In another way one of our most ludicrous-serious experiences of

printers' errors was in a paper contributed by us to an American

religious periodical. The subject was Affliction, and we remarked that

God still, as of old with the 'three children' (so-called) permits His

people to be put into the furnace of 'fiery trials,' wherein He _tries_

them whether they be ore or dross. To our horror we found the _t_

changed into _f_, and so read sensationally '_fries_'--all the worse

that some might think it the author's own word.

St. xxviii. and xxx. The star Lucifer or Phosporos, to whom 'the droves

of stars that guild the morn, in charge were given,' can never climb

the North or reach the zenith, being conquered by the effulgence of the

sun of day. When did the fable of the angel Lucifer, founded on an

astronomical appearance, mingle itself as it has done here, and grandly

in MILTON, and in the popular mind generally, with the biblical history

of Satan?

St. xxxvi. line 2. TURNBULL perpetuates the misprint of 'whose' for 'my'

from 1670.

St. li. line 3, 'linage' = 'lineage.' For once 1670 is correct in

reading 'linage' for the misprint 'image' of 1646 and 1648. The original

is literally as follows:

'Herod the liege of Augustus, a man now aged,

Then ruled over the royal courts of David:

Not of the royal _line_ ...'

St. lix. line 3, 'a special worm:' so SHAKESPEARE (Ant. and Cleopatra,

v. 2), 'the pretty worm' and 'the worm.'

St. lx. Every one will be reminded of the tent-scene in Richard III.

At end of this translation PEREGRINE PHILLIPS adds 'cetera desunt--heu!

heu!'

MARINO and CRASHAW have left proper names in the poem unannotated. They

are mostly trite; but these may be noticed: st. xlii. l. 4, Erisichton

(see Ovid, _Met._ viii. 814 &c.); he offended Ceres, and was by her

punished with continual hunger, so that he devoured his own limbs: line

5, Tantalus the fabled son of Zeus and Pluto, whose doom in the 'lower

world,' has been celebrated from Homer (_Od._ xi. 582) onward: ib.

Atreus, grandson of Tantalus, immortalised in infamy with his brother

Thyestes: ib. Progne = Procne, wife of Tereus, who was metamorphosed

into a swallow (Apollod. iii. 14, 8): l. 6, Lycaon, like Tantalus, with

his sons changed by Zeus into wolves (Ovid; Paus. viii. 3, Sec. 1): st.

xliii. line 2, Medea, most famous of the mythical sorcerers: ib.

Jezebel, 2 Kings ix. 10, 36: line 3, Circe, another mythical sorceress:

Scylla, daughter of Typho and rival of Circe, who transformed her (Ovid,

_Met._ xiv. 1-74); cf. Paradise Lost: line 4, the Parae = the Fates, ever

spinning: st. xliv. lines 7-8, all classic monsters: st. xlv. line 1,

'Diomed's horses' = the fabled 'mares' fed on human flesh (Apollod. ii.

5, Sec. 8): 'Phereus' dogs,' or Fereus of mythical celebrity: line 2,

Therodamas or Theromedon, king of Scythia, who fed lions with human

blood (Ovid, _Ibis_ 385, _Pont._ i. 2, 121): line 3, Busiris, associated

with Osiris of Egypt; but Herodotus denies that the Egyptians ever

offered human sacrifices: line 4, Sylla = Sulla: line 5, Lestrigonians,

ancient inhabitants of Sicily who fed on human flesh (Ovid, _Met._ xiv.

233, &c.): line 6, Procrustes, _i.e._ the Stretcher, being a surname of

the famous robber Damastes (Ovid, _Met._ vii. 438): line 7, Scyron, or

Sciron (Ovid, _Met._ vii. 444-447), who threw his captives from the

rocks: line 8, Schinis, more accurately Sinis or Sinnis, a celebrated

robber, his name being connected with {sinomai}, expressing the manner

in which he tore his victims to pieces by tying them to branches of two

trees, which he bent together and then let go (Ovid, _Met._ vii. 440);

according to some he was surnamed Procrustes, but MARINO and CRASHAW

distinguish the two: st. xlvi. line 2, Mezentius, a mythical king of the

Etruscans (Virgil, _Aeneid_, viii. 480, &c.); he put men to death by

tying them to a corpse: ib. Geryon, a fabulous king of Hesperia

(Apollod. ii. 5, Sec. 10); under this name the very reverend Dr. J.H.

