[92] The construction is obscure just from the insertion of the to before breathe, where it ought not to be after the verb hear. The poet does not mean that he delights to hear that voice more than to breathe gentle airs, but more than to hear gentle airs (to) breathe. To hear, understood, governs all the infinitives that follow; among the rest, the winds (to) chide.
[93] Rut is used for the sound of the tide in Cheshire. (See Halliwell's Dictionary.) Does rutty mean roaring? or does it describe the deep, rugged shores of the Jordan?
[94] A monosyllable, contracted afterwards into bloom.
[95] Willows.
[96] Groom originally means just a man. It was a word much used when pastoral poetry was the fashion. Spenser has herd-grooms in his Shepherd's Calendar. This last is what it means here: shepherds.
[97] Obtain, save.
[98] Equivalent to "What are those hands of yours for?"
[99] He was but thirty-nine when he died.
[100] To rhyme with pray in the second line.
[101] Bunch of flowers. He was thinking of Aaron's rod, perhaps.
