withstood, have sold.'

47:2. P. 58, line 15. 1647: 'souls that do our life inspire.' 'Human' in
1651, but 'humane,' in the commoner spelling of the time, in 1657.

47:3. P. 59, line 22. Thus in 1651, 1657. 1647 has:

'Guards and defends my heart.'

_The Farewell_ (p. 59).

48:1. P. 59, lines 13-14. The text as given is 1657 only. 1647 has:

'And may, in spite of Fate, thus blest,
Be, by this death, of heaven possess'd.'

And 1651:

'And be, in spite of Fate, thus blest,
By this sad death, of heaven possess'd.'

49:1. _The Exchange: Dialogue_ (p. 60).

'Exchange of Souls': 1647.

49:2. P. 60, lines 5-6. This refrain is omitted after the speeches in
1651, but figures in other editions, earlier and later.

_The Exequies_ (p. 61).

50:1. P. 61, lines 7-8. Text as given in 1651, 1657. 1647 has:

'Whose cold embraces do a victim hide
That, paid to Beauty, on Love's altar died.'

_The Silkworm_ (p. 62).

51:1. P. 62, line 1. 'This': 1651, 1657.

51:2. P. " line 6. All editions read:

pronouns.

51:3. P. 62, line 7. 1651: 'pain.'

51:4. P. " line 10. 1647:

'That her rich work and labours, thou
Wilt,' etc.

_Ambition_ (p. 62).

52:1. P. 63, line 10. Misspelt 'assent' in 1657.

52:2. P. " line 16. 'Honour,' in all texts, obviously wrong.

_Song: 'When, dearest Beauty'_ (p. 63).

53:1. P. 63, line 5. 'Left': 1651; 'least': 1657.

_Song: 'I will not trust'_ (p. 64).

54:1. P. 64, line 15. 'Captive': 1657; the older form in 1647, 1651.

_Song: 'I prithee'_ (p. 65).

55:1. P. 66, line 7. 'That,' 1647, 1651.

_The Loss_ (p. 66).

56:1. P. 67, line 20. This word reads 'thy' in all editions of Stanley.

57:1. _The Self-Cruel_ (p. 67).

Entitled 'Song': 1647.

57:2. P. 68, line 17. 'That' in all texts: but presumably a misprint.

58:1. _An Answer to a Song: 'Wert thou much [?] Fairer'_ (p. 68).

Stanley gives the title inaccurately.

Mr. W. M.'s Wither-like song (the author of which the Editor has not
identified), appears only in the edition of 1651:--
