One or two irregularities of rhyming may be noticed, but whether they were<br \/>\npurposely meant to be like that or kept only provisionally, it is not possible<br \/>\nto say. In several cases, where&nbsp; it seemed necessary, earlier versions&nbsp;<br \/>\nhave been drawn upon for textual collation and the fixing of dates. Where two<br \/>\ndates are given for the same poem, the earlier refers to the date of composition&nbsp;<br \/>\nand the other to that of revision. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"text-indent: 25px;line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">The poems are arranged in chronological order and<br \/>\ntheir facsimile reproductions given on parallel pages.
