Bowles title-page

A pause, and reminder. I'm not reading the original Fourteen Sonnets version of Bowles's collection, because that's not the edition Coleridge read. He read the expanded and revised second edition, also from 1789, also published in Bath. Here's the bottom-half of that edition's title page:

The Latin ('Cantantes, licet usque, minus via laedet eamus') is from Vergil [Aeneid 9:64]. It means: 'Let us sing as we travel along: the road will be less tedious.'
