1928réf. 001822NY: Covici Friede 1928. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine. Signed limited edition of this quintessential Jazz Age narrative poem by an early New Yorker editor and author of another of the era's signature poems The Wild Party 1926. Written in terse rhyming couplets The Set-Up concerns an aging Black boxer Pansy Jones who is coerced into throwing a fight against a lesser opponent. Double-crossed by his manager Jones revolts and wins the fight only to be chased to his presumed death on the New York subway tracks. March was reportedly inspired to write the poem after a viewing of Negro Boxer a 1927 painting by James Chapin. The Set-Up became a best- seller on publication going through numerous early printings and was later adapted into the 1949 Robert Wise film noir of the same name although Wise chose to eliminate the poem's racial commentary by making the main character white. This limited first edition handsomely illustrated by Alexander King is signed and hand-numbered by March on a limitation page at front. First edition.

réf. 24465May 1781. No. "59" in top corner from album of commonplace book. Entitled "Hope - to the Dutchess of Devonshire" an Ode to her daughter adapted from Mason's "Ode 13" or vice versa - see Note below. Four pages 4to aged but clear and complete fold mark right edge uneven and glue remnant from album of commonplace book presumably. Text begins: "What magic warblings to my Ear" and concludes 39 lines later if I've counted correctly itself in quotation marks "Nor will I quit thee at the grave". Another hand suspiciously resembling Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire's roughest hand has added the words "on reading his Ode to Hope" and adds to the end of the poem "This ode is in the hand writing of Georgiana Daughter of the Rt Honorable Stephen Poyntz married to John first Earl Spencer & mother of Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire". Georgiana Spencer became the Duchess of Devonshire upon marriage in 1774 presumably. See Images very readable. I found one reference to the first line of this Ode "Hope-to the Dutchess of Devonshire" via Googlebooks which recognised the first line "What Magic" in the Beinecke Library's Volume of first lines but now Googlebooks is denying that vision! BUT the Second verse of Mason's Ode XIII runs as follows: "What tender warblings to my ear On Zephyr's borne aspire To draw me from my sapphire sphere Charmed by her magic lyre I come; she wakes the willing strings With careless grace her hand she flings The soft symphonious chords among; Nor ever on the listening plain Since the sweet Lesbian tuned her strain." full text no. of stanzas in "The British Poets including Translations" Vol. LXXVI Mason vol.1 Chiswick 1822 pp.61-64. The earliest publication of this Ode pace Googlebooks seems to be 1811. I have yet to find an earlier publication date begging the question whether Mason wrote/published the version in British Poets before or after the tribute to Georgiana in which she is named. But "Ode XIII" could well be a tribute to her without naming. And perhaps Mason circulated a MS of the Poem before publication long before. May 1781. No. "59" in top corner (from album of commonplace book). unknown
