[Footnote 18: With the grouping of _1635_ I have adopted generally its order within the groups, but the reader will see quite easily what is the order of the _Songs_ in _1633_ and in _D_, _H49_, _Lec_, if he will turn to the Contents and, beginning at _The Message_ (p. 43), will follow down to _A Valediction: forbidding mourning_ (p. 49). He must then turn back to the beginning and follow the list down till he comes to _The Curse_ (p. 41), and then resume at _The Extasie_ (p. 51). If the seven poems, _The Message_ to _A Valediction_: _forbidding mourning_, were brought to the beginning, the order of the _Songs and Sonets_ in _1635-69_ would be the same as in _1633_. The editor of _1633_ began a process, which was carried on in _1635_, of naming poems unnamed in the manuscripts, and re-naming some that already had titles. The textual notes will give full details regarding the names, and will show that frequently a poem unnamed in _D_, _H49_, _Lec_ remains unnamed in _1633_.] [Footnote 19: There is one exception to this which I had overlooked. In _D_, _H49_, _Lec_, _The Undertaking_ (p. 10) comes later, following _The Extasie_.] [Footnote 20: When in 1614 Donne contemplated an edition of his poems he wrote to Goodyere: 'By this occasion I am made a Rhapsoder of mine own rags, and that cost me more diligence to seek them, than it did to make them. This made me aske to borrow that old book of you,' &c. _Letters_ (1651), p. 197.] [Footnote 21: Five are to the Countess of Bedford--'Reason is', 'Honour is', 'You have refin'd', 'To have written then', and 'This Twy-light'. One is to the Countess of Huntingdon, 'Man to Gods image'; one to the Countess of Salisbury, 'Fair, great and good'; and one to Lady Carey, 'Here where by all.'] [Footnote 22: In citing this collection I use _TC_ for the two groups _TCC_, _TCD_.] [Footnote 23: Additional lines to the _Annuntiation and Passion_, 'The greatest and the most conceald impostor', 'Now why should Love a footeboys place despise', 'Believe not him whom love hath made so wise', 'Pure link of bodies where no lust controules', 'Whoso terms love a fire', _Upon his scornefull Mistresse_ ('Cruel, since that thou dost not fear the curse'), _The Hower Glass_ ('Doe but consider this small Dust'), 'If I freely may discover', _Song_ ('Now you have kill'd me with your scorn'), 'Absence, heare thou my protestation', _Song_ ('Love bred of glances'), 'Love if a god thou art', 'Greate Lord of Love how busy still thou art', 'To sue for all thy Love and thy whole hart'.]
