Excerpt from Milton's Arcades and Comus: With Introduction, Notes and Indexes

HE text of the poems included in this volume is substantially that of Professor Masson's Globe edition of Milton's Poetical Works, 1877. I have to thank Messrs Macmillan and Co. For their courtesy in allowing me to use this text. In common with all recent editors of Milton I am under great obligations to Professor Masson. School-editions of Camus and Arcade: I have avoided using. As some attention is paid in the notes to points of etymology, I may say that the authors from whom most of the information has been taken are Professor Skeat, Professor Earle, Dr Morris, and, for French words, Brachet. The New Englz's/z Dz'dz'onafy, too, has been consulted often. I have endeavoured to reproduce with correctness the views of the writers mentioned; and it need scarcely be added that responsibility for any errors that may be noticed rests with me.
