[5] That admirable term "relenting" might probably be furnished by Ogilby at the beginning of the first Georgic:
And harder glebe relents with vernal winds.—Wakefield.
[6] Dryden's Flower and Leaf:

For love had never entered in my breast.
[7] Morning dreams were thought the most significant. Thus Dryden, in his version of the Tale of the Nun's Priest:
Believe me, madam, morning dreams foreshow
Th' events of things, and future weal or woe.
[8] Cowley, in his Complaint:
In a deep vision's intellectual scene;
and Mrs. Singer's Vision:
No wild uncouth chimeras intervene
To break the perfect intellectual scene.—Wakefield.
