Line 3, 'Wee need to goe to none of all.' " 4, 'stout' for 'great.' " 5, 'ripe and full growne.' " 8, 'unto' for 'into;' the latter preferable. " 10, 'Of those whose large breasts built a throne.' " 11-13, 'For Love their Lord, glorious and great Weel see Him take a private seat, And make ...' I have hesitated whether this ought not to have been adopted as our text; but it is a characteristic of CRASHAW to introduce abruptly long and short lines as in our text, and to carry a thought or metaphor through a number of lines. Line 15, 'had' for 'has,' and 'a' for 'the.' " 21, 'hath,' and so in 1648 edition. " 23, our text (1652) misprints 'enough:' I correct from 1648. " 25, 'had,' 1648 'hath.' " 27, 1648, 'hath.' " 31, 'wee' for 'you.' Line 37, 'thirst' for 'thirsts,' and 'dare' for 'dares.' " 38 spells 'coled.' " 40, 'weake' for 'white;' the latter a favourite epithet with CRASHAW: 1648 'weake.' Line 43, 1648 drops 'at' inadvertently. " 44 spells 'travell:' 1648 has 'for' instead of 'to.' "  45, 'her,' by misprint for 'her's.' " 47, 1648 has 'try' for 'trade.' " 49, 'Shee offers.' 57 spells 'adeiu.' " 61, this line is by oversight dropped from our text (1652). Line 70, spelled 'barborous' in our text, but I have adopted 'a' from 1646 and 1648. Line 71, 'race' for 'raze;' a common contemporary spelling. " 77, 'hand' for 'armes.' " 93, 'The fairest, and the first borne Loves of fire.' " 94, 'Seraphims,' the usual misspelling of the plural of seraph in our English Bible. Line 104, 'To live, but that he still may dy.' " 106, our text (1652) misreads 'sweetly-kissing.' I have adopted 'sweetly-killing' from 1646, 1648 and 1670. Line 108, 1648 has 'thine' for 'his.' " 118, 'disolving.' " 123, our text (1652) inadvertently drops 'shalt,' and misreads 'you' for 'thou.' I accept the text of 1646, 1648 and 1670. line 129, 'on.' " 130, 'shee' for 'reueal'd Life;' and in next line 'her' for 'His.' Our text (1652) is preferable, as pointing to Christ the Life, our Life. See under lines 11-13. Line 133, 'joy.' " 146, 'set;' a common contemporary spelling. " 147, this line, dropped inadvertently from our text (1652), is restored from 1646, 1648 and 1670. Line 148, 'And' for 'All.' " 151, 'Even thy deaths.' " 152, 'Dresse the soul that late they slew.' " 167 misprints 'nowes;' corrected in 1648, but not in 1670. " 168 drops 'soueraign.' See under lines 11-13. " 175, 'keeps.' " 178, 'shall.' Cf. Rev. xiv. 5, as before. G. AN APOLOGIE FOR THE FOREGOING HYMN, AS HAUING BEEN WRITT WHEN THE AUTHOR WAS YET AMONG THE PROTESTANTS.[49]
