| 1. | "I've gone" can only refer to the pronoun, not the letter I. | | 2. | Can't agree that 'I've gone' equals 'I is(has) gone', which is what is needed | | 3. | In cryptic, "I've" doesn't work for deleting I. I must go is preferable. | | 4. | 17. Lovely surface, but I would have liked a repetition of "old" in front of "kings…" or something similar to give it more points. |
