"Saint _Tit_, Saint _Nit_, Saint _Is_," etc. It should be noted that "Tit and Nit" occur with "Wap and Win" and other obviously made-up names, in Drayton's _Nymphidia_. 229. _Upon Cupid._ Taken from Anacreon, 5 [59]. {Stephos plekon poth' heuron en tois rhodois Erota; kai ton pteron kataschon ebaptis' eis ton oinon; labon d' epinon auton, kai nyn eso melon mou pteroisi gargalizei.} 234. _Care will make a face._ Ovid, _Ar. Am._ iii. 105: Cura dabit faciem, facies neglecta peribit. 235. _Upon Himself._ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1654, under the title: _On an old Batchelor_, and with the variants, _married_ for _wedded_, l. 3, _one_ for _a_ in l. 4, and _Rather than mend me, blind me quite_ in l. 6. 238. _To the Rose._ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1654, with the variants _peevish_ for _flowing_ in l. 4, _say, if she frets, that I have bonds_ in l. 6, _that can tame although not kill_ in l. 10, and _now_ for _thus_ in l. 11. The opening couplet is from Martial, VII. lxxxix.:-- I, felix rosa, mollibusque sertis Nostri cinge comas Apollinaris. 241. _Upon a painted Gentlewoman._ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1650, under the title, _On a painted madame_. 250. _Mildmay, Earl of Westmoreland._ See Note to 112. According to the date of the earl's succession, this poem must have been written after 1628. 253. _He that will not love_, etc. Ovid, _Rem. Am._ 15, 16:-- Si quis male fert indignae regna puellae, Ne pereat nostrae sentiat artis opem. _How she is her own least part._ _Ib._ 344: Pars minima est ipsa puella sui, quoted by Bacon, Burton, Lyly, and Montaigne. Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1654, with the variants, '_freezing_ colds and _fiery_ heats,' and 'and how she is _in every_ part'. 256. _Had Lesbia_, etc. See Catullus, _Carm_. iii. 260. _How violets came blue._ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1654, as _How the violets came blue_. The first two lines read:-- "The violets, as poets tell, With Venus wrangling went". Other variants are _did_ for _sho'd_ in l. 3; _Girl_ for _Girls_; _you_ for _ye_; _do_ for _dare_. 264. _That verse_, etc. Herrick repeats this assurance in a different context in the second of his _Noble Numbers_, _His Prayer for Absolution_. 269. _The Gods to Kings the judgment give to sway._ From Tacitus, _Ann._ vi. 8 (M. Terentius to Tiberius): Tibi summum rerum judicium dii dedere; nobis obsequi
