Wing S3481; Grolier, Wither to Prior 800; Hayward 85; Pforzheimer 933. The first collected edition of Shirley's poems. James Shirley (1596-1666) was effectively the last of the great pre-Civil War dramatists, whose work bridges the transition from the old Jacobean tradition to the new Restoration mode. His comedies in particular remained popular on the Restoration stage. In the early 1640s he assembled a collection of poems written earlier, which now survives in a manuscript in the Bodleian Library, and he brought out a printed collection of them in 1646. Shirley's career ended when he and his wife both perished as a result of the effects of the Great Fire of London. This present copy of the Poems is the first issue with sheets A and E in uncorrected form. John Brett-Smith noted that the other known copies in this state are the Dyce copy (in the Victoria and Albert Museum) and that in the library of Worcester College, Oxford. (1)

William Blake painted a miniature in tempera of his vision of the ghost of a flea (1819-20, Tate, London). John Varley records how Blake came to depict the strange apparition (pp.54/55): 'This spirit visited his imagination in such a figure as he never anticipated in an insect. As I was anxious to make the most correct investigation in my power, of the truth of these visions, on hearing of this spiritual apparition of a Flea, I asked him if he could draw for me the resemblance of what he saw: he instantly said, "I see him now before me." I therefore gave him paper and a pencil, with which he drew the portrait... I felt convinced by his mode of proceeding, that he had a real image before him, for he left off, and began on another part of the paper, to make a separate drawing of the mouth of the Flea, which the spirit having opened, he was prevented from proceeding with the first sketch, till he had closed it. During the time occupied in completing the drawing, the Flea told him that all fleas were inhabited by the souls of such men, as were by nature blood-thirsty to excess...' (1)

Malvezzi (Virgilio). Il Davide Perseguitato David Persecuted..., done into English by Robert Ashley, printed for Humphrey Mosely, 1647, engraved portrait frontispiece by W. Marshall, title within ornamental woodcut border, small stain to foremargin of early leaves, contemporary ownership name inscriptions of Mary, Bridgett and Mary Jocelyn to frontispiece recto and neatly written manuscript poem to final blank verso, recent marbled boards with printed paper label to spine, 12mo Wing M357. The apparently original and contemporary manuscript poem, no doubt written by a Royalist sympathiser shortly after the execution of King Charles I in 1649 consists of two quatrains. Indeed, the royalist publisher, Humphrey Moseley had secretly commissioned a portrait of David with the face of King Charles I for this second edition of a translation that had no political commentary on its first appearance a decade earlier. 'O England England / take heed of fatall blowes / ffor what is still to come / as yett ther's noe man knowes / Smite not thy brest / but be thou ready armed / with faithfull love / thou never shall be harmed'.
