These songs are printed thus in an Appendix at the end of the play in Q., G., and the edition of Hartley Coleridge. The First Song is inserted at its proper point in the text—II, i, after line 134—by C., M., Cunningham, and S.;—so, too, the Second Song, after line 131 of II, ii. The other two songs were omitted in C., and appear in an appendix of vol.4 of M.,—there wrongly assigned (by D.) to the “passage over the stage” which closes Act II. Gifford correctly assigns them to follow respectively IV, ii, 50; and IV, ii, 62;—where they are printed in the text of Cunningham and S.
