[Greek: Hoiô daimoni], _Hierocles_ expounds [Greek: hoia psychê]. _Genius_ includes both. [_what t' embrace_] _Hierocles_ [Greek: panta ta deonta], _all that they ought to do._ [_from the[3] body's stain_] _Hierocles from the infection of the body._ [_In times[3] of prayer_] [Greek: En te lysei psychês], _Meditation_. See _Plato in Phaedone_. [_and cleansing_] Which extended (saith _Hierocles_) [Greek: heôs sitiôn kai potôn kai tês holês diaitês tou thnêtou hêmôn sômatos] _to meat and drink_, &c. [_meats denied_] What they were is expressed by _Laertius_, _Suidas_, _Hierocles_, _Agellius_, &c. _Hierocles_ affirms that in these words [Greek: hôn eipomen], he cites his _sacred Apothegms_: [Greek: ta de epi merous en tois hierois apophthegmasin, en aporrhêtô paredidoito], _Concerning meat is particularly delivered in his holy Apothegms, that which was not lawful to make known to every one._ Which is a great testimony that _Pythagoras_, and not any of his disciples, writ these verses; for if the author had cited him before in the third person (as they argue from [Greek: paradonta tetrakên][4]), he would have cited him now in the first. [Footnote 1: 'These' and 'those' are originally 'crossed over' in text and note.] [Footnote 2: [Greek: tetrakên] should, as indeed the context proclaims, be [Greek: tetraktyn].] [Footnote 3: Slight alteration of text in notes again original.] [Footnote 4: See above. The mistake is an odd one because the original oath is in hexameters and [Greek: tetraktyn] is absolutely necessary as the last word.] FINIS. POEMS APPEARING ONLY IN THE EDITION OF 1656 On this swelling bank, once proud Of its burden, Doris lay: Here she smil'd, and did uncloud Those bright suns eclipse the day; Here we sat, and with kind art She about me twin'd her arms, Clasp'd in hers my hand and heart, Fetter'd in those pleasing charms. Here my love and joys she crown'd, Whilst the hours stood still before me, 10 With a killing glance did wound, And a melting kiss restore me. On the down of either breast, Whilst with joy my soul retir'd, My reclining head did rest, Till her lips new life inspir'd. Thus, renewing of these sights Doth with grief and pleasure fill me, And the thought of these delights Both at once revive and kill me! 20 Dear, fold me once more in thine arms! And let me know Before I go There is no bliss but in those charms. By thy fair self I swear That here, and only here, I would for ever, ever stay: But cruel Fate calls me away.
