Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of primarily lighthearted poems by various authors, many on amorous subjects. Many of them appear to have been written by Cobbe's contemporaries at Oxford, including one, titled A fatal marriage, annotated with the names of the actual persons represented by the characters; and To the pye-house memory of Moll Batchelor, late a pye-woman in Oxford, by Herbert Beaver of Corpus Christi College. Other titles include Presenting a goldfinch to Sylvia; On Stella; Toasted cheese; and several riddles and epitaphs. The collection also includes a poem to Henry Fox by Charles Hanbury Williams.
