Notes
Note 1 in page 1033 “Milton's ‘Destin'd Urn’: The Art of Lycidas,” PMLA, 84 (1969), 60–70.
Note 2 in page 1033 Puttenham's word for rhymes used to link stanzas or other verse units together, cited by Catherine Ing, Elizabethan Lyrics (New York: Barnes & Noble, 1951), p. 47.
Note 3 in page 1033 These are the distances between the nearest rhymes, in each case looking backward toward an earlier rhyme. Therefore, the increasing frequency of long gaps toward the end of the sequence is somewhat misleading. Each of these long-distance rhymes has a counterpart somewhere nearer the beginning, which looks ahead.
Note 4 in page 1033 Signifying each couplet by its second line, for convenience, the rhymes are distributed as follows: =owers, 34, 124; =ame, 60, 106; =ace, 80, 142; =ide, 82, 128; = ear, 86, 130; =all, 96, 104; =ue, 4, 94, 118; =ed, 22, 52, 120; =ive, 40, 56, 102; = ow, 24, 36, 78, 90; =ay, 14, 26, 62, 92; =air, 46, 50, 66, 108, 112, 146.
