Twelfth Night - a textual problem

The opening lines of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night read:

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour!

Alexander Pope emended the word sound (line 5) to south.

A discussion of Pope's motive for this emendation is discussed here:
