Transcriber's Notes:
1. This transcription uses _ characters around italic text,
^ to indicate superscripted text, and {} around multi-character
superscripts.

2. The author's textual notes occur near the end of the book, before
the Index to First Lines.

As an aid to the reader this text uses a different style for
references to those notes than the printed edition used.

References to the notes are marked within the text as
"[number:number]" and within the textual notes section as
"number:number." For example, [2:1] represents the first note in
the second poem that has notes; [3:2] represents the second note
in the third poem that has notes.

3. Additional Transcriber's Notes occur at the end of the book.

LYRICS: THOMAS STANLEY

Thy numbers carry weight, yet clear and terse,
And innocent, as becomes the soul of verse.

_JAMES SHIRLEY: To his honour'd
friend Thomas Stanley, Esquire,
upon his Elegant Poems._ [1646.]
