The series is dedicated to Charles Tomlinson for his earlier help. . . . Prynne's poems are "First Notes on Daylight", "Acquisition of Love", "Quality in that Case as Pressure", and, "Senor Vazquez speakng and further soft Music to Eaty by". All of these titles had their first printing in The English Intelligencer the previous year, their appearance in Resuscitator being their second public outing. . .
