Crashaw very unfortunately indeed, or heu, heu, as Mr. Philips fays, translated only one bodk. It shall be my care to recover the original if I can find it, and lay the sequel before the reader in a prose translation. Of the other poems, I think Mr. Philips speaks rather too highly, the wishes, but for an indelicate expression or two, are very good j and the charitas nimia contains somevery good lines, as, * Alas, sweet Lord what wer't to thee, If there were no such worms as we ? Heav'n ne'erthelefs, still Heav'n would bej Should mankind dwell In the deep hell, What have his wees to do with thee ? ' Let him go weep O'er his own wounds: Seraphims will not sleep, Nor Spheres let fall their faithful rounds. ' Still would the youthful spirits sing, And still thy spacious palace ring; Still would those beauteous ministers of light Burn all as bright, And bow their flaming heads before thee, Still thrones and dominations would adore thee.' Still would those ever-wakeful sons of fire, Keep warm thy praise Both nights and days, And teach thy Tov'd name to their noble lyre.'
