Found this 1907 printing that includes The Mariner, Christabel, Kublai Khan.
The mariner was no big deal but I really liked Christabel!
The Christabel poem is beautifully written, it just flows of the tongue.
I didn't bother with Kublai Khan because after the disappointing (abrupt) ending on Christabel and researching Coleridge's inability to finish just about anything I decided enough was enough.
He lived near Wordsworth and his wife so there is an interesting real life story here.
The lesbian overtones in Christabel are delicately rendered.
