NOTES FROM FLY-LEAVES, NO. II. 
DR. FARMER ON DRAYTON'S WORKS. 
The following bibliographical memoranda, 
in the well-known hand of Dr. Farmer, occur 
in a copy of the edition of Drayton’s Poems 
published in 1619, in small folio, by John 
Smethwick, which contains “ The Barons’ 
Wars; England’s Heroical Epistles; Idea ; 
[No. 2. 
Odes ; The Legends of Robert Duke of Nor- 
mandie, Matilda, Pierce Gaveston, and Great 
Cromwell; The Owle; and Pastorals, contain- 
ing Eglogues, with the Man in the Moone.” 
‘They may be of use to some future editor 
of Drayton, an author now undeservedly 
neglected, whose Mymphidia alone might 
tempt the tasteful publisher of the “ Aldine 
Poets” to include a selection, at least, of his 
poems in that beautiful series :— 
“The Works of Michael Drayton, Esq., were 
reprinted in folio, 1748. The title-page ‘ promises 
all the writings of that celebrated author, but his 
Pastorals (p. 433. &e., first published imperfectly 
in 4to. 1593) and many other of his most consi- 
derable compositions (Odes, the Owle, &c., see the 
Appendix), are not so much as spoken of. See 
his article in the Biog. Brit. by Mr. Oldys, cu- 
riously and accurately written. 
“« Another edition (which is called the best) was 
printed in 4 yols. 8vo. 1753. Robson, 1765. 
“ A Poem Triumphant, composed for the Society 
of the Goldsmiths of London, by M. Drayton. 
4to. 1604. Harl. Cat. v. 3. p. 357. 
“‘ Charles Coffey was the editor of the folio edit. 
1748: he had a large subscription for it, but died 
before the publication; and it was afterward 
printed for the benefit of his widow. See Mottley, 
p. 201. 
Pe The print of Drayton at the back of the title- 
page, is marked in Thane’s Catalogue, 1774, 7s. 6d. 
“ N.B. The copy of the Barons’ Warres in this 
edition differs in almost every line from that in the 
8vo. edit. 1610. 
“Tt was printed under the title of Morti- 
meriados, in 7 line stanzaes. 
“ Matilda was first printed 1594, 4to., by Val. 
Simmes. Gaveston appears by the Pref. to have 
been publish’t before. Almost every line in the 
old 4to. of Matilda differs from the copy in this 
edit. A stanza celebrating Shakespeare’s Lucrece 
is omitted in the later edition.” 
“ Tdea. The Shepherd’s Garland. Fashion’d in 9 
Eglogs. Rowland’s sacrifice to the 9 Muses, 4to. 
1593. But they are printed in this Edition very 
different from the present Pastorals. 
“A sonnet of Drayton’s prefixed to the 2nd 
Part of Munday’s Primaleon of Greece, B. L, 4to. 
1619.” 
[The stanza in Matilda, celebrating Shak- 
spere’s Luecrece, to which Dr. Farmer alludes, 
is thus quoted by Mr. Collier in his edition of 
Shakspere (viii. p. 411.):— 
“ Lucrece, of whom proud Rome hath boasted long, 
Lately revived to live another age, 
And here arrived to tell of Tarquin’s wrong, 
Her chaste denial, and the tyrant’s rage,
