Transcriber's note:
Archaic and variable spelling was preserved as printed.
Missing quotation marks were added to standardize usage.
Otherwise, the editor's punctuation style was preserved.
Authors' and First Lines' Indices were updated to match
the poems.
As noted in the Preface, some poems have been altered
from the original by Patmore for content and length.
Special notation:
Text in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
Emphasized text within italics is enclosed by plus signs
(+emphasized text+).
Text in bold face is enclosed by equal signs (=bold=).
