Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |year=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1631 version, specify |year=1631. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1627).
  • |chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Parameter value Result
Dedication [Dedication]
Jonson The Vision of Ben. Iohnson, on the Muses of His Friend M. Draiton (by Ben Jonson)
Reynolds To My Worthy Friend Mr. Michael Drayton upon His Poems (by John Reynolds)
Vaughan Upon the Battaile of Agincourt, Written by His Deare Friend Michael Drayton Esquire (by John Vaughan)
As the above chapters are not paginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books or the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=JkrpwMV8ytEC&pg=PP9 specify |page=9, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_the-battaile-of-agincour_drayton-michael_1627/page/n4/mode/1up specify |page=4. (In the 1st edition, although the dedication and dedicatory poem by Vaughan are unpaginated, the template can determine the URL.)
  • |elegy= – if quoting from one of the elegies, the name of the elegy.
  • |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |1= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
You must specify this information to have the template determine the poem quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

In the 1st edition, page 101 is misprinted as 100; specify it as |page=101.

  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