Newman has composed one of his most remarkable poems: line 3, Phalaris,

_the_ tyrant of Sicily, whose 'brazen bull' of torture gave point to

Cicero's words concerning him, as 'crudelissimus omnium tyrannorum' (in

Verr. iv. 33): ib. Ochus = Artaxerxes III. a merciless king of Persia:

ib. Ezelinus or Ezzelinus, another wicked tyrant.

THE HYMN OF SAINTE THOMAS,

IN ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.[42]

Ecce panis Angelorum,

Adoro te.

With all the powres my poor heart hath 1

Of humble loue and loyall faith,

Thus lowe (my hidden life!) I bow to Thee

Whom too much loue hath bow'd more low for me.

Down, down, proud Sense! discourses dy! 5

Keep close, my soul's inquiring ey!

Not touch, nor tast, must look for more

But each sitt still in his own dore.

Your ports are all superfluous here,

Saue that which lets in Faith, the eare. 10

Faith is my skill: Faith can beleiue

As fast as Loue new lawes can giue.

Faith is my force: Faith strength affords

To keep pace with those powrfull words.

And words more sure, more sweet then they, 15

Loue could not think, Truth could not say.

O let Thy wretch find that releife

Thou didst afford the faithful theife.

Plead for me, Loue! alleage and show

That Faith has farther here to goe 20

And lesse to lean on: because than _then_

Though hidd as God, wounds with Thee man:

Thomas might touch, none but might see

At least the suffring side of Thee;

And that too was Thy self which Thee did couer, 25

But here eu'n that's hid too which hides the other.

Sweet, consider then, that I

Though allow'd nor hand nor eye

To reach at Thy lou'd face; nor can

Tast Thee God, or touch Thee man, 30

Both yet beleiue; and witnesse Thee

My Lord too and my God, as lowd as he.

Help, Lord, my faith, my hope increase,

And fill my portion in Thy peace:

Giue loue for life; nor let my dayes 35

Grow, but in new powres to Thy name and praise.

O dear memoriall of that Death

Which liues still, and allowes vs breath!

Rich, royall food! Bountyfull bread!

Whose vse denyes vs to the dead; 40

Whose vitall gust alone can giue

The same leaue both to eat and liue;

Liue euer bread of loues, and be

My life, my soul, my surer-selfe to mee.

O soft self-wounding Pelican! 45

Whose brest weepes balm for wounded man:

Ah! this way bend Thy benign floud

To a bleeding heart that gaspes for blood.

That blood, whose least drops soueraign be

To wash my worlds of sins from me. 50

Come Loue! come Lord! and that long day

For which I languish, come away.

When this dry soul those eyes shall see,

And drink the vnseal'd sourse of Thee:

When Glory's sun, Faith's shades shall chase, 55

And for Thy veil giue me Thy face. Amen.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

The original title is 'A Hymne to our Saviour by the Faithfull Receiver

of the Sacrament.' As before in the title of 'The Weeper' 'Sainte' is

misspelled 'Sanite.'

Line 1 in 1648 reads 'power.'

" 8, 'sitt still in his own dore.'

" 9, 'ports' = openings or gates. So in Edinburgh the

'West-port' = a gate of the city in the old west wall.

Line 21, 'than' = 'then.' See our PHINEAS FLETCHER, as before.

Line 29, TURNBULL leaves undetected the 1670 misprint of 'teach' for

'reach.'

Line 33, 1648 supplies 'my faith,' which in our text is inadvertently

dropped; 1670 continues the error, which of course TURNBULL repeated.

Line 36, 1670 edition reads 'Grow, but in new pow'rs to name thy

Praise.'

Lines 37-38 are inadvertently omitted in 1648 edition.

