Hora kan stephanoisin Hopos prepei ta leuka Rhodois krin' emplakenta.} 529. _As thou deserv'st be proud._ Cp. Hor. III. _Od._ xxx. 14:-- Sume superbiam Quaesitam meritis et mihi Delphica Lauro cinge volens, Melpomene, comam. 534. _To Electra._ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1650, where it is entitled _To Julia_. 536. _Ill Government.... When kings obey_, etc. From Seneca, _Octav._ 581:-- Male imperatur, cum regit vulgus duces. 545. _To his Worthy Kinsman, Mr. Stephen Soame_ (the son or, less probably, the brother of Sir Thomas Soame): _One of my righteous tribe_. Cp. Note to 496. 547. _Great spirits never with their bodies die._ Tacit. _Agric._ 46:--"Si quis piorum manibus locus, si, ut sapientibus placet, non cum corpore extinguuntur magnae animae". 554. _Die thou canst not all._ Hor. IV. _Od._ xxx. 6,7. 556. _The Fairies._ Cp. the old ballad of _Robin Goodfellow_:-- "When house or hearth doth sluttish lie, I pinch the maids both black and blue"; and Ben Jonson's _Entertainment at Althorpe_, etc. 557. _M. John Weare, Councellour._ Probably the same as "the much-lamented Mr. J. Warr" of 134. _Law is to give to every one his own._ Cicero, _De Fin._ v.: Animi affectio suum cuique tribuens Justitia dicitur. 564. _His Kinswoman, Bridget Herrick_, eldest daughter of his brother Nicholas. 565. _The Wanton Satyr._ See Sir E. Dyer's _The Shepherd's Conceit of Prometheus_:-- "Prometheus, when first from heaven high He brought down fire, ere then on earth not seen, Fond of delight, a Satyr standing by Gave it a kiss, as it like sweet had been. ... ... ... ... The difference is--the Satyr's lips, my heart, He for a time, I evermore, have smart." So _Euphues_: "Satirus not knowing what fire was would needs embrace it and was burnt;" and Sir John Davies, _False and True Knowledge_. Transcriber's Endnotes Numeration Errors in the Hesperides: Errors in the numbering system, despite the corrections mentioned in the NOTE TO SECOND EDITION, still exist in the text. A clear example is shown by _569. UPON ELECTRA'S TEARS_ ending Vol. I, whilst Vol. II begins with _569. A HYMN TO THE GRACES_.
