There are poems that appear in both "&" and "is 5" #294

We have at least a few poems that appear the table of contents for both books. The ones I have spotted are:

Since we do not have an original first edition of "&," our table of contents for that book was drawn from another source. It's possible that it is inaccurate and introducing the redundancy. We know that the tables have been changed in subsequent through the years. It's also possible the poems were printed twice and everything is historically accurate.

Until we can solve the riddle by fixing #127 and acquiring a first edition of "&," the poems will be duplicated and included in both books.
