This entry is in Capell's MS catalogue but the book is not in the
collection.
A Collection of Poems, In Two Volumes; Being all the Miscellanies of Mr.
William Shakespeare, which were Publish'd by himself in the Year 1609
and now correctly Printed from those Editions. The First Volume
contains, I. Venus and Adonis. II. The Rape of Lucrece. III. The
Passionate Pilgrim. IV. Some Sonnets set to sundry Notes of Musick. The
Second Volume contains One Hundred and Fifty Four Sonnets, all of them
in Praise of his Mistress. II. A Lover's Complaint of his Angry

between the Two Temple-Gates in Fleet-street._
8^o. 2 vols. in one. (6-5/8 × 4-1/4). MS. 5.
The second leaf, signed A 2, contains an 'Advertisement', at the end of
which on A 2^v is the MS note 'I gave M^r Capell the Information of the
opposite Page. R. Farmer'. Then follow two leaves containing a 'Preface'
in Capell's handwriting. The next leaf is B 1. The text has been
carefully corrected throughout by Capell, who has modernised the
spelling. The volume apparently contains Capell's material for an
edition of the Poems, which however were not included in his edition of
Shakespeare's works. The collection was published in 1709. On the
fly-leaf are the lines also in Capell's hand:
[Greek: Baia phagôn, kai baia piôn, kai polla nosêsas,
Opse men, all' ethanon; Errete pantes omou!]
Pain of all sorts to cure, Grief, Labour, Fast,
Death of the latest came, but came at last.
