Transcriber's Notes:
  1. This transcription uses _ characters around italic text,
     ^ to indicate superscripted text, and {} around multi-character
     superscripts.

  2. The author's textual notes occur near the end of the book, before
     the Index to First Lines.

     As an aid to the reader this text uses a different style for
     references to those notes than the printed edition used.

     References to the notes are marked within the text as
     "[number:number]" and within the textual notes section as
     "number:number." For example, [2:1] represents the first note in
     the second poem that has notes; [3:2] represents the second note
     in the third poem that has notes.

  3. Additional Transcriber's Notes occur at the end of the book.

LYRICS: THOMAS STANLEY

  Thy numbers carry weight, yet clear and terse,
  And innocent, as becomes the soul of verse.

                    _JAMES SHIRLEY: To his honour'd
                     friend Thomas Stanley, Esquire,
                     upon his Elegant Poems._ [1646.]
