Among the English poems of the 'Steps to the Temple' and 'Delights
of the Muses' of 1646 were the following, in order: In Picturam
Reverendissimi Episcopi D. Andrews (p. 89)--Epitaphium in Dominum
Herrisium (pp. 92-3)--Principi recens natae omen maternae indolis
(pp. 108-9)--In Serenissimae Reginae partum hyemalem (pp. 118-9)--Ad
Reginam (pp. 121-2)--In faciem Augustiss. Regis a morbillis integram
(p. 127)--Rex Redux (pp. 131-2), and Ad Principem nondum natum (p.
133). In the enlarged edition of 1648 besides these, there appeared:
Bulla (pp. 54-58)--Thesaurus Malorum Foemina (p. 59)--In Apollinea
depereuntem Daphnen (pp. 60-1)--Aeneas Patris sui Bajulus (p.

Lucrum (pp. 64-5)--Humanae Vitae Descriptio (p. 65)--Tranquillitas
Animi, Similitudine ducta ab Ave captiva et canora tamen (pp. 66-7).
These Poems I have arranged under two classes: (_a_) Miscellaneous,
really, not merely formally, poetry: (_b_) Royal and other
commemorative pieces. The former in the present section, the latter
in the next. See our Essay on each. Nearly the whole of the
translations in this division are by myself, with additional
renderings of some by Rev. Thomas Ashe, M.A., as before, and others
by Rev. Richard Wilton, M.A., as before, as pointed out in the
places.
As before, I note here the more misleading errors of Turnbull's
text. In 'Bulla,' l. 1, 'timores' for 'tumores;' l. 4, 'dextera
mihi' for 'dextra mei;' l. 54, 'nitent' for 'niteat;' l. 80, 'avis'
for 'uvis;' l. 84, 'nives' for 'niveae;' l. 85, 'sint' for 'sunt;'
l. 154, 'desinet' for 'defluet;' l. 157, 'Tempe' for 'Nempe:' in
Tranquillitas Animi,' l. 13, 'minis minisque' for 'nimis nimisque;'
l. 16, 'patrisque' for 'patreaeque;' l. 20, 'provocabit' for
'provocabat:' in 'Humanae Vitae Descriptio,' l. 13, 'more' for
'mare:' in 'Apollinea depereuntem Daphnen,' l. 12, 'ores' for
'oris:' in Phoenicis Genethliacon et Epicedion,' l. 5, 'teipsum' for
'teipsam:' in 'Epitaphium,' l. 6, 'tremulum' for 'tremulam;' l. 7,
'discas' for 'disces,' 'hinc' for 'huc,' and 'reponas' for
'repones;' l. 10, 'miseris' for 'nimis:' in 'Thesaurus Malorum
Foemina,' l. 16, 'Pietas' for 'Pectus.' G.
