All saw, all praised her, all adored,
But no one ever dared to love."
The Golden Ass of Apuleius; in English verse, entitled Cupid and Psyche, by Hudson Gurney, 1799.]
[190] [King John, act iv. sc. 2, line 11.]
[191] {166} ["Richard Crashaw (died 1650), the friend of Cowley, was honoured," says Warton, "with the praise of Pope; who both read his poems and borrowed from them. After he was ejected from his Fellowship at Peterhouse for denying the covenant, he turned Roman Catholic, and died canon of the church at Loretto." Cowley sang his In Memoriam—
"Angels (they say) brought the famed Chappel there;
And bore the sacred Load in Triumph through the air:—
'T is surer much they brought thee there, and They,
And Thou, their charge, went singing all the way."
