Copy of John Donne's Satyres I and II, 1590s [manuscript], ca. 1627-1632

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/416526795

Part I contains: John Donne's first two Satyres, originally written in the 1590s, was among the first of his poems to circulate in manuscript. This manuscript copy was most likely made after Donne's death in 1631 and before the first edition of Donne's Poems (London, 1633, STC (2nd ed.), 7045). Also includes a list of 30 poems "lent to Mr. Murhouse" dated 7 December 1632. Part II (reverse text at end of Part I) contains: five legal precepts, "The forme of an Order for a Basterd Child," "A precept for one that refuseth to p[er]forme an order for a Bastard Child," "A precept for one that is gone away with Child and it is doubted that shee hath murdered the child," and two concerning robbery.
