whatsoever in the text but he should write a new preface "clarifying points that might have been misconstrued and emphasizing the fact that he held no unorthodox views." It was so done.

 [minstrels] The Highwayman -- Alfred Noyes
It is also, IMHO, one of Noyes' most perfect poems, in terms of effortless, compelling rhythm and simple, yet wonderfully lyrical phrases.
Noyes' first volume of poems, The Loom of Years (1902), published while he was still at the University of Oxford, was followed by others that showed patriotic fervour and a love for the sea.
A better version is available at http://www.theofficenet.com/~darkflow/darkweb/highwayman.html and though it has a couple of obvious typo's, including the author's name, the poem is accurate and much more satisfying to the purists of poetry.
