[Milton-L] Lycidas Query

[Carl Bellinger]

Dear John Savoie, Thanks for the correction. Are there other published poems 
before Lycidas which is 1637&38?

In any case, the publication of a commendatory verse, even one to Sh & in 
the Folio, would not I think dislodge Lycidas from its self-conscious 
function as this poet's coming-out card.

Carl
