      The case for Marvell's authorship supported in George deF. Lord, Two New Poems by Marvell?, BNYPL, 62 (1958), 551-70, but see also discussion by Lord and Ephim Fogel in Vol. 63 (1959), 223-36, 292-308, 355-66. Marvell's authorship supported in Annabel Patterson, The Second and Third Advices-to-the-Painter, PBSA, 71 (1977), 473-86. Discussed also in Margoliouth, I, 348-50, and in Chernaik, p. 211, where Marvell's authorship is considered doubtful. A case for Sir John Denham's authorship is made in Brendan O Hehir, Harmony from Discords: A Life of Sir John Denham (Berkeley & Los Angeles, 1968), pp. 212-28.

    • RaW 131 ff. 9v-10r

      Copy of a four-stanza version, untitled.

      First published, in a musical setting, in William Byrd, Psalmes, Sonets & songs (London, 1588). Latham, pp. 7-8. Rudick, Nos 10A (complementing Sir Thomas Heneage's verses beginning Most welcome love, thow mortall foe to lies) and 10B, pp. 11-13.

      The poem based principally on a poem by Philippe Desportes: see Jonathan Gibson, French and Italian Sources for Ralegh's Farewell False Love, RES, NS 50 (May 1999), 155-65, which also cites related MSS.

  • NLW MS 550 B

    An account apparently by Herbert of negotiations concerning the English liturgy at St Germain-en-Laye.

    Early-mid 17th century.

  • NLW MS 775 B

    A small octavo-size volume of autograph poems by Katherine Philips, written from both ends, originally on rectos only, 222 pages (including blanks, plus stubs of extracted leaves, some probably extracted by the poet herself to remove spoiled pages, some extracted after the poems were entered), in contemporary calf with blind-stamped initials K.P.

    Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

    Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

    c. late 1650s.

    Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

    Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

    This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

  • NLW MS 776 B

    A quarto volume of 96 poems (dating as late as July 1663) and two dramatic works by Katherine Philips, in a generally neat italic hand except for another hand on pp. 358-9, 404 pages (slightly misnumbered and including a number of blanks), in contemporary black leather blind-stamped.

    With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polexr: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

    The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

    c.1664.

    Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

    Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polexr: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polexr:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

    Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.
