ll. 43-50. The punctuation of these lines requires attention. That of the editions, which Chambers follows, arranges them thus: Come forth, come forth, and as one glorious flame Meeting Another growes the same, So meet thy Fredericke, and so To an unseparable union goe, Since separation Falls not on such things as are infinite, Nor things which are but one, can disunite. You'are twice inseparable, great, and one. In this it will be seen that the clause 'Since separation ... can disunite' is attached to the _previous_ verb. It gives the reason why they should 'go to an unseparable union'. In that which I have adopted, which is that of several good MSS., the clause 'Since separation ... can disunite' goes with what _follows_, explains 'You are twice inseparable, great, and one.' This is obviously right. My attention was first called to this emendation by the punctuation of the Grolier Club editor, who changes the comma after 'goe' (l. 46) to a semicolon. l. 46. _To an unseparable union growe._ I have adopted 'growe' from the MSS. in place of 'goe' from the editions. The former are unanimous with the strange exception of _Lec_. This MS., which in several respects seems to be most like that from which _1633_ was printed, varies here from its fellows _D_ and _H49_, probably for the same reason that the editor of _1633_ did, because he did not quite understand the phrase 'growe to' as used here, and 'goe' follows later. But it is unlikely that 'goe' would have been changed to 'growe', and To an unseparable union growe is, I think, preferable, because (1) both the words used in l. 44 are thus echoed. _Meeting_ Another, _growes_ the same, So _meet_ thy Fredericke, and so To an unseparable union _growe_. (2) 'To an unseparable union growe', meaning 'Become inseparably incorporated with one another', is a slightly violent but not unnatural application of the phrase 'grow to' so common in Elizabethan English: 'I grow to you, and our parting is a tortured body.' _All's Well that Ends Well_, II. i. 36. First let our eyes be rivited quite through Our turning brains, and both our lips grow to. Donne, _Elegie XII_, 57-8. l. 56. The 'or' of the MSS. must, I think, be right. 'O Bishop Valentine' does not make good sense. Chambers's ingenious emendation of _1669_, by which he connects 'of Bishop Valentine' with 'one way left', lacks support. Bishop Valentine has paired them; the Bishop in church has united them; the consummation is their own act. PAGE =131=. ECCLOGUE. 1613. _December_ 26, &c.
