l. 32. _Wee see, wee saw not what did move._ Chambers inserts a comma after 'we saw not', perhaps rightly; but the punctuation of the old editions gives a distinct enough sense, viz., 'We see now, that we did not see before the true source of our love. What we thought was due to bodily beauty, we perceive now to have its source in the soul.' Compare, 'But when I wakt, I saw, that I saw not.' _The Storme_, l. 37. l. 42. _Interinanimates two soules._ The MSS. give the word which the metre requires and which I have no doubt Donne used. The verb _inanimates_ occurs more than once in the sermons. 'One that quickens and inanimates all, and is the soul of the whole world.' _Sermons_ 80. 29. 289. 'That universall power which sustaines, and inanimates the whole world.' Ibid. 80. 31. 305. 'In these bowels, in the womb of this promise we lay foure thousand yeares; The blood with which we were fed then, was the blood of the Sacrifices, and the quickening which we had there, was an inanimation, by the often refreshing of this promise of that Messias in the Prophets.' Ibid. 80. 38. 381. 'Hee shews them Heaven, and God in Heaven, sanctifying all their Crosses in this World, inanimating all their worldly blessings.' Ibid. 80. 44. 436. PAGE =53=, l. 51. _They'are ours though they'are not wee, Wee are_ The line as given in all the MSS. is metrically, in the rhetorically effective position of the stresses, superior to the shortened form of the editions: They'are ours, though not wee, wee are l. 52. _the spheare._ The MSS. all give the singular, the editions the plural. Donne is not incapable of making a singular rhyme with a plural, or at any rate a form with 's' with one without: Then let us at these mimicke antiques jeast, Whose deepest projects, and egregious gests Are but dull Moralls of a game of Chests. _To S^r Henry Wotton_, p. 188, ll. 22-4. Still, I think 'spheare' is right. The bodies made one are the Sphere in which the two Intelligences meet and command. This suits all that followes: Wee owe them thanks, because they thus, &c. The Dutch translation runs: Het Hemel-rond zijn sy, Wy haren _Hemel-geest_. l. 55. _forces, sense_, This reading of all the MSS. is, I think, certainly right; the 'senses force' of the editions being an emendation. (1) It is the more difficult reading. It is inconceivable that an ordinary copyist would alter 'senses force' to 'forces sense', which, unless properly commaed, is apt to be read as 'forces' sense' and make nonsense. (2) It is more characteristic of Donne's thought. He is, with his usual scholastic precision, distinguishing the functions of soul and body. Perception is the function (the [Greek: dynamis], power or force) of soul: thy faire goodly soul, which doth Give this flesh power to taste joy. _Satyre III._
