In our Preface to the present Volume we give the title-pages of the
original publications wherein appeared the Royal and Academical
Poems of this section; in the translation of which I owe again
thanks to the friends of the former divisions, as their initials
show; and another, Professor Sole, of St. Mary's College, Oscott,
Birmingham, to whom I am indebted for that bearing his initials. One
to the 'Princess,' celebrated before, is here printed as well as
translated for the first time, as noted in the place. It was deemed
preferable to include it with the others rather than among those
hitherto unprinted. For brief notices of the various Royal and
Academical celebrities of these poems, see Memorial-Introduction and
related English poems in Vol. I. and notes in their places in the
present Volume.
Once more I note here the chief errors of Turnbull's text: 'Ad
Carolum,' &c. l. 11, 'perrerati' for 'pererrati;' l. 26, 'discere'
for 'dicere:' in 'In Serenissimae Reginae' &c. the heading is
'Senerissimae;' l. 14, 'tuos' for 'tuus;' l. 41, 'Namque' for 'Nam
quae;' l. 43, 'Junus' for 'Janus:' in 'Principi recens' &c. l. 4,

for 'vexerit;' l. 21, 'tuos est' for 'tuas eat;' ll. 24, 27, and 28,
