The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw

CONTENTS.

1

As neither Crashaw nor his early Editors furnished Contents to the Epi.

grammata et Poemata, we are left free to decide thereon; and inasmuch

as (a) our translations are intended to make Vol. II, as generally ac-

cessible and understood as Vol. I., and as (6) very few of those here first

printed have headings, or the Scripture-texts only–we have deemed it

expedient to give as Contents the subjects in English. The Scholar-student

will find the Latin headings of the Author in their places. In the right-

hand margin the initials of the respective Translators are given; on

which see pp. 4-5, and Notes to the successive divisions. (*) on left-hand

margin indicates there is a Greek version also : [+] printed for first time :

(1) translated for first time. G.