Our text, as will be seen, is arranged in stanzas of irregular form. In

1648 edition it is one continuous poem thus printed:

---------------------

---------------------

--------------------- G.

LAVDA SION SALVATOREM:

THE HYMN FOR THE BL. SACRAMENT.[43]

I.

Rise, royall Sion! rise and sing

Thy soul's kind shepheard, thy hart's King.

Stretch all thy powres; call if you can

Harpes of heaun to hands of man.

This soueraign subject sitts aboue

The best ambition of thy loue.

II.

Lo, the Bread of Life, this day's

Triumphant text, prouokes thy prayse: _incites_

The liuing and life-giuing bread

To the great twelue distributed;

When Life, Himself, at point to dy

Of loue, was His Own legacy.

III.

Come, Loue! and let vs work a song

Lowd and pleasant, sweet and long;

Let lippes and hearts lift high the noise

Of so iust and solemn ioyes,

Which on His white browes this bright day

Shall hence for euer bear away.

IV.

Lo, the new law of a new Lord,

With a new Lamb blesses the board:

The aged Pascha pleads not yeares

But spyes Loue's dawn, and disappeares.

Types yield to truthes; shades shrink away;

And their Night dyes into our Day.

V.

But lest that dy too, we are bid

Euer to doe what He once did:

And by a mindfull, mystick breath

That we may liue, reuiue His death;

With a well-bles't bread and wine,

Transsum'd and taught to turn diuine.

VI.

The Heaun-instructed house of Faith

Here a holy dictate hath,

That they but lend their form and face;--

Themselues with reuerence leaue their place,

Nature, and name, to be made good,

By a nobler bread, more needfull blood.

VII.

Where Nature's lawes no leaue will giue,

Bold Faith takes heart, and dares beleiue

In different species: name not things,

Himself to me my Saviovr brings;

As meat in that, as drink in this,

But still in both one Christ He is.

VIII.

The receiuing mouth here makes

Nor wound nor breach in what he takes.

Let one, or one thovsand be

Here diuiders, single he

Beares home no lesse, all they no more,

Nor leaue they both lesse then before.

IX.

Though in it self this soverain Feast

Be all the same to euery guest,

Yet on the same (life-meaning) Bread

The child of death eates himself dead:

Nor is't Loue's fault, but Sin's dire skill

That thus from Life can death distill.

X.

When the blest signes thou broke shalt see

Hold but thy faith intire as He

Who, howsoe're clad, cannot come

Lesse then whole Christ in euery crumme.

In broken formes a stable Faith

Vntouch't her precious totall hath.

XI.

So the life-food of angells then

Bow'd to the lowly mouths of men!

The children's Bread, the Bridegroom's Wine;

Not to be cast to dogges, or swine.

XII.

Lo, the full, finall Sacrifice

On which all figures fix't their eyes:

The ransom'd Isack, and his ramme;

The manna, and the paschal lamb.

XIII.

Iesv Master, iust and true!

Our food, and faithfull Shephard too!

O by Thy self vouchsafe to keep,

As with Thy selfe Thou feed'st Thy sheep.

XIV.

O let that loue which thus makes Thee

Mix with our low mortality,

Lift our lean soules, and sett vs vp

Con-victors of Thine Own full cup,

Coheirs of saints. That so all may

Drink the same wine; and the same way:

Nor change the pastvre, but the place,

To feed of Thee, in Thine Own face. Amen.

NOTES.

In 1648, line 3 has 'thou' for 'you:' line 4 'and' for 'to:' line 6,

'ambitious:' line 19, 'Lord' is misprinted 'Law:' line 39, 'names:' line

42 spells 'one' as 'on:' line 55, our text (1652) misprints 'shall:'

line 75, 1648 reads 'mean' for 'lean.' G.

PRAYER:

AN ODE WHICH WAS PRAEFIXED TO A LITTLE PRAYER-BOOK GIVEN TO A YOUNG

GENTLE-WOMAN.[44]

Lo here a little volume, but great book! 1

(Feare it not, sweet,

It is no hipocrit)

Much larger in itselfe then in its looke.

