Rossetti MS.
The poetical pieces forming part of the MS. Book, but
not printed in this section of my edition, are part of the
Songs of Experience, the variant readings of which are
suppUed in the footnotes to that work — 'Three virgins at the
break of day,' which I print in the poems from the Pickering
MS. with the readings of the MS. Book version, and the two
quatrains 'Each man is in his spectre's power' and 'I give
you the end of a golden string,' afterwards engraved as
part of Jerusalem and here printed among poems from the
Prophetic Books.
