Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Poems of Sir Philip Sidney, Vol. 2 of 2: For the First Time Collected and Collated With the Original and Early Editions and Mss.; I. From the Countesse of Pembroke's Arcadia, II. Forty-Three Psalms of David, III. Glossarial Index For reasons stated in the Preface (vol. The text followed in the Poems from Arcadia' is that of 1613 but throughout I have had before me those of 1590, 1593, 1598, 1605, 1627, 1655, and later. In Notes and Illustrations at close of the poems in this division such few various readings as seemed noticeable are recorded. No. Xxix., which appeared in the 1590 edition of Arcadia, was suppressed in all after-editions. No. Lxviii which Mr. Collier, in his Poetical Decameron' (s. Quotes from Haring ton's Orlando Furioso as 'omitted in the folio Arcadias, ' occurs in the edition of 1598 and subsequently. No. X1. Is placed among the 'certaine Sonets, ' &c., as well as in the Arcadia itself, in 1605 and other editions. As explained in the places, the two closing pieces of the series are derived from other sources - the last never before printed. We give these Poems in the order of their occurrence in the Arcadia, and as in Astrophel and Stella, and throughout, have furnished headings to those that have none in the original, fetched from the prose context. The Arcadia Poems lose almost nothing by being separated from the prose, albeit the student-reader will occasionally perhaps wish to consult it.
