Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Roxburghe quarter morocco, top edge gilt. Stephen Keynes's copy, his name printed in red in the roll of members. Presented by Mrs Nixon in her husband's memory ("It had been my husband's intention, since quite soon after his appointment as Librarian of Westminster Abbey, to print a new edition of this unique propaganda poem, The Gardyners Passetaunce, which is preserved in the Library, as his contribution to the Roxburghe Club. Unfortunately, pressure of other commitments meant that his book was not ready for the press before his untimely death on 18 February 1983"). "In a gardeyn booth goodly and pleasaunt, / Walkynge aloone devysyng on the flourys / Whiche were right fayre, delycious and fragraunt, / Moste delicatly redolent after the swete shourys /, The red Rose chase I and toke in amours . . .".
