Notes:
The quotation on page 5 ("Entiendes, Fabio, lo que . .
.") is presumably
from a Spanish play, now forgotten. The translation reads: "Fabio, do
you
understand what I tell you? / Yes, Thomas, I understand it: — Fabio,
you
lie."
The quotation on page 6 ("What has night to do with
sleep") is from line
22 of John Milton's (1608-1674) morality play, "Comus," written about
1634.
This quotation on page 7 is from line 36 of "A Song of
Sack," collected in The
Works of John Cleveland, 1687. The attribution to John Cleveland
(1613-1658)
is no longer certain, but Poe would have had no reason to doubt it in
1829.
In the original, these quotations are on individual pages, as noted
above.
