1st edition (1603) and 1613 version
  • |year= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1613 version, specify |year=1613. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1605).
  • |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:

  • |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory:
    • Only "The Barons Warres" is paginated. If quoting from this part of the work, use the above parameters to specify 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 book (1st–6th) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

In the 1613 version, pages 101–108 are missing. If quoting from these pages, use the 1st edition or 1630 version instead.

  • If quoting from unpaginated parts of the work, 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=_CXCPBoNITkC&pg=PP10 specify |page=10, and if the URL ends with ...PT1 specify |page=1, and if it is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_poems-_drayton-michael_1605/page/n3/mode/1up specify |page=3. You must specify this information to have the template determine the part of the work quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work. (The three dedications mentioned in the table above are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the webpage to be linked to.)
  • |1= or |folio=, and |verso= – mandatory in some cases: "Englands Heroicall Epistles" is numbered by folios rather than page numbers. The folio number is indicated on the top right corner of each recto (right-hand) page. Use |folio= to indicate the folio number, and if quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted. If quoting a range of folios, for example, "folios 10, verso – 11, recto", note the following:
    • Use |folio= and |verso= to specify the folio at the start of the range, and |folioend= and |versoend= (if required) to specify the folio at the end of the range.
    • In addition, use |folioref= and |versoref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears). (If quoting a recto page, omit |versoend= and |versoref=.)
These parameters must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

In the 1613 version, folio 41 (recto and verso) is missing. If quoting from the text on this folio, use the 1st edition or 1630 version instead.

  • |sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – if quoting from leaves which are not foliated or paginated, |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
    • If a signature number is not indicated on a page, extrapolate it from the signature numbers before and after the page and enclose it in brackets using [ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4]: see the example below.
    • If quoting a range of signatures, for example, "signatures Bb, verso – Bb2, recto", use |sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.
    • If this parameter is omitted, the template links the URL of the online version of the work to the name of the part of the work quoted from.
1630 version
  • |year= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1630 version, specify |year=1630. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition.
  • |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:

As the dedication, "To the Reader of the Barons Warres, and "To the Reader" before "Englands Heroicall Epistles" are unpaginated, use |1= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=jcN5yMpplPsC&pg=PP5, specify |page=5. (Some of the other chapters mentioned in the table above are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the webpage to be linked to.)
  • |url= – use this parameter to specify the URL of the webpage to be linked to if the template cannot determine it even if |1= or |page= is specified.
  • |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.

  • |sonnet= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from "Idea" or "Certaine Other Sonnets to Great and Worthy Personages", the sonnet number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |stanza= – a stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
