Mixed early printing of the complete three-part poem -- one of the most famous (and most pirated) poems in English literature. The first and second part of Hudibras were first printed in 1663; the third part first appeared in 1678. The three parts were not issued together until 1684. Parts One and Two are paginated continuously (412pp. total), with separate title pages, but only parts 2 & 3 are the second edition of the complete poem. --Wing B 6319