A nest of new-born sweets; 5

Whose natiue fires disdaining

To ly thus folded, and complaining

Of these ignoble sheets,

Affect more comly bands

(Fair one) from thy kind hands; 10

And confidently look

To find the rest

Of a rich binding in your brest.

It is, in one choise handfull, Heauvn; and all

Heaun's royall host; incampt thus small 15

To proue that true, Schooles vse to tell,

Ten thousand angels in one point can dwell.

It is Loue's great artillery

Which here contracts it self, and comes to ly 19

Close-couch't in your white bosom; and from thence

As from a snowy fortresse of defence,

Against the ghostly foes to take your part,

And fortify the hold of your chast heart.

It is an armory of light;

Let constant vse but keep it bright, 25

You'l find it yields

To holy hands and humble hearts

More swords and sheilds

Then sin hath snares, or Hell hath darts.

Only be sure 30

The hands be pure

That hold these weapons; and the eyes,

Those of turtles, chast and true;

Wakefull and wise:

Here is a freind shall fight for you; 35

Hold but this book before your heart,

Let prayer alone to play his part;

But O the heart

That studyes this high art

Must be a sure house-keeper: 40

And yet no sleeper.

Dear soul, be strong!

Mercy will come e're long

And bring his bosome fraught with blessings,

Flowers of neuer-fading graces 45

To make immortall dressings

For worthy soules, whose wise embraces

Store vp themselues for Him, Who is alone

The Spovse of virgins and the virgin's Son.

But if the noble Bridegroom, when He come, 50

Shall find the loytering heart from home;

Leauing her chast aboad

To gadde abroad

Among the gay mates of the god of flyes;

To take her pleasure, and to play 55

And keep the deuill's holyday;

To dance in th' sunshine of some smiling

But beguiling

Spheare of sweet and sugred lyes;

Some slippery pair 60

Of false, perhaps, as fair,

Flattering but forswearing, eyes;

Doubtlesse some other heart

Will gett the start

Meanwhile, and stepping in before 65

Will take possession of that sacred store

Of hidden sweets and holy ioyes;

Words which are not heard with eares

(Those tumultuous shops of noise)

Effectuall whispers, whose still voice 70

The soul it selfe more feeles then heares;

Amorous languishments; luminous trances;

Sights which are not seen with eyes;

Spirituall and soul-peircing glances

Whose pure and subtil lightning flyes 75

Home to the heart, and setts the house on fire,

And melts it down in sweet desire

Yet doth not stay

To ask the windows' leaue, to passe that way;

Delicious deaths; soft exalations 80

Of soul; dear and diuine annihilations;

A thousand vnknown rites

Of ioyes and rarefy'd delights;

A hundred thousand goods, glories, and graces:

And many a mystick thing 85

Which the diuine embraces

Of the deare Spouse of spirits, with them will bring,

For which it is no shame

That dull mortality must not know a name.

Of all this hidden store 90

Of blessings, and ten thousand more

(If when He come

He find the heart from home)

Doubtlesse He will vnload

Himself some other where, 95

And poure abroad

His pretious sweets

On the fair soul whom first He meets.

O fair, O fortunate! O riche! O dear!

O happy and thrice-happy she 100

Deare silver-breasted dove

Who ere she be,

Whose early loue

With winged vowes

Makes hast to meet her morning Spouse, 105

And close with His immortall kisses.

Happy indeed, who neuer misses

To improue that pretious hour,

And euery day

Seize her sweet prey, 110

All fresh and fragrant as He rises,

Dropping with a baulmy showr,

A delicious dew of spices;

O let the blissfull heart hold it fast

Her heaunly arm-full; she shall tast 115

At once ten thousand paradises;

She shall haue power

To rifle and deflour

The rich and roseall spring of those rare sweets

Which with a swelling bosome there she meets: 120

Boundles and infinite ___________

___________ Bottomles treasures

Of pure inebriating pleasures.

Happy proof! she shal discouer

What ioy, what blisse, 125

How many heau'ns at once it is

To haue her God become her Lover.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

The text of 1648 corresponds pretty closely, except in the usual changes

of orthography, with our text (1652): and 1670, in like manner, follows

that of 1646. 1646 edition furnishes some noticeable variations:

Line 1, 'large' for 'great.'

