II.-INDEX TO SPECIMENS OF ENGLISH.

Most of the old poems in this volume have such of their words as are still current English spelt in the way that least diverts
attention from the thoughts they stand for; but in the following pieces all accidents of spelling, &c., have been left
untouched, that they may serve as illustrations of the language in successive periods:—
