[Illustration: The Phœnix (emblematical of the Restoration) is adapted from Spenser’s Works, 1611.] TABLE OF FIRST LINES In “Merry Drollery,” 1661, 1670, 1691 (_Now first added._) [The Songs and Poems _peculiar to the first edition_, 1661 (having been afterwards omitted), are here distinguished by being printed in Roman type. They are all contained _in the present volume_. Those that were added, in the later editions only, have no number attached to them in our first column of pages, viz. for 1661. The third edition, in 1691, was no more than a re-issue of the 1670 edition, with a fresh title-page to disguise it, in pretence of novelty (see p. 345, _ante_). The outside column refers to our Reprint of the “Drolleries;” but where the middle column is blank, as shewing the song was not repeated in 1670 and 1691, our Reprint-page belongs to the _present volume_. The “Reserved Pieces,” given only in Supplement, bear the letter “R” (for the extra sheet, signed R*).—ED.] FIRST LINES.
