| Copynotes: | "On the fly leaf in pencil is 'Spenser's works half Bd', and on the verso of the back fly leaf, upside down, are two scribbled ink phrases, which I cannot read, but which look like attempts, first incorrect then correct, to quote the first line of Vergil's first Eclogue 'Tityre tu patulae recubans sub tegmine fagi'."
