Copy at 86.V.7 is as follows and in the following order:
Title-page 1611
First books (v.1-3) on B3 has Young Knight
Second part (bks 4-6) dated 1613

Mother Hubbard's tale 1613
Colin Clouts come home againe t.p. immediatelyfollowed by the
dedication to Sir Walter Raleigh, on which there is no date and no
identifying factor. [I conjecture that this is the first printing of the Letter to Raleigh, since this copy seems to fall in Johnson's Group III--NS 6/8/10]. This is followed by poems, all of which have
dropped head titles and no t.p.s or dates. Followed by:
Prothalamion 1611
Amoretti and Epithalamion 1611
Epithalamion 1611
Foure Hymnes 1611
Daphnaida 1611
Complaints 1611
