1 The evidence is summarized in A Spenser Handbook by H. S. V. Jones (1930), Chap. xx. The chief articles on the subject are as follows: “The Cantos of Mutabilitie. Further Considerations Bearing on the Date ” by Frederick M. Padelford, PMLA, xlv (1930), 704 ff.; “The Date of Spenser's Cantos of Mutability,” by Douglas Bush, Ibid., pp. 954–957; “On the Dating of Spenser's ‘Mutability’ Cantos” by E. M. Albright, SP, xxvi (1929), 482 ff.

3 I exclude the two stanzas of Mutabilitie canto viii because this fraction of acanto is too small to work with satisfactorily.
