Live to be old, and still a man? Whose latest, and most leaden houres, Fall with soft wings, stuck with soft flowres; And when Life's sweet fable ends, His soul and bodie part like friends: 50 No quarrels, murmures, no delay: A kisse, a sigh, and so away? This rare one, Reader, would'st thou see, Heark hither: and thyself be he. NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS. Besides the reprint of 1646 as _supra_, this poem appeared in 1648 (pp. 8, 9), 1652 (pp. 126-8), where it is entitled 'Temperance. Of the Cheap Physitian, vpon the Translation of Lessivs (pp. 126-8):' and 1670 (pp. 108-9 and pp. 207-8, being inadvertently printed twice). These variations are noticeable: Line 1, in 1648 and 1652, 'Goe now and with....' " 2, in 1670, 'the' for 'thy;' and TURNBULL, as usual, repeats the error. Line 3, in 1648 'pretious' for 'cruel:' so 1670 in 2d copy. " 9, ib. 'last' for 'length,' and 1670 'gaine' for 'get' in 2d copy. Lines 11, 12, this couplet is inadvertently dropped in 1648. I adopt ''gainst' for 'against' from SANCROFT MS. in line 12. Line 15, ib. 'wilt' for 'wouldst.' " 18, 'physick' in 1646, 1648 and 1670 (1st copy); but 'musick' is assuredly the finer reading, as in Hygiasticon and 1670 (in 2d copy). Cf. lines 19, 20, onward, which show that 'music' was intended. Line 25, in all the three editions 'a' for 'whose:' in 1670 (2d copy) 'A soul sheath'd....' Line 34, in 1646 'hath' for 'rides in,' and so in 1670 (1st copy): 'hath' seems the simpler and better. Line 35, 1646 and 1670 misinsert 'thou' before 'see.' " 38, 'set' for 'seat' in the three editions (1670, 1st copy); adopted. Line 41, in 1648 'Would'st see nests of new roses grow:' so 1670 (2d copy). Line 46, 1646 and 1670 end here. Leonard Lessius was a learned Jesuit, born 1st October 1554, and died 15th January 1623-4. He was professor of theology in the University of Louvaine. His 'Hygiasticon, seu vera ratio valetudinis bonæ et vitæ' is still readable and quick. G. THE BEGINNING OF HELIODORUS.[65]
