The reprint, however, which appears in these copies must be
of considerably later date, as is evident from the constant use of
‘v’ medially. It was probably printed about 1640. Two of the
woodcut figures used as head-pieces were so used (with the same
break in the St Francis) in a book printed, probably by T. Harper,
in 1641 (namely the reprint of ‘The Devil is an Ass’ found in some
copies of the second volume of Ben Jonson’s works, _q.v._).
Evidently the stock of the ‘Iliad’ gave out before the ‘Odessey’
and the first part of the volume had in consequence to be
reprinted. Probably therefore the majority of copies of Chapman’s
‘Homer’ described as being of the edition of 1616 were not in
reality issued till some twenty years later.

=B. L.= 4^o. (6⅜ × 4⅝). W. 1.
Collation: A-2G⁴, folios numbered. Prose address to the reader.
Alphabetical table at the end. At the foot of f. 18^v is the
subscription ‘Surrey’, applying to the foregoing poems. So again at
the foot of f. 49^v is the subscription ‘T. Wyate the elder’, while
f. 50 is headed ‘Songes and Sonettes of vncertain auctours’. Again
on f. 113 occurs the heading ‘Songes written by N. G.’ (_i.e._
Nicholas Grimald, the probable editor), while at the end of the
poems the initials N. G. are also found. The ‘Songs of uncertain
Authors’ are supposed to include poems by Thomas Lord Vaux, Sir
Francis Bryan, John Heywood, Thomas Churchyard, and Edward
Somerset. This is the second edition, the first, of which only one
copy is known, having appeared on June 5 of the same year. In the
second edition thirty poems by Grimald which appeared in the first
are replaced by an additional thirty-nine poems by uncertain
authors; some of the other matter is also rearranged. The present
copy differs throughout from that in the BM, though the date in
both is identical, the type having apparently been set up in
duplicate. On the verso of the last leaf are some verses in an
English hand of the sixteenth or early seventeenth century.
