FIRST LINES AND NOTES.

Many of these Poems became immediately popular; and appeared in other contemporary editions than those here quoted, often with great variations in the texts.

All the Works herein quoted were published in London, unless otherwise stated.
Where a text is found associated with music, (M.) is put after its date.

Many of the Songs of this period are not to be found in the Book of the Words of the Play in which they were sung: but were separately published on engraved sheets with the music; usually without any date, or place of publication, which however was London in most cases. G. 306, G. 378 a, H. 150, I. 530, &c. are the Press-marks of the Volumes of such engraved Songs, in the Music Department of the British Museum, from which the present texts have been taken.
