FAREWELL TO ARMS


George Peele's four fine stanzas (which must be mentioned as
dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, but are better without that
dedication) exist in another form, in the first person, and with
some archaisms smoothed. But the third person seems to be far more
touching, the old man himself having done with verse.


THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD


The sixth stanza is perhaps by Izaak Walton.


TAKE, O TAKE THOSE LIPS AWAY


The author of this exquisite song is by no means certain. The
second stanza is not with the first in Shakespeare, but it is in
Beaumont and Fletcher.
