Notes:
"A versification of Aphra Behn's novel with this title, ... the lovers were Forde Grey (later Earl of Tankerville) and Lady Berkeley." (Foxon).
'Letters from a nun' is by Joseph de Lavergne, vicomte de Guilleragues, who died in 1685, before the 'Love-letters' were completed, so he cannot be responsible for the versification.
