Editorial note — P O E M S
Reading edition
M*
In Chatterton’s poems many words occur, that were undoubtedly coined by him; as
mole
,
dolce
,
droke
,
glytted
,
aluste
, &c. All these his new editor has inserted in a very curious performance which he is pleased to call a Glossary,
with such interpretations at the context supplied
, without even attempting to support them either by analogy or the authority of our ancient writers.
