Manuscript, on paper, in several mid-seventeenth-century cursive hands, containing a collection of poems mainly by sixteenth- and seventeeth-century English and Scottish authors, divided into six "Books of Verse." Thomas Carew is represented by 17 poems; John Donne by 5 poems; Ben Jonson by 3 poems; and John Cleveland by 2 poems. The volume also contains poems by other authors, including Francis Beaumont, Sir Edward Dyer, George Etherege, Thomas Lodge, Walter Raleigh, Philip Sidney, William Strode, Aurelian Townshend, and Edmund Waller.
