The Donne Variorum
Donne Variorum First-Line Cross-Reference
Compiled 1-29-99 & revised 10-4-05 by J. Syd Conner
An informal tool for DV editors, et al., that cross-references first lines with DV short forms and work sigla (poem identification numbers used in DV transcriptions, derived from Shawcross's edition [DV siglum Z] except for those [195-202] not printed in Z). Items lacking poem numbers are marked dub for dubium or nc for noncanonical (the nc poems listed below are historically related to the parenthetically referenced Donne poems). The several non-first lines listed have some history of being mistaken for first lines. The right-most column locates the poems in Z by page number.
The underlining serves only as a visual aid for following entries across the page.
