Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.

It is not always obvious if verses in the original have been split
through pagination; if there is doubt the split has been retained.

'Ode for a Social Meeting' has some words struck out and replaced
above with alternatives. This has been represented with the
struck-out words underlined in red and the alternate words in boxes
above. The font has been switched to monospaced to accurately align
the two.

Both "Geoffrey" and "Goeffrey" are used as spellings for Geoffrey
Chaucer's name without obvious reason. The spelling has been
standardised here to the more commonly accepted (today) version
"Geoffrey".

The title of "Spirk, Troll-Derisive" uses both "Troll" and "Throll"
throughout the original text. The spelling has been standardised
here to "Troll".

"There is no poem in the original beginning 'Oh! Weary mother' and
it appears to have been an error. The page reference, '000,' is
from the original."
