deceiv'd by Acontius with an Apple I havâ— mention'd Eve's being so deluded by the Serpent Anâ— in several other places I have done the like wherâ— thâ—se fabulous stories came in my way as whoever haâ— the curiosity to enquire may find by comparing thâ— English with the Latine And in all this I think â— have rather done my Author a kindness than an injury But there is another thing for which some of the Aâ—thor's friends may perhaps call me to an account thâ— is for omitting several historical passages taken froâ— the Legend of Saints and Martyrologies And foâ— this I must return in my own behalf that it was noâ— out of any disregard to or prejudice against the Sainâ— and holy persons of whom the account is given nor thâ— I superstitiously disbelieve their stories however somâ— perhaps may with too much superstition credit them buâ— the true reasons of my leaving out the mention of them were these â—irst because I knew that great part oâ— â—e Readers would be strangers to their Histories and â—ust consequently be at a loss in understanding the Poems â—econdly because the truth of the relations is not so eviâ—ent as to render them unquestionable I thought them â—tter left out especially since they are only bare recitals â— such passages without any improvement of Fancy or â—ckiness of Thought upon them which could not injure â—e Book by being omitted whereas the inserting that â—art might prejudice some nice judgments against the â—hole And which was my third reason might be a â—inderance to the Impression But however they may censure me for this I hope â—ey will not take it ill that I have left out the Satyriâ—l part of the second Poem of the first Book wherein â—e Author reflects on the Monks and Fryars in their â—ariety of Habits and contests about them for indeed â— thought it something too uncharitable to have any room â— so Divine a Poem And now I am apologizing for â—missions let me not forget to acquaint the Reader that â— have left out some of the Author's sense particularly â— the eighth Poem of the second Book and in the second â—oem of the third Book In the first of which he recounts â—ll the several sorts of Perfumes he can think of and in â—he latter makes a long recital of the various kinds of Flowers both which rather tire than delight the Reaâ—er and he must be unkind if he does not thank me for â—mitting them But still it may be objected against me â—hat I have made bold with my Author in varying â—rom him and sometimes adding to him 'T is true I â—ave done both as in the third Poem of the first Book â—or instance where instead of mentioning Podalirius and Melampus and the other Physicians I have uâ— ten lines of my own and in the fifth Poem of the saâ— Book I have given an account of Mans Creation soâ—thing different from that in my Author both which all the other variations and additions may be known the English Reader by their being printed in the Italiâ— Character But whether I have impair'd the senâ— whether done for the better or the worse I must subâ— my self to the judgment of the Learned whose pardoâ— must beg for whatever is amiss and particularly if â— any thing I have injur'd the worthy Author to whom I aâ— willing to make all the reparation I am able And if â— have injur'd him in other additions I have done him â— kindness in that in the tenth Poem of the third Booâ— where he seems to apologize for Self-murther for whâ— I have there added takes away all possibility of mistakiâ— him who I am confident was too good a Christian â— design any thing of that kind and we find he sufficientâ— condemn'd all such attempts by this Verse O quoties quaesita fugae fuit ansa pudendae which I have render'd How oft' wou'd I attempt a shameful flight where the epithet he gives to slight proves that he haâ— no good opinion of it And this gives me the hint to sâ— something of his wishing for death in the eighth Poeâ— of the same Book which is not any way meant in favoâ— of Self-murther but a pious desire of the Soul to be freâ— from the captivity of the body that it might enjoy iâ— Saviour which is no more than what St. Paul tells â— of himself that he had a desire to be dissolved anâ— to be with Christ More might be urg'd in behalf of â— Author on this account but that he needs no apology â— shall have enough to do to excuse my self for 't is not â—mprobable I shall be accus'd of an indecorum as to Chroâ—ology in bringing in the glorious Saint Martyr King Charles I. with our late and present Monarchs for exâ—mples of the misfortune that oftentimes attends the â—reatest and best of men instead of Menelaus and Dioâ—ysius but I desire the Reader to give me leave to â—form him that I design my Translation to represent â—e Book as if but now first written and where then â—uld I produce more apt examples of the instability of â—ortune and the sufferings of good men than those â—rinces were whose Unhappiness like their Excellenâ—es had no parallel I am sure They must be more suâ—ble than Dionysius whose tyranny made him unpitied â— his misery And having told my Reader my design â— hope he will not blame me for changing the 7th of May which I suppose was my Author's Birth-day to the 7th of July which was my own and applying to my â—lf all that part of the eighth Poem in the third Book â—nd then I am confident I shall not be condemn'd on any and for that digression in the fourteenth Poem of the â—me Book wherein I conceive the joyful reception of his â—te Majesty's Soul in Heaven and the great satisfactiâ— which his present Majesty's succession to the Crown â—ought to those Coelestial Spirits who being lovers of â—ight and Equity must be exceedingly pleas'd to have â—s undoubted Title take place for that they are affectâ— with some transactions here below is evident from â—r Saviour's words that there is joy in Heaven â—ong the Angels over sinners that repent and â—hy not then over the Just that are rewarded I would not willingly tire my Reader with a long Pâ—face and therefore shall only add a word or two in behâ— both of my Author and my self 'T is true the Title-pâ— in the Latine declares him of the Society of Jesus â— his Book shews nothing either of his Order or particuâ— Opinion in Religion but that he is an excellent Christâ— in the main And indeed he seems to me to have desigâ—edly avoided all occasion of offence to his Readers of â— different judgment for tho in the fourteenth Poem of â— first Book he had a fair opportunity of mentioning Pâ—gatory he wholly declines it and takes no notice at â— of such a place And in the twelfth Poem of the thâ— Book he says nothing of
