As the edition of 1634 was published during the author's residence in the University, and so under his own eye, I have made it the basis of our text, though with a vigilant eye on the later corrections; but have given from the edition of 1670 the Greek versions of certain of the Epigrams, and those added (as above). The Epistle-dedicatory to Lany, and related introductory poems of 1634, alone, I prefix to the Epigrammata Sacra, assigning the other poems more fittingly to the Secular Poems (as annotated in the places). The Editor of the second edition, 'auctior et emendatior,' has not been transmitted. For more on the editions of the Epigrammata Sacra, see our Essay and Notes and Illustrations. As explained in our Prefatory Note, the translations of the Latin Poemata et Epigrammata, as of the others, follow the originals successively. A. denotes the translator to be THOMAS ASHE, M.A., Ipswich; B., CLEMENT BARKSDALE (from 'Epigrammata Sacra selecta, cum Anglicâ Versione. Sacred Epigrams Englished. London: Printed for John Barksdale, Bookseller in Cirencester. 1682.' 12mo); CL., Rev. J.H. CLARK, M.A., West Dereham, Norfolk; CR., CRASHAW himself; G., myself; W., Rev. W. ARIS WILLMOTT (from his 'Lives of the Sacred Poets,' s.n. Crashaw); and R. WI., Rev. RICHARD WILTON, M.A., Londesborough Rectory, Market Weighton. In the present and succeeding division those Epigrams translated by Crashaw himself are given under the related Latin--all from the original text of 1646, as before. They consist of Nos. 1, 2, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 20, 21, 26, 29, 36, 40, 42, 43, 47, 49, 51, 54 (two), 56, 57, 63, 64, 68, 85, 91, 93, 101, 104, 106, 108, 115, 117, 140, 157, 160, 164, 169, 184, and 185 in the present, and of Nos. 21, 22, 28, 42, 46, and 55 in next section. It only remains that I add here, instead of noticing in their places, the following more flagrant errors of Turnbull in the 'Epigrammata' and related 'Poemata Latina et Græca.' Similar lists will be found in the introductory notes to the several divisions of this volume. In the Epistle to Lany, line 18, avidi _for_ avide; line 29, amore _for_ amare; in the Ode, st. ii. line 1, ipsi _for_ ipse. In the address 'Lectori,' line 7, abi _for_ alis; line 29, putre _for_ putri; line 48, mens _for_ meus; line 53, fingit _for_ finget; line 70, graves _for_ gravis; line 97, tota dropped out; line 120, negat _for_ neget; in succeeding prose, line 29, Acygmanos _for_ acygnianos. The misprints in the Epigrammata are so numerous, that it is deemed expedient to tabulate them according to our numbering. On the errors in the Greek, see our Preface to the present Volume. No. 1, line 4, ille _for_ hic. 2, heading, Victorem _for_ vectorem. 3, l. 1, ori _for_ oris. 6, l. 2, meæ _for_ mea. 7, l. 4, tanto _for_ tanti. 8, l. 1, vulnere _for_ vulnera. 10, l. 1, tumidus _for_ timidus. 12, heading, Luc. x. 30 _for_ x. 39; and so often. 19, l. 4, decas _for_ decus.
