The Earl of Devonshire died on 3rd April, 1606, and this 'Fvneral! Poeme, ' which appeared originally as a thin quarto, having a title-page printed in white letters on a black ground, may be dated in the same year, though without date anywhere. The title-page thus runs: -- A Fvnerall Poeme Vpon the Death of the late noble Earle of Deuonshire. (11 leaves?) An exemplar is in the British Museum. It is found in all the collective editions after 1606. A collation of the quarto of 1623 with this original edition--never before done--abundantly rewards us. At the bottom of the pages lines and whole passages left out by the Author on revision are recorded, and some re-introduced into the text. Passages in the quarto of 1623 not in the original edition are also noted. The 1607 edition supplies in margin an important name. See Memorial-Introduction on this nobleman, and for an original and unpublished letter from Daniel to him. A. B. G. A FVNERALL P O E M E . Vpon the Death os the late noble Ear/e of Deuonjhire.
