[41] Old ed. "from."
[42] Motto.
[43] Sighed.
[44] Also in Wit's Recreations (with slightly altered text).
[45] Old form of "guest."
[46] There is an inferior version of this poem in Wit's Interpreter.
[47] This is the heading in the MS. Archdeacon Hannah, in his valuable edition of Raleigh's poems, makes no mention of this MS. poem. The last stanza, with a couple of lines tacked on, was printed in Raleigh's Remains, where it is stated to have been "found in his bible in the Gatehouse at Westminster." The whole poem is very much in Raleigh's manner; and I congratulate myself upon its discovery.
[48] MS. "discovers."
[49] This line is omitted in the MS.
[50] Both the MS. and printed copy read "pleasures."
