ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THE VERBAL INDEX. [THE following Index is applicable to any edition of Milton's Poetical Works.* When I say it is an "Index to all the poems," I do not mean to say that it is an Index to all the words in those poems. There are many words which it would be absurd to notice in an Index: for instance, the articles; most of the pronouns, such as thee, whom, his, &c.; all the conjunctions; many adverbs; most of the prepositions; and such adjectives and adjective-pronouns as present no striking idea, as all, both, each, &c. But every one who wishes to find any passage in Milton, will be able to recall some noun, adjective, verb, or participle of a distinctive character; and ALL SUCH will be found in this Index. Indeed, I can safely say that I believe there is not a line in all the poems which may not be found by some one word in it, while a great number of the lines may be found by EVERY WORD in them.-ED.] *In those editions, however, which retain the five Italian Sonnets, five must be added after Sonnet i. For instance, what is here Sonnet v. or xvi., will be x. or xxi. in those editions. 534 VERBAL INDEX. AARON, P. L. xii. 170. Aaron's, P. L. iii. 598; P. R. iii. 15. abandon'd, P.
