ABSTRACT

The 1635 edition of Donne's poems was again 'Printed by M.F. for John Marriot' and edited anonymously. This unknown editor didn't just follow his predecessor but added about a dozen poems by Donne (as well as a number of spurious ones), and gave three fresh elegies on the author. It is in this edition that the poems first appear in their familiar groups under such headings as Songs and Sonets, Epicedes and Obsequies, Divine Poems. Here, too, some poems are given the titles by which we know them.
