7. _His wrath is free from perturbation._ August. _de Civ. Dei_, ix. 5: Ipse Deus secundum Scripturas irascitur, nec tamen ullâ passione turbatur. _Enchir. ad Laurent._ 33: Cum irasci dicitur Deus, non significatur perturbatio, qualis est in animo irascentis hominis. 9. _Those Spotless two Lambs._ "This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord: two lambs of the first year without spot, day by day, for a continual burnt-offering." (Numb. xxviii. 3.) 17. _An Anthem sung in the Chapel of Whitehall._ This may be added to Nos. 96-98, and 102, the poems on which Mr. Hazlitt bases his conjecture that Herrick may have held some subordinate post in the Chapel Royal. 37. _When once the sin has fully acted been._ Tacitus, _Ann._ xiv. 10: Perfecto demum scelere, magnitudo ejus intellecta est. 38. _Upon Time._ Were this poem anonymous it would probably be attributed rather to George Herbert than to Herrick. 41. _His Litany to the Holy Spirit._ We may quote again from Barron Field's account in the _Quarterly Review_ (1810) of his cross-examination of the Dean Prior villagers for Reminiscences of Herrick: "The person, however, who knows more of Herrick than all the rest of the neighbourhood we found to be a poor woman in the 99th year of her age, named Dorothy King. She repeated to us, with great exactness, five of his _Noble Numbers_, among which was his beautiful 'Litany'. These she had learnt from her mother, who was apprenticed to Herrick's successor at the vicarage. She called them her prayers, which she said she was in the habit of putting up in bed, whenever she could not sleep; and she therefore began the 'Litany' at the second stanza:-- 'When I lie within my bed,' etc." Another of her midnight orisons was the poem beginning:-- "Every night Thou dost me fright, And keep mine eyes from sleeping," etc. The last couplet, it should be noted, is misquoted from No. 56. 54. _Spew out all neutralities._ From the message to the Church of the Laodiceans, Rev. iii. 16. 59. _A Present by a Child._ Cp. "A pastoral upon the Birth of Prince Charles" (_Hesperides_ 213), and Note. 63. _God's mirth: man's mourning._ Perhaps founded on Prov. i. 26: "I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh". 65. _My Alma._ The name is probably suggested by its meaning "soul". Cp. Prior's _Alma_. 72. _I'll cast a mist and cloud._ Cp. Hor. I. _Ep._ xvi. 62: Noctem peccatis et fraudibus objice nubem. 75. _That house is bare._ Horace, _Ep._ I. vi. 45: Exilis domus est, ubi non et multa supersunt. 77. _Lighten my candle_, etc. The phraseology of the next five lines is almost entirely from the Psalms and the Song of Solomon. 86. _Sin leads the way._ Hor. _Odes_, III. ii. 32: Raro antecedentem scelestum Deseruit pede Poena claudo. 88. _By Faith we ... walk ..., not by the Spirit._ 2 Cor. v. 7: "We walk by faith, not by sight". 'By the Spirit' perhaps means, 'in spiritual bodies'.
