The Complete Poems Of Sir John Davies Volume 2 Of 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Complete Poems of Sir John Davies, Vol. 2 of 2 I am indebted to the Bodleian copy - among Malone's books - for my text of these 'Epigrams.' I have preferred this edition to the two others that preceded, inasmuch as, while it, like them, bears the imprint of 'Middlebourgh, ' there seems no reason to doubt that it was printed in London: therefore most probably under the author's eye. The volume is a small 12mo. and the following is the title-page: - All Ovids Elegies 3 Bookes By C. M. Epigrams By J. D. At Middlebourgh. Malone has filled in in MS. 'Christopher Marlowe and John Davis.' Cf. Collier's Bibliographical Account of Early English Literature: Vol I. s.n. The Rev. Alexander Dyce in his collective edition of the Works of Marlowe, has given Davies' "Epigrams" in extenso, with a painstaking collation of the various readings from the other two editions (both undated) together with similar various readings from a Manuscript discovered by him in the Harleian Collection (1836.)
