of _A Bacchanalian Verse_ (_Hesperides_ 653), on which see Note. Dr. Grosart explains the Ashmole reading _Wine_ by the Note "_οἶνος_ and _vinum_ both give five, the number of perfection"; but this seems too far-fetched for Herrick. _Kiss, so depart._ By a strange freak Ashmole MS. writes _Guesse_, and the Museum MS. _Ghesse_; but the emendation _Kiss_ (adopted both by Dr. Grosart and Mr. Hazlitt) cannot be doubted. _Well doing's the fruit of doing well._ Seneca, _de Clem._ i. 1: Rectè factorum verus fructus [est] fecisse. Also _Ep._ 81: Recte facti fecisse merces est. The latter, and Cicero, _de Finib._ II. xxii. 72, are quoted by Montaigne, _Ess._ II. xvi. _A Carol presented to Dr. Williams._ From Ashmole MS. 36, 298. For Dr. Williams, see Note to _Hesperides_ 146. This poem was apparently written in 1640, after the removal of the bishop's suspension. _His Mistress to him at his Farewell._ From Add. MS. 11, 811, at the British Museum, where it is signed "Ro. Herrick". _Upon Parting._ From Harleian MS. 6917, at the British Museum. _Upon Master Fletcher's Incomparable Plays._ Printed in Beaumont and Fletcher's Works, 1647, and Beaumont's Poems, 1653. _The Golden Pomp is come._ Ovid, "Aurea Pompa venit" (as in _Hesperides_ 201). _To be with juice of cedar washed all over._ Horace's "linenda cedro," as in _Hesperides_. _Evadne._ See Note to _Hesperides_ 575. _The New Charon._ First printed in "Lachrymae Musarum. The tears of the Muses: exprest in Elegies written by divers persons of Nobility and Worth, upon the death of the most hopefull Henry, Lord Hastings.... Collected and set forth by R[ichard] B[rome]. _London_, 1649." This is the only poem which we know of Herrick's, written after 1648, and even in this Herrick uses materials already employed in "Charon and the Nightingale" in _Hesperides_. _Epitaph on the Tomb of Sir Edward Giles._ First printed by Dr. Grosart from the monument in Dean Prior Church. Sir Edward Giles was the occupant of Dean Court and the magnate of the parish. APPENDIX I. HERRICK'S POEMS IN WITTS RECREATIONS. Both Mr. Hazlitt and Dr. Grosart have slightly misrepresented the relation of _Hesperides_ to the anthology known as _Witts Recreations_: Mr. Hazlitt by mistakes as to their respective contents; Dr. Grosart (after a much more careful collation) by taking down the date of the wrong edition. To put matters straight four editions have to be examined:-- I. "Witts Recreations. Selected from the finest Fancies of Moderne Muses, With a Thousand out Landish Proverbs. _London. Printed for Humph. Blunden at ye Castle in Cornhill, 1640._ 8vo." This general title-page is engraved by W. Marshall. The Outlandish Proverbs were selected by George Herbert, and, like the first part, have a printed title-page of their own.
