[Line: 4 _1647_ 'They both unite and join'. But Miss Guiney's suspicion that 'forms' may be a misprint obviously shows forgetfulness of the philosophical sense of the word = 'ideas', 'immortal parts'. Cf. Spenser, 'For soul is _form_'.] [Line: 6 by] _1647_ 'and'--perhaps better.] [Line: 12 _1647_ 'Our lips, not tongues, each other's thoughts betray'. (Miss Guiney's copy seems to have '_our_ tongues', which cannot be right.)] [Line: 15 for I] and I _1647_.] [Line: 17 dearest] _1647_ 'Doris'. This is the second time (_v. sup._, p. 126) that poor Doris has been disestablished.] _Apollo and Daphne._ GARCILASSO MARINO. When Phoebus saw a rugged bark beguile His love, and his embraces intercept, The leaves, instructed by his grief to smile, Taking fresh growth and verdure as he wept: 'How can', saith he, 'my woes expect release, When tears the subject of my tears increase!' His chang'd, yet scorn-retaining Fair he kiss'd, From the lov'd trunk plucking a little bough; And though the conquest which he sought he miss'd, With that triumphant spoil adorns his brow. 10 Thus this disdainful maid his aim deceives: Where he expected fruit he gathers leaves. [_Apollo and Daphne._] Why Garcilasso I do not know. Marini's name was Giambattista.] [Line: 6 The first 'tears' certainly looks odd, and Miss Guiney conjectures 'leaves'. But the ways of Marinism are not thus. Apollo's tears _watered_ the laurel and so made it grow. His tears increased their subject, the vapid vegetable substitute for Daphne's flesh and blood.] _Speaking and Kissing._ The air, which thy smooth voice doth break, Into my soul like lightning flies; My life retires whilst thou dost speak, And thy soft breath its room supplies. Lost in this pleasing ecstasy, I join my trembling lips to thine; And back receive that life from thee, Which I so gladly did resign. Forbear, Platonic fools, t' inquire What numbers do the soul compose! No harmony can life inspire, But that which from these accents flows. [_Speaking and Kissing._] This is _smarter_ than Stanley's usual style.] _The Snow-ball._