" 2-4 restored to their place here. TURNBULL gives them

in a foot-note with this remark: 'So in the Paris edition of

1652. In all the others,

Fear it not, sweet,

It is no hypocrite,

Much larger in itself, than in its book.'

This is a mistake. The only edition that omits the lines (5-13) besides

the first (1646) and substitutes these three is that of 1670.

Lines 5-13 not in 1646 edition: first appeared in 1648 edition.

" 14, 'choise' for 'rich.'

" 15, 'hoasts' for 'host.'

" 17, 'Ten thousand.'

" 20. Our text (1652) here and elsewhere misreads 'their:'

silently corrected.

Line 22. Our text (1652) misprints 'their' for 'the:' as 'the' is the

reading of 1648 and 1670, I have adopted it.

Line 24, 'the' for 'an.'

" 27, 'hand' for 'hands.'

" 37, 1648 edition has 'its' for 'his.'

" 44. Our text (1652) oddly misprints 'besom' for 'bosome:'

the latter reading in 1646, 1648 and 1670 vindicates

itself. 1646 reads 'her' and 1648 'its' for 'his.'

Line 50, 'comes' for 'come.'

" 51, 'wandring' for 'loytering.'

" 54. The allusion is to one of the names of Satan, viz.

Baal-zebub = fly-god, dunghill-god.

Line 55, 'pleasures.'

" 57. Our text (1652) inadvertently drops 'in.' 1648

has 'i' th'.'

Line 59. Our text misprints 'spheares:' 1648 adopts 'spheare' from 1646

edition. 1670 misprints 'spear.'

Line 62, 'forswearing:' a classic word.

" 64, 'git' is the spelling.

" 65. All the editions save our text (1652) omit 'meanwhile.'

Line 66, 'the' for 'that.'

" 69, 'These' for 'Those,' by mistake.

" 78, 'doth' for 'does' I have adopted here.

" 83, 1648, by misprint, has 'O' for 'Of.'

" 84, 'An hundred thousand loves and graces.'

" 90. I have accepted 'hidden' before 'store' from 1646

edition.

Line 101. I have also adopted this characteristic line from 1646

edition. In all the others (except 1670) it is 'Selected dove.'

Line 107, 'soule' for 'indeed.'

" 114, 'that' for 'the.'

" 121-122. In 1648 printed as _supra_, the lines probably

indicating a blank where the MS. was illegible. In our text

(1652) we have two lines, but no blank indicated.

Line 124, 'soul' for 'proof.'

" 127, 'a' for 'her.' G.

TO THE SAME PARTY:

COVNCEL CONCERNING HER CHOISE.[45]

Dear, Heaun-designed sovl! 1

Amongst the rest

Of suters that beseige your maiden brest,

Why may not I

My fortune try 5

And venture to speak one good word,

Not for my self, alas! but for my dearer Lord?

You have seen allready, in this lower sphear

Of froth and bubbles, what to look for here:

Say, gentle soul, what can you find 10

But painted shapes,

Peacocks and apes;

Illustrious flyes,

Guilded dunghills, glorious lyes;

Goodly surmises 15

And deep disguises,

Oathes of water, words of wind?

Trvth biddes me say 'tis time you cease to trust

Your soul to any son of dust.

'Tis time you listen to a brauer loue, 20

Which from aboue

Calls you vp higher

And biddes you come

And choose your roome

Among His own fair sonnes of fire; 25

Where you among

The golden throng

That watches at His palace doores

May passe along,

And follow those fair starres of your's; 30

Starrs much too fair and pure to wait vpon

The false smiles of a sublunary sun.

Sweet, let me prophesy that at last t'will proue

Your wary loue

Layes vp his purer and more pretious vowes, 35

And meanes them for a farre more worthy Spovse

Then this World of lyes can giue ye:

Eu'n for Him with Whom nor cost,

Nor loue, nor labour can be lost;

Him Who neuer will deceiue ye. 40

Let not my Lord, the mighty Louer

Of soules, disdain that I discouer

The hidden art

Of His high stratagem to win your heart:

It was His heaunly art 45

Kindly to cross you

In your mistaken loue;

That, at the next remoue

Thence, He might tosse you

And strike your troubled heart 50

Home to Himself; to hide it in His brest:

The bright ambrosiall nest

Of Loue, of life, and euerlasting rest.

