by Ebenezer Cooke

Transcriber's Notes:

1. The original spellings of words have been retained.
2. Typos or suspected typos have been noted by [sic.].
3. The long "s", which appears as an "f" with the right part of the cross missing, has been replaced with "s".
4. Lines joined with brackets in the original have been indented three additional spaces.
5. Quote marks at the beginning of successive lines have been changed to the modern convention of one opening double quote and one ending double quote at the end of the quoted text.
6. Footnotes in the poem appear as lower-case letters in parentheses. They are alphabetical from (a) to (oo) (excluding j, like in the original) and have been grouped at the end of the book.
