Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indexes to the First Lines and to the Subjects of the Poems of Robert Herrick First Lines was in proof and the whole of that labor was lost in the fire with, also, much of the manuscript of the Index of Subjects. The work had practically to be recommenced, and when it is remembered that the time that can be bestowed on such work as this is very limited, it is hoped that the delay which has been so unavoidably incurred will be excused. It is not out of place to notice that a table of first lines alone would not make a complete work, because some of the Poet's couplets are incomplete without their titles. Instances are numerous, but it may suffice to call attention to two in Vol. II (at pages 248 and 271) entitled respectively Good Christians and The Virgin Mary, where the titles and the couplets must be read together to be intelligible. The following Indexes are made for use with the two-volume edition of Herrick's poems published by Messrs. Little, Brown Company in 1856, and forming volumes 51 and 52 of their useful edition of the British Poets.