Happy mystake!

That thus shall wake 55

Your wise soul, neuer to be wonne

Now with a loue below the sun.

Your first choyce failes; O when you choose agen

May it not be amongst the sonnes of men.

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

The first line, 'To Mistress M.R.

Dear, Heav'n-designed soul,'

as in 1670, is not to be considered as an unrhymed line, but as the

address or superscription, though so contrived as not to interfere with

the metre, but to make a five-foot line with the two feet of the true

first line of the poem. So Parolles prefaces his verse with

'Dian, the count's a fool and full of gold.'

(_All's Well that ends Well_, iv. 3.)

and Longaville (_Love's Labour Lost_) prefixes to his sonnet,

'O sweet Maria, empress of my love.'

In fact, it is the 'Madam' of a poetical epistle brought into metrical

harmony with the verse. G.

DESCRIPTION OF A RELIGIOVS HOVSE AND CONDITION OF LIFE.

(OVT OF BARCLAY.)[46]

No roofes of gold o're riotous tables shining 1

Whole dayes and suns, deuour'd with endlesse dining.

No sailes of Tyrian sylk, proud pauements sweeping,

Nor iuory couches costlyer slumber keeping;

False lights of flairing gemmes; tumultuous ioyes; 5

Halls full of flattering men and frisking boyes;

What'ere false showes of short and slippery good

Mix the mad sons of men in mutuall blood.

But walkes, and vnshorn woods; and soules, iust so

Vnforc't and genuine; but not shady tho. 10

Our lodgings hard and homely as our fare,

That chast and cheap, as the few clothes we weare.

Those, course and negligent, as the naturall lockes

Of these loose groues; rough as th' vnpolish't rockes.

A hasty portion of praescribed sleep; 15

Obedient slumbers, that can wake and weep,

And sing, and sigh, and work, and sleep again;

Still rowling a round spear of still-returning pain.

Hands full of harty labours; paines that pay

And prize themselves: doe much, that more they may, 20

And work for work, not wages; let to-morrow's

New drops, wash off the sweat of this daye's sorrows.

A long and dayly-dying life, which breaths

A respiration of reuiuing deaths.

But neither are there those ignoble stings 25

That nip the blossome of the World's best things,

And lash Earth-labouring souls....

No cruell guard of diligent cares, that keep

Crown'd woes awake, as things too wise for sleep:

But reuerent discipline, and religious fear, 30

And soft obedience, find sweet biding here;

Silence, and sacred rest; peace, and pure ioyes;

Kind loues keep house, ly close, make no noise;

And room enough for monarchs, while none swells

Beyond the kingdomes of contentfull cells. 35

The self-remembring sovl sweetly recouers

Her kindred with the starrs; not basely houers

Below: but meditates her immortall way

Home to the originall sourse of Light and intellectuall day

NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

In 1648 the heading is simply 'Description of a religious house.' The

original occurs in BARCLAY'S _Argenis_, book v. These variations include

one important correction of a long-standing blunder:

Line 3, 1648 misprints 'weeping' for 'sweeping.'

" 4, 'costly' for 'costlyer.'

" 6, 'flatt'ring' for 'flattering.'

" 19-20. Our text (1652), followed by 1670, strangely confuses

this couplet by printing,

'Hands full of harty labours; doe much, that more they may.'

TURNBULL, as usual, unintelligently repeats the blunder. Even in using

the text of 1652 exceptionally, if only he found it confirmed by 1670,

there was no vigilance. The reading of 1648 puts all right.

Line 23. Our text misspells 'ding.'

" 26. Misprinted 'bosome' in all the editions, and perpetuated

by TURNBULL. Line 27 that follows is a break (unrhymed).

Line 33. 1648 misreads 'keep no noise.' G.
