Comments:

CONTENTS: Latin text, pp.195-197. OTHER COMMENTS: "The whole probably edited by Pope." (ESTC) Index to both volumes is bound at the back of volume II. Index to vol. I contains a number of errors and omissions. A poem in the previous (5th) edition (T5782) is omitted here ('O be thou blessed with all that heaven can send', Poem ID 12301). As a result, pagination differs in this edition from p. 206 onwards. Two poems close to the end, found in the previous edition, are also omitted: 'So bright is thy beauty so charming thy song' and 'Two or three visits and two or three vows'.
