  In a book of this kind, it can be hard to tell when something is a misprint or misspelling, and for the most part this e-text errs on the side of caution and preserves the original printing with all its inconsistencies. Only the following probable errors have been corrected. We do not have the Supplement containing the songs the editor thought too immodest to include. Page 4, duplicate word “him” removed (Oh do not censure him for this) Page 14, duplicate word “am” removed (And all shall say when I am dead) Page 40, stanza number “3.” added Page 46, “Aed” changed to “And” (And took her up with speed) Page 79, “tewelfth” changed to “twelfth” (On the twelfth day all in the morn) Page 101, “keeep” changed to “keep” (I keep my horse) Page 102, “Gysie” changed to “Gypsie” (No Gypsie nor no Blackamore) Page 108, “befitingly” changed to “befittingly” (befittingly in his notes and comments) Page 125, “and” changed to “an” (With an old Lady whose anger) Page 168, “stifly” changed to “stiffly” (dancing somewhat stiffly) Page 189, the original page number [p. 121] has been added in what seems closest to the correct place. Pages 240 and 243, reference to “p. 213” changed to “p. 230”, where the matter referenced will actually be found; it is the paragraph starting “[A song follows, beginning” Page 241, “domine” changed to “Domine” in second verse (Libera nos Domine) Page 244, duplicate word “as” removed (As big as Estriges) Page 284, “8th.” changed to “9th.” (Verse 9th. Gondomar was) Page 330, “encouragment” changed to “encouragement” (encouragement is given to gambling) Page 360, “Collectiom” changed to “Collection” (In Pepy’s Collection, vol. i.)
