DONNE, John (1573-1631). Poems by J. D. with elegies on the authors death. London: M[iles] F[letcher] for John Marriot, 1633. 4o (176 x 128 mm). Two woodcut opening initials. With final blank. (Lacking the initial blank, some worming at end, affecting a few letters.)
[Bound with:]
Juvenilia or Certaine paradoxes and problemes written by J. Donne. London: E[lisabeth] P[urslowe] for Henry Seyle, 1633. 4o. Woodcut title device, decorative headbands and initials. With initial blank. (Some worming and worm tracks affecting letters.) Contemporary calf (discreet restoration to spine). Provenance: Howard Pearse (bookplate); Robertson Glasgow (bookplate).
FIRST COLLECTED EDITION OF DONNE'S POEMS AND FIRST EDITION OF THE JUVENILIA. With the exception of the Anniversaries (1611, 1612), the "Elegie on the untimely death of the incomparable Prince, Henry" (included by Sylvester in Lachrymae Lachrymarum, 3rd edition, 1613), and some lines prefixed to Coryats Crudities, none of Donne's poems were published before his death. Keynes notes that "Sometimes the two leaves ... are omitted altogether. It seems probable that they were an afterthought and were inserted in only a portion of the edition." The Poems are not infrequently found bound with the Juvenilia, as in this copy. Keynes describes the Juvenilia as "clever and entertaining trifles, most of which were probably written before 1600 during the more wanton period of their author's life." Grolier Wither to Prior 286 and 284; Keynes Donne 78 and 43; Pforzheimer 296; STC 7045 and 7043.
