12. "True Calendar [ ] _Is for to know_ what change is near, Then to assuage The gripings _in_ the chine by age, I'll call my young Iülus to sing such a song I made upon my _mistress'_ breast; _Or such a_ blush at such a feast. 13. "Then shall he read _my Lily fine Entomb'd_ within a crystal shrine: _My_ Primrose next: A piece then of a higher text; For to beget In me a more transcendent heat Than that insinuating fire Which crept into each _reverend_ Sire, 14. "When the _high_ Helen _her fair cheeks Showed to the army of the Greeks;_ At which I'll _rise_ (_Blind though as midnight in my eyes_), And hearing it, Flutter and crow, _and_, in a fit Of _young_ concupiscence, and _feel New flames within the aged steal_. 15. "Thus frantic, crazy man (God wot), I'll call to mind _the times_ forgot And oft between _Sigh out_ the Times that _we_ have seen! _And shed a tear_, And twisting my Iülus _hair_, Doting, I'll weep and say (in truth) Baucis, these were _the_ sins of youth. 16. "Then _will I_ cause my hopeful Lad (If a wild Apple can be had) To crown the Hearth (Lar thus conspiring with our mirth); _Next_ to infuse Our _better beer_ into the cruse: Which, neatly spiced, we'll first carouse Unto the _Vesta_ of the house. 17. "Then the next health to friends of mine _In oysters, and_ Burgundian wine, _Hind, Goderiske, Smith, And Nansagge_, sons of _clune[M] and_ pith, Such _who know_ well _To board_ the magic _bowl_, and _spill All mighty blood, and can do more Than Jove and Chaos them before_." [M] Clune = "clunis," a haunch. This John Wickes or Weekes is spoken of by Anthony à Wood as a "jocular person" and a popular preacher. He enters Wood's _Fasti_ by right of his co-optation as a D.D. in 1643, while the court was at Oxford; his education had been at Cambridge. He was a prebendary of Bristol and Dean of St. Burian in Cornwall, and suffered some persecution as a royalist. Herrick later on, when himself shedless and cottageless, addresses another poem to him as his "peculiar friend," To whose glad threshold and free door I may, a poet, come, though poor. A friend suggests that Hind may have been John Hind, an Anacreontic poet and friend of Greene, and has found references to a Thomas Goodricke of St. John's Coll., Camb., author of two poems on the accession of James I., and a Martin Nansogge, B.A. of Trinity Hall, 1614, afterwards vicar of Cornwood, Devon. Smith is certainly James Smith, who, with Sir John Mennis, edited the _Musarum Deliciæ_, in which the first poem is addressed "to Parson Weekes: an invitation to London," and contains a reference to-- "That old sack Young Herrick took to entertain The Muses in a sprightly vein".
