46. _Fond complaint_. Foolish complaint. Cf. Shakes. _M. of V._ iii. 3: "I do wonder, Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond To come abroad with him at his request;" Milton, _S. A._ 812: "fond and reasonless," etc. This appears to be the original meaning of the word. In Wiclif's Bible. 1 _Cor._ i. 27, we have "the thingis that ben _fonnyd_ of the world." In _Twelfth Night_, ii. 2, the word is used as a verb=dote: "And I, poor monster, fond as much on him, As she, mistaken, seems to dote on me." 49. Hurd quotes Cowley: "Night and her ugly subjects thou dost fright, And Sleep, the lazy owl of night; Asham'd and fearful to appear, They screen their horrid shapes with the black hemisphere." Wakefield cites Milton, _Hymn on Nativity_, 233 foll.: "The flocking shadows pale," etc. See also _P. R._ iv. 419-431. 50. _Birds of boding cry_. Cf. Green's _Grotto_: "news the boding night-birds tell." 52. Gray refers to Cowley, _Brutus_: "One would have thought 't had heard the morning crow, Or seen her well-appointed star. Come marching up the eastern hill afar." The following variations on 52 and 53 are found in the MS.: Till fierce Hyperion from afar Pours on their scatter'd rear, | Hurls at " flying " | his glittering shafts of war. " o'er " scatter'd " | " " " shadowy " | Till " " " " from far Hyperion hurls around his, etc. The accent of _Hyperion_ is properly on the penult, which is long in quantity, but the English poets, with rare exceptions, have thrown it back upon the antepenult. It is thus in the six instances in which Shakes. uses the word: e.g. _Hamlet_, iii. 4: "Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself." The word does not occur in Milton. It is correctly accented by Drummond (of Hawthornden), _Wand. Muses_: "That Hyperion far beyond his bed Doth see our lions ramp, our roses spread;" by West, _Pindar's Ol._ viii. 22: "Then Hyperion's son, pure fount of day, Did to his children the strange tale reveal;" also by Akenside, and by the author of the old play _Fuimus Troes_ (A.D. 1633): "Blow, gentle Africus, Play on our poops when Hyperion's son Shall couch in west." Hyperion was a Titan, the father of Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon), and Eos (the Dawn). He was represented with the attributes of beauty and splendor afterwards ascribed to Apollo. His "glittering shafts" are of course the sunbeams, the "lucida tela diei" of Lucretius. Cf. a very beautiful description of the dawn in Lowell's _Above and Below_: "'Tis from these heights alone your eyes The advancing spears of day can see, Which o'er the eastern hill-tops rise, To break your long captivity." We may quote also his _Vision of Sir Launfal_: "It seemed the dark castle had gathered all Those shafts the fierce sun had shot over its wall In his siege of three hundred summers long," etc.
