STRUCTURE
<FRONT> contains only the title page.

poems, each of which occupies a <DIV1 TYPE="poem">
<DIV1>s each contain one of the numbered poems, subdivided
mostly by <LG>s.
The short paragraph at the beginning of poem XXV.
("Here begynneth ...") should be recorded simply
as a paragraph (<P>), followed by the numbered
<LG>s.
<DIV2>s are used in poem XXIV ("The ten lessons
of the Dirige") to record the individual
"lessons":
1. <HEAD>Lectio prima: Parce mihi domine.</HEAD>
pp. 107-108.
2. <HEAD>Lectio secunda: Tedet animam meam.</HEAD>
pp. 108-109.
3. <HEAD>Letio tertia: Manus tue fecerunt me.</HEAD>
pp. 109-111.
4. <HEAD>Lectio quarta: Quantas habeo.</HEAD>
pp. 111-112.
5. <HEAD>Lectio quinta: Homo natus.</HEAD>
pp. 113-114.

pp.118-120.
<LG>s are used for all the numbered stanzas.
The bits of Latin prose at the beginning of each stanza in
poem XXV ("Pety Job") should be treated as <HEAD>s to
the individual stanzas.
MILESTONES
Folio references appear in small type in brackets
in the margins, sometimes keyed to the text by a
reference number, sometimes not. Insert
<MILESTONE> elements into the text as usual.
Examples:
[1 leaf 114] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="114a">
[leaf 114, bk.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="114b">
[1 leaf 115] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="115a">
[2 lf.115, bk.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="115b">
[leaf 116] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="116a">
[1 lf.116, bk.] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="116b">
[2 leaf 117] = <MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="117a">
NOTES
The usual mixture of notes: many bracketed notes attached
to the headings of poems and stanzas; a few footnotes with
footnote numbers (<NOTE PLACE="foot">); and a few marginal
notes, some of them editorial (these are equipped with
reference numbers keyed to the text), and some of them
scribal (which are simply placed opposite the relevant line).
Treat all of these as usual.
