LYRICAL BALLADS
William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Editor's note:
This is the original version of Lyrical Ballads, taken
from the first anonymous Bristol imprint of 1798. No attempt has been made
to correct the text, with the exception that the corrections indicated on
the original errata slip have been made. The copy in the British Museum
contains two tables of contents, one including Coleridge's "The
Nightingale," while the other includes his "Lewti." Both poems appear in
the book, with duplicate pagination, and this has been retained as found in
the original. Pagination appears to the right of your screen; when no folio
number is found at the head of a page, the corresponding page number is
shown here within parentheses. Although this electronic text has been
proofread, no warranty is made or implied as to its accuracy. The editor
does not wish to copyright his presentation of this book, and places it in
the public domain for the enjoyment of scholars and general readers alike.
