In left-to-right order, each item listed below is identified by (a) its Donne Variorum short form (noncan = noncanonical), (b) a siglum-plus-ordinal-position item tag, (c) its location in the artifact (by folio or page nos.), and (d) diplomatic transcriptions of its heading (HE) and first line. %X = element centered on the page.

Additional information: The original foliation, visible at the top left of most rectos, skips f. 56. A revised foliation rectifying this error has since been added and is reflected in the list below and in the folio citations in the textual apparatus of edited poems.
