149: Nullis amor est
medicabilis
herbis.
Robert Herrick
26.
153. _His wish. _ From Hor. _Epist. _ I. xviii. 111, 112:--
Sed satis est orare Jovem quae donat et aufert;
Det vitam, det opes; aequum mi animum ipse parabo:
where Herrick seems to have read _qui_ for _quae_.
157. _No Herbs have power to cure Love. _ Ovid, _Met. _ i. 523; id. _Her. _
v.
149: Nullis amor est medicabilis herbis. For the 'only one sovereign
salve' cp. Seneca, _Hippol. _ 1189: Mors amoris una sedamen.
159. _The Cruel Maid. _ Printed in _Witts Recreations_, 1650, with no
other variant than the mistaken omission of "how" in l. 7. I do not
think that it has been yet pointed out that the whole poem is a close
imitation of Theocritus, xxiii. 19-47:--
