"Good faith, troth is they are all apes and gulls, Vile imitating spirits, dry _heathy_ turfs." Page 60, line 256. Dr. Nicholson proposes "Her _own_ heels, God knows, _are not_ half so light"--a good emendation. Page 239, line 21. "Distilled oxpith," &c.--We have a similar list of provocatives in John Mason's _Turk_, first published in 1610, but written some years previously:-- "Here is a compound of Cantharides, diositerion, _marrow of an ox_, _hairs of a lion_, stones of a goat, _cock-sparrows' brains_, and such like." (_Sig. F. 3, verso._) Page 311, lines 88, 89. "Life is a frost ... vanity."--I have discovered that these lines are from an epigram in Thomas Bastard's _Chrestoleros_, 1598, sig. H. I quote the epigram in full, as it is of striking solemnity:-- "When I behold with deep astonishment To famous Westminster how there resort, Living in brass or stony monument, The princes and the worthies of all sort, Do not I see reform'd nobility Without contempt or pride or ostentation? And look upon offenceless majesty Naked of pomp or earthly domination? And how a play-game of a painted stone Contents the quiet now and silent sprites Whom all the world, which late they stood upon, Could not content nor squench [_sic_] their appetites? _Life is a frost of cold felicity And death the thaw of all our vanity._" Vol. ii. page 355, line 274. Mr. P. A. Daniel suggests that for "others' fate" we should read "adverse fate." Vol. iii. page 51, lines 41-2. "_But a little higher, but a little higher_," &c.--These lines are from a song of Campion, beginning-- "Mistress, since you so much desire To know the place of Cupid's fire," &c. No. xvi. in Campion and Rosseter's _Book of Airs_, 1601. They occur again in Campion's _Fourth Book of Airs_, No. xxii. Page 243, line 247. "Like Mycerinus," &c.--I notice that a similar emendation is made, in a seventeenth century hand, in the margin of one of Dyce's copies at South Kensington. My emendation was printed before I discovered that it had been anticipated. ERRATA. VOL. I. Page 64, line 48, for _Tyrrian_ read _Tyrian_. Page 120, note 2, for _Grumean_ read _Grumeau_. Page 159, note 1, for "The star-led wisards _hasten_" read "The star-led wisards _haste_."
