Elegies
.
Of the
Elegies,
the canon is more difficult to ascertain exactly. Some of the most audacious, but not least characteristic, were excluded by the first editor, but crept into subsequent issues. Of the twenty given in Chamberss edition, all are Donnes, with the possible exception of the twelfth, Come, Fates, I fear you not; and to these should be added that entitled
Loves War,
in the appendix, which was first printed by Sir John Simeon. But the sixteenth, To make the doubt clear that no womans true, was included in Ben Jonsons posthumous
Underwoods,
and it is not impossible that the three which there accompany it are also Donnes. As Swinburne has pointed out, they are more in his style than in that of Jonson. On the other hand, no MS. collection of Donnes poems includes them, whereas their companion appears in more than one.
