Introduction, by the American Editor.
[2927] Alluding to Isa. lviii. 6: “Loose the bands of wickedness.”
[2929] A lax quotation, perhaps, of the next clause in the same verse: “Break every yoke.”
[2930] Isa. lviii. 7, slightly changed from the second to the third person.
[2937] Ps. xxiv. 4, 5. He has slightly misquoted the passage.
[2938] Ps. xxxiii. 18, 19, slightly altered.
[2941] Ps. xxxiv. 20, modified.
[2943] Præmissa.
[2944] Sepiæ isti. Pliny, in his Nat. Hist. ix. 29, says: “The males of the cuttles kind are spotted with sundry colours more dark and blackish, yes, and more firme and steady, than the female. If the female be smitted with the trout-speare, they will come to succour her; but she again is not so kind to them: for if the male be stricken, she will not stand to it, but runs away. But both of them, if they perceive that they be taken in such streights that they cannot escape, shed from them a certain black humor like to ink; and when the water therewith is troubled and made duskish, therein they hide themselves, and are no more seen” (Holland’s Translation, p. 250). Our epithet “saucy cuttle” comes from Shakespeare, 2 Henry iv 2, 4, where, however, the word seems employed in a different sense.
[2946] Relucentem, “rekindled” by the confutation.
[2947] Vasa = the jewels and the raiment mentioned in Ex. iii. 22.
