Crashaw, Richard
English poetry -- Early modern, 1500-1700
[96] I have ventured to supply a connecting line in place of the
pentameter here dropt out; which might have been something like this:
'Inque brevi vita splendida facta micent.' R. WI.
[97] From 'The Recommendation' illustration in 'Carmen D. nostro'
(Paris, 1652). See vol. i. in 4to, p. 43. G.
[98] See Illustration (in 4to) by Mrs. Blackburn to ll. 13-14 as
vignette in Essay. G.
[99] Query, in the heading (Latin), 'In Apolline_m_'? but 'Apolline_a_'
is in all the texts. G.
[100] Appeared originally in 1648 edition (pp. 63-4), under the title of
'Elegia.' It was subsequently headed 'In eundem,' following the
Epitaph-poem on Harris (see above). G.
[101] In agro Sudovolgorum.
[102] Nomen Elda (_Cancrorum idiomate_) [backwards].
[103] Pretium annuum haud invidendum, XX_s._
[104] Patibulo, quod tribus constat lignis, arrectariis binis, et trabe
transversa.
[105] Quattuor, quia equus quadrupes videbatur in eam sententiam quasi
pedibus ire.
[106] Vulgo acquietantia.
[107] Organum est librite hydrobapticum ad omnium ripas situm, linguæ
fervore refrigerando.
[108] The Common Pleas in Westminster Hall.
[109] A writ.
[110] The return of the writ [the morrow of All Souls].
[111] The plaintiff.
[112] Stylus curiae. Si quis alicui in jurgio pilum imminuerit, prodit
tragica accusatio de insultu et vulnere, ita quod de ejus vita
desperabatur. O forensem exaggerationem!
[113] It is not easy to bring-out the play on _terga dabit_--'terga
dare' being equivalent to 'fugere'--and yet indicative of the boy's
punishment on the back of the whipping-horse.
[114] Alluding to Pegasus, and the fountain caused by stroke of hoof.
[115] See Memorial-Introduction, vol. i., and our Essay in the present
Volume, for notices of Brooke. G.
[116] See notice of Dr. Mansell in note to the translation. The present
poem is printed by Mr. Searle in his 'History of the Queen's College
&c.' 1871, pp. 448-9. G.
