Harris F. Fletcher, "The Seventeenth-Century Separate Printing of Milton's Epitaphium Damonis," JEGP, LXI (1962), 788-796.

Compare my conclusion as to the same relationship of the first edition of "Lycidas" to the second edition of 1645 in "Establishment of a Text of Milton's Poems Through a Study of Lycidas," PBSA, LVI (1962), 318.

I use the facsimile in Professor Fletcher's John Milton's Complete Poetical Works (1943), Vol. I.

"Contributions Toward a Milton Bibliography," The Library, Fourth Series, XVI (1936), 425-432. Comparison may be made with Mathewes' work in the 1621 edition of Donne's "Anniversaries." The font is identical; the double cuspated "A" of the text type is found (e.g., "And," p. 10, "First Anniversary"); the regular roman question mark occurs eleven times in the "First Anniversary" and seventeen times in the "Second Anniversary," and five times in the italic texts of "Praise of the Dead," "Funeral Elegie," and "Harbinger," which also show six italic question marks. There is again no capital "U" in this font.

See my "Epitaphium Damonis: Lines 9-13 and the Date of Composition," MLN, LXXI (1956), 324.

"On Shakespear," the Hobson poems, and "Lycidas" were, of course, published in collections.

See my "Certain Relationships of the MSS of Comus," PBSA, LIV (1960), 38-56.
