The Sonnet-Series
By John Erskine
The text is Chapter V of Erskine's book The Elizabethan Lyric, copyright
1903 by the Macmillan Company, reprinted in 1916 by Columbia University Press,
New York--volume II of Columbia University's Studies in English. I've
left the footnotes in and am still working on links to materials in Sonnet
Central and elsewhere. Clicking on raised footnote citation numbers
will take you to the note, and clicking on the footnote number will take
you back to the text.
