THE TOURNAMENT. p. 28

This Poem is printed from a copy made by Mr. Catcott, from one in
Chatterton's hand-writing.

_Songe to Ælla_.

The title in the vellum MS. was simply "_Songe toe Ælle_," with a
small mark of reference to a note below, containing the following
words--"_Lorde of the castelle of Brystowe ynne daies of yore_."
It may be proper also to take notice, that the whole song was there
written like prose, without any breaks, or divisions into verses.

ver. 6. for _brastynge_, r. _burslynge_.
11. for _valyante_, r. _burlie_.
23. for _dysmall_, r. _honore_.

_Lydgate's answer_.

No title in the vellum MS.

ver. 3. for _varses_, r. _pene_.
antep. for _Lendes_, r. _Sendes_.
ult. for _lyne_, r. _thynge_.

Mr. Barrett had also a copy of these Poems by Chatterton, which
differed from that, which Chatterton afterwards produced as the
original, in the following particulars, among others.
