709. ~the~: here used generically.

711. ~unwithdrawing~. In this participle the termination _-ing_ seems

almost equivalent to that of the past participle: comp. "_all-obeying_

breath" (= obeyed by all), _A. and C._ iii. 13, 77. Nature's gifts are

not only full but continuous.

714. ~all to please ... curious taste~. _All_ = entirely, here modifies

the infinitives please and sate. _Curious_ = fastidious: its original

sense is 'careful' or 'anxious.' Compare the two senses of _exquisite_,

note l. 359.
