- Io. Gower de confessione de Amantis, 1554, Imprinted at London: In Fletestrete by Thomas Berthelette, the XII. daie of Marche. An. M.D.LIIII. cum privilegio. Watkins in Johnson and English Poetry before 1660, notes, that the Gower quotation in the "Introduction" of the Dict. is identical in wording to the 1554 Amantis edition (the 1554 edition is also in the Johnson Library Sale Catalogue, 1785, item 583 2.; per Greene the first edition of Amantis was printed by Caxton, 1483). See Yale Vol. 18, pp. 181-182 for the text of the Gower quotation.
