[44] By a singular misprint Barksdale thus reads: 'The thief which bless'd upon the Cross with Me,' &c. G. [45] Barksdale thus renders the first couplet: 'Magdalen! thou prevent'st the morning light; =anticipatest But thy Sun was already in thy sight.' G. [46] Phil. i. 23, τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν ἔχων εἰς τὸ ἀναλύσαι. [47] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the latter couplet: 'All things subside by their own weight: I think Thy lightness only, Peter, makes thee sink.' [48] Christi scilicet. C. [The reference is to a runaway slave, whose punishment would be crucifixion. G.] [49] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the latter couplet: 'After so many miracles done well, He that believes not is a miracle.' [50] Query: Is there a punning-play on Judas' 'All Hail' (_i.e._ All Hallow) before the Betrayal? G. [51] Cf. Crashaw's own hitherto unpublished poem, amplifying the epigram, in 'Airelles,' vol. i. pp. 185-6. G. [52] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the closing couplet: 'Thou receiv'st and receiv'st not Christ; for He Comes not into thy house, but into thee.' [53] Barksdale, as before, translates the last couplet thus: 'Enough! I have seen, have seen my Saviour: Beside Thee, Christ, I would see nothing more.' [54] Joan. vii. 46. [55] Cf. our vol. i. pp. 50-1. G. [56] See vol. i. pp. 47-8, for Crashaw's own poem enlarging the epigram. G.

[61] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the last couplet: 'To see Christ was first in my desire: Next, having seen Thee, forthwith to expire.' [62] Barksdale, as before, inserts an anonymous epigram on the same subject as _supra_, being the only one not by Crashaw in the volume. It is as follows: '40. Mulier Canaanitis. Matt. 15. _Femina tam fortis, &c._ 'O woman, how great is that faith of thine! _Fides_ more than a grammar's feminine.' In another application, quaint old Dr. Worship, in his 'Earth raining upon Heaven' (1614), in rebuking the unfeminine boldness of the sex, says, 'Harke yee grammarians: _Hic mulier_ ere long will be good Latin' (pp. 5, 6). G. [63] For Crashaw's own rendering of this epigram or poem, see our vol. i. pp. 50-1. G. [64] Cf. St. Matt. iv. 3. G. [65] Joan. xix. 41. ἐν ᾧ οὐδέπω οὐδεὶς ἐτέθη CR.
