[13:1.] On Mr. Hall’s Essays (p. 21).
In Stanley, 1647: ‘To Mr. I. H. on his Essays.’
[13:2.] P. 21, line 4. Here ends the prologue-like poem, in the edition of 1647. Then, as a separate piece on another page, under a new title, ‘To Mr. I. H.,’ follow these lines:
‘I’ll not commend thee; for thou hast outgrown
The reach of all men’s praises but thine own.
Encomiums to their full objects are exact:
To praise, and not at full, is to detract.
And with most justice,’ etc.
‘I’ll not commend thee; for thou hast outgrown
The reach of all men’s praises but thine own.
Encomiums to their full objects are exact:
To praise, and not at full, is to detract.
And with most justice,’ etc.
The rest as in the present edition. ‘Full,’ in the third line just quoted, is certainly a misprint, crept up from the line below.
[13:3.] P. 21, line 13. 1647 has:
‘The pride of others’ autumns poor appears.’
