- Bedlam in Poems on Several Occasions, the Second Edition, 1736, London: printed by J. Watts (Dedication signed Thomas Fitzgerald); bedlamite (p. 11); gain (p.11). [BKG Note: the Preface indicates that the poems were previously published in other collections; the first edition of this title was 1733. The 1755 Dict. bedlamite quote is apparently from Bedlam in Miscellaneous poems, by several hands. Published by D. Lewis, 1726, London: printed by J. Watts. Three lines are quoted in the 1755 Dict., attributed to Lewis's Miscel., four lines are quoted in the 1773 Dict., attributed to Fitzgerald. SJ maintains the wording of the Lewis publication (boast'st vs vaunt'st) in the 1773 Dict. SJ adds a previous Bedlam line for gain in the 1773 Dict.]
