Ex Libris: Annotating Books from the William A. Clark Memorial Library

Underlining in red pencil


Red pencil underlining gives identity and recognition to poetic excerpts:

Joyne thy life-breathing lips to mine, Thy love exceeds the joy of Wine, Thy Odours, O how redolent! Attract me with their pleafing cent.


Another red underlined excerpt reads:

They Beauty, love, allures mt fight and heds a firnament of light. In either eye there a fit a Dove So mild, to full arteffe love.


This could give implications of romantic poetic lyrics to either a song of expression or an actual poem.
