Referring to Donne’s Works
When citing Donne’s works, I make clear in footnotes or by context which manuscript or printed text I am using. As a general rule, I follow the policy of Handbook, using Variorum texts published to date, citing the Satyres and verse epistles from Milgate’s edition (1967), and remaining poems from Poems (1633).
Short forms of reference for manuscripts and poems referred to frequently in this book follow (a full list can be found in any Variorum volume).

Poems
Many of Donne’s poems have unwieldy titles, few of which are known to be authorial and many of which require further qualification—for example, the five poems entitled ‘To Mr. R. W.’. I understand that the use of the following short forms to refer to these poems runs the risk of making these artistic expressions feel like units of computer code. However, I have found that it helps aid clarity and concision in arguments which often deal with complicated matters, offering a neat single word to represent each individual poem, rather than, sometimes, 16 or 17 words surrounded by inverted commas, parentheses, and qualificatory quotations.
