*The Passionate Pilgrim* was not published again during the seventeenth century. In 1709 it was reprinted from the first edition of 1599 by Bernard Lintott in his ‘A Collection of Poems, viz. I. Venus and Adonis; II. The Rape of Lucrece; III. The Passionate Pilgrim; IV. Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Musick by Mr. William Shakespeare’. In this volume *The Passionate Pilgrim* and the ‘Sonnets to Lintott’s reprint of 1709. ¹ The three opening sonnets of Jaggard’s miscellany, which appear in the 1640 volume in Jaggard’s order and in Jaggard’s text, are preceded by thirty-one of Shakespeare’s sonnets of 1609. The first is headed ‘False beleafe’, the second ‘A Temptation’, and the third ‘Fast and loose’. After three more of the sonnets of 1609, there come poems 4 and 5 of *The Passionate Pilgrim*, headed respectively ‘A sweet provocation’ and ‘A constant vow’. These are separated by four more sonnets from Jaggard’s poems 6 and 7, which are headed respectively ‘Cruell Deceit’ and ‘The unconstant Lover’. Three more sonnets introduce consecutively Jaggard’s Nos. 8 and 9, called respectively ‘Friendly concord’ and ‘Inhumanitie’. After a set of five sonnets come from *The Passionate Pilgrim* Nos. 11, ‘Foolish disdaine’; 12, ‘Ancient Antipathy’; and 13, ‘Beauties valuation’. Two sonnets intervene before No. 10 of Jaggard’s series is reached under the title of ‘Love’s Loose’. Another five sonnets of 1609 appear before Jaggard’s No. 14, ‘Loath to depart’, and yet nine sonnets more before his Nos. 15, ‘A Duel’; 16, ‘Lovesicke’; 17, ‘Love’s labour’s lost’; and 18, ‘Wholesome counsell’. Seventeen sonnets of 1609 cut these off from No. 20, ‘As it fell upon a day,’ which is called ‘Sympathizing love’. The remaining poem, No. 19, of Jaggard’s volume (Marlowe’s lyric) is separated altogether from its companions by the insertion of sixty-four sonnets; of *The Tale of Cephalus and Procris*; of two more of Shakespeare’s sonnets; of five poems by another hand; of *A Lover’s Complaint*, and of Heywood’s two ‘Epistles’. Jaggard’s poem, No. 19, is then printed under the title of ‘The Passionate Shepheard to his love’, as in *England’s Helicon*; the text follows that anthology and fills twenty-four lines; the reply follows also in the amplified text of *England’s Helicon*, and is succeeded by a poem in imitation of Marlowe from the same source. The remaining twenty-two poems of the volume of 1640 have no concern with *The Passionate Pilgrim*. G <!-- [Page 339](arke:01KG6QFYPQCBEFJNK41EPQKA1Z) --> 50 THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM Sundry Notes³ were each introduced by a separate title-page, of which the imprint ran: ‘London, Printed in the year 1599.’ In the preliminary ‘Advertisement’ Lintott wrote: ‘The Remains of Mr. William Shakespeare call’d *The Passionate Pilgrime* &amp; Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Musick (at the end of this collection) came into my hands in a little stitch’d Book, printed at *London* for *W. Jaggard* in the year 1599.’ Lintott’s ‘Collection’ was reissued next year, with the addition of a second volume supplying a reprint of the original 1609 edition of Shakespeare’s *Sonnets* and *A Lover’s Complaint*. The new title-page was curiously inaccurate as to the date of the first edition of Shakespeare’s narrative poems and of *The Passionate Pilgrim*. The words ran: ‘A Collection of Poems in Two Volumes: being all The miscellanies of Mr. William Shakespeare, which were Publish’d by himself in the year 1609, and now correctly Printed from these Editions.’ There were at least two impressions of this ‘Collection in Two Volumes’. In one of these impressions *The Passionate Pilgrim* and ‘Sonnets to Sundry Notes’ bore the correct date of 1599. In another impression, the title-pages were reprinted with the date changed to 1609. There is no ground for assuming that Lintott knew of an edition, belonging to that year, of *The Passionate Pilgrim*, or of the appended ‘Sonnets to Sundry Notes’. The date was invented to agree with that of the first edition of the *Sonnets*. Gildon’s reprint of 1710.
