Note 213 — Chapter XXIV

Reading edition

The lines,

Who like Don Quixote do advance Against a windmill our vaine lance,

occur in a copy of verses To the Mutable Faire included among The Poems of Francis Beaumont in the edition of 1640. But the volume includes numerous poems not written by Beaumont, and is one of the most uncritical collections that ever was printed. This poem is by Waller.
