Songes and Sonettes written by the right honorable Lorde Henry Haward late Earle of Surrey, and other. Apud Richardum Tottell. Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum. 1557. [Colophon] Imprinted at London in fletestrete within Temple barre, at the signe of the hand and starre, by Richard Tottill, the .xxxi. day of Iuly. Anno. 1557. Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum.

B. L. 4^o. (6³⁄₈ × 4⁵⁄₈). W. 1.

Collation: A-2G⁴, folios numbered. Prose address to the reader. Alphabetical table at the end. At the foot of f. 18^v is the subscription 'Surrey', applying to the foregoing poems. So again at the foot of f. 49^v is the subscription 'T. Wyate the elder', while f. 50 is headed 'Songes and Sonettes of vncertain auctours'. Again on f. 113 occurs the heading 'Songes written by N. G.' (i.e. Nicholas Grimald, the probable editor), while at the end of the poems the initials N. G. are also found. The 'Songs of uncertain Authors' are supposed to include poems by Thomas Lord Vaux, Sir Francis Bryan, John Heywood, Thomas Churchyard, and Edward Somerset. This is the second edition, the first, of which only one copy is known, having appeared on June 5 of the same year. In the second edition thirty poems by Grimald which appeared in the first are replaced by an additional thirty-nine poems by uncertain authors; some of the other matter is also rearranged. The present copy differs throughout from that in the BM, though the date in both is identical, the type having apparently been set up in duplicate. On the verso of the last leaf are some verses in an English hand of the sixteenth or early seventeenth century.
