570. ~mine ear~: see note, l. 171.

571. ~wizard~. Here used in contempt, like many other words with the

suffix _-ard_, or _-art_, as braggart, sluggard, etc. Milton

occasionally, however, uses the word merely in the sense of magician or

magical, without implying contempt: see _Lyc._ 55, "Deva spreads her

_wizard_ stream."
