bibliographical resources cited. The reader is referred to these for further information. If the answer cited is a response to a poem that is itself an answer to another poem then the reader is referred to the initial poem and answer set for details about the exchange including the text cited, first line of the first answer and so forth (as in Anon 9). Where needed, additional information about the second answer (counter-response) is given within its own citation. Where the same author is responsible for more than one answer to a single verse these are given together in the same citation as Answer a, Answer b and so forth (as in A 60a-d). Similarly, where a poem answers more than one other poem these are given together as Antecedent a, Antecedent b and so forth (as in Anon 22). Two line epigrams are given in full.
All seen texts are given abbreviated titles (usually the name of the author or editor of the work) and cross-referenced with the bibliography. Abbreviated titles are also given for catalogues and indices of verse and manuscript citations (see Abbreviations, pp.3-4 and Manuscript Abbreviations, overleaf). Unseen printed sources are given their full titles in the relevant fields or, in the case of STC entries, they are given their STC reference number and Early English Books reference number.
