[Note: This text contains many words with archaic spelling, which
I have not modernized. Also, while the first word of each poem
is usually capitalized, not all of them are, and I have left
the uncapitalized words as is. Finally, in the original text,
the verse was printed with regular type, while the prose was
italicized. I have not indicated these differences for this
online version.]
