This scarce 1709 edition contains the following four sections: Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, The Passionate Pilgrim, and Some Sonnets set to sundry Notes of Musick. This copy is from the personal library of William Borlase, and contains his crest of arms. Borlase, born 1695 in Cornwall, was a fellow of the Royal Society, a geologist, and author of several historical studies. He corresponded regularly with the English poet Alexander Pope. Borlase assisted Pope in designing and building his famous grotto. William Borlase died in 1772.
