[67] Ver. 4. ἐσείσθησαν οἱ τηροῦντες, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὥσει νεκροί. CR. [68] Barksdale, as before, renders the closing couplet thus: 'Is He the Christ? And the inquiry is Of Himself? Why, the dumb can answer this.' [69] Barksdale, as before, renders the latter couplet. G. [70] Or--To the Jews it is not fire, Yet the name best tells Heav'n's ire. G. [71] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the last couplet: 'Most worthy nest this for the Bird above; Most worthy of this nest is th' holy Dove.' G. [72] Barksdale, as before, renders the latter couplet. G. [73] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the latter couplet: 'These loaves of Christ are well bestow'd: if fed With these, they hunger after living bread.' G. [74] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the latter couplet: 'By your opposing force, Greeks, what is meant? That you have no convincing argument.' G. [75] Barksdale, as before, renders the latter couplet. G. [76] Barksdale, as before, renders the opening couplet. G. [77] = reckoning or debt to be paid. G. [78] By an oversight Willmott renders _ora_ 'regions' instead of 'eyes.' G. [79] Barksdale thus renders the second couplet: 'This house a stable! No: Thy blessèd birth, Jesus, converts it to a heaven on earth.' G. [80] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the closing couplet: 'John is Christ's flame; Domitian, in thine ire, Canst thou e'er hope with oil to extinguish fire?' G. [81] Barksdale thus renders the latter couplet: 'Do, Dragon, do, thy snakes together call, That by Christ's virtue they may perish all.' G. [82] Barksdale, as before, thus renders the closing couplet: 'Shine forth, my Sun: soon as Thy beams are felt, Thy gracious healing beams, my snow will melt.' G. [83] Ver. 31. Sustulerunt lapides. CR. [84] ... Et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua. CR. [85] Act. i. Nubes susceptum eum abstulit. CR. [86] Crashaw must have stopped short in his Greek version of the present and succeeding epigram. G. [87] Rev. i. 16. CR. [88] Is the allusion to Peter's following 'afar off,' and after-denial of the Lord? G. [89] The allusion in l. 5 is to wrestlers anointing themselves to prevent their adversaries grasping them. R. WI. [90] See the above Epigram, with only a few verbal changes, at pp. 160-1, with translation by Rev. Richard Wilton. I add my own, as the inadvertent repetition was not observed until too late. G. [91] This was overlooked in its proper place as Crashaw's own rendering of Epigram VI. p. 39. G. [92] LVI. and LVII. from Tanner MSS., as before. G. [93] Ecclesia. CR. [94] Cf. Wordsworth's 'A faculty for storms' ('Happy Warrior'). G. [95] MS. has no stop here, and leaves a space nearly wide enough for a line. Mr. Wilton has excellently supplied it. Doubtless it was left blank by Sancroft in order to consult the Text, or as unable to decipher the MS. G.
