This volume is composite and made of two incomplete volumes.
Lucans First Book starts with the titles page followed by 'The Epistle dedicatorie' to Edward Blunt by Thomas Thorpe. The text then starts and ends with f. Di verso: 'And Marriners, albeit the keele be found' with catchword 'Shipwracke'.
Hero and Leander starts imperfectly with 'And with still panting... (f. [A4]?) and goes to 'FINIS' on f. M4 verso.
Pages are very damaged and crudely repaired.
Annotations: sections have been underlined in ink in Hero and Leander.
