ERRATA.
A very few 'slips' have met my eyes on a final reading. They are--as
says an ancient Divine--"as easily corrected as espied." Nevertheless
they are here recorded that the Reader of his charity may put them
right, and any others that may have escaped Editor and Printer. In
_Nosce Teipsum_, the heading and head-line (Vol. I., pp. 25, 26 onward)
has 'Immortalitie' misprinted 'Immortalite'--a common contemporary
spelling--but it is 'tie' in the title-page (p. 5): _ib._ p. 80, l.
15, read 'be best.' In _Hymnes to Astræa_, _ib._ p. 147, l. 3, remove
period (.) after 'rayes.' In _Orchestra_, _ib._ p. 181, st. 53, l. 7,
read 'perfect-cunning': p. 185, foot-note 7, put G. at end: p. 192, st.
81, l. 7, 'Ply' = entwine (omitted): p. 194, foot-note 7, is 'coach,'
not 'couch': p. 202, l. 10, 'shoe' was the contemporary spelling: p.
204, st. 113, l. 6, insert 'it' before 'shine.'--G.
IV. EPIGRAMS, WITH ADDITIONS.
NOTE.
I am indebted to the Bodleian copy--among Malone's books--for my text
of these 'Epigrams.' I have preferred this edition to the two others
that preceded, inasmuch as, while it, like them, bears the imprint of
'Middlebourgh,' there seems no reason to doubt that it was printed in
London: therefore most probably under the author's eye. The volume is a
small 12mo. and the following is the title-page:--
