Crashaw, Richard
English poetry -- Early modern, 1500-1700
[135] In 1648 (last four lines), l. 2 is misprinted 'Anglica nec' for
'Anglicana,' and l. 3 'militia' for 'malitia' of 1646 edition. There is
some obscurity in the 'ad vesperas legit.' The intransitive use seems
unusual, unless it means as above = the Anglican Church performs the
evening service at the close of its day, or before it ceased to exist as
the Church of the land. Laud was now commencing those innovations which
led to the destruction of the Church of England. G.
[136] From 'Delights of the Muses,' after 'Upon the Death of Mr. Herrys'
(of vol. i. pp. 220-1). Not given by Turnbull. G.
[137] For Crashaw's own translation of this see vol. i. p. 217. G.
