- The works of Mr. John Cleveland containing his poems, orations, epistles, collected into one volume, with the life of the author, 1687, London, Printed by R. Holt for Obadiah Blagrave at the Bear and Star over against the little North Door in St. Paul's Church-Yard: [BKG Note: this edition or the 1699 edition was likely consulted by SJ for at least the 1773 Dict. as they appear to be the only editions to contain the "Verses on Cleaveland" quoted under amphibology. The 1677 edition of Cleveland's poems (below) or other edition may have been consulted by SJ for the 1755 Dict. The verses under drone, added in the 1773 Dict., were located in the 1659, 1677, 1687 and 1699 editions. However, I was not able to find the quote for unsuccessful in the Poems title below.]
- The Antiplatonick (in the title above); wire [BKG Note: may be incorrectly attributed to Beaumont and Fletcher in the 1755 and 1773 Dict., however, The Antiplatonick also appears in the Beaumont title: Poems: by Francis Beaumont, Gent.: Viz. The hermaphrodite. The remedy of love. Elegies. Sonnets, with other poems. 1653, London: Printed for Laurence Blaiklock, and are to be sold at his shop neare the middle Temple Gate in Fleet-street.]
