What is The Poems of Sir Francis Hubert about?

The text of Edward the Second is that of the author's own edition of 1629; of Egypts Favorite it is that of the posthumous edition of 1631, the sole extant version. Descriptions of extant manuscript and printed versions of Edward the Second are given in the Commentary, on  pages 280-2. I have emendated or supplied the punctuation where in the original the meaning is otherwise obscure or the flow of the verse hindered. Abbreviations are given their full forms: Ks (Kings), Pr: (Prince), wch (which), wth (with), ye (the), qd. (quoth), upo (upon), who (whom), the (then or them), & (and), and so on. Capital letters I have retained; but modernized the use of both upper and  lower-case u and v, i and j . Misprints and misnumbered stanzas are corrected. For the few instances where in Edward the Second I have preferred a reading from another version or where I have supplied one myself, the reasons are adduced in the notes. Variant readings from other versions of Edward the Second I have given in the notes only if they seem of particular significance, or if they are massive. The sententice or exempla of the early' rhetoricians, first culled by English monks from the Greek and Roman writers
