Massinger, Maid of Honour, v. 1, near the beginning,— for my fine favourite, He may graze where he please."

Tomkis, Albumazar, i. 5, Dodsley, vol. vii. p. 123, the bunch of planets new found out, Hanging at th' end of my best perspicil, Let him bestow them where he please." Marmyon, Antiquary, i. 1 (it should be 2), Dodsley, vol. x. p. 19, by that time she 'll get strength To break this rotten hedge of matrimony [,] Spenser, Faery Queene, B. ii. C. vii. St. xvii. "Then if thee list my offred grace to use, Take what thou please of all this surplusage." 69 Please here may be better Elizabethan English, but pleaseth scarcely violates the metre. See S. V., art. ix.--Ed. VOL. I. 14 Fairfax's Tasso, B. xvii. St. lii., "Thou worthy art that their disdain and ire At thy commands these knights should both appease, Thou may'st employ both when and where thou please.' I conjecture, that it was the form with you, e.g., what you please, how you please—where the words might bear two different constructions-which gave rise to the error in question. XXXIII. INSTANCES of when, and similar particles—as also of who, whose, &c.—joined with the subjunctive of other verbs besides please. I have included under this head some other passages of analogous construction. Daniel, Sonnet xl.,— "Thou canst not die, whilst any zeal abound In feeling hearts, that can conceive these lines." Dekker and Middleton, Honest Whore, part 1, i. 1, near the end; the lines are in rhyme,— "If ever, whilst frail blood through my veins run, On woman's beams I throw affection, Let me not prosper, Heaven! Fletcher, Purple Island, B. i. St. xxii., "Oft therefore have I chid my tender Muse; 70 The edition of 1633 has I'gin, which seems the genuine reading. Again, however, appears in Southey's "British Poets," Lord Brooke, Mustapha, i. 2, p. 87, Careless in which he make the other's tomb." Drayton, Polyolbion, Song x., "This scarce the Muse had said, but Cluyd did quickly call Her great recourse, to come and guard her while she glide as in Daniel and Dekker and Middleton just above; for it can hardly, I think, be glide for glided, as rise for rose, light for lighted. (A false analogy, I suspect.) Can this be the syntax in Tarquin and Lucrece, St. cxcii.? "For they whose guilt within their bosoms lie, Dekker, Old Fortunatus, ed. 1831, p. 80, Virtue in clouds, and care not how she shine, Fletcher, &c., Bloody Brother, iii. 2, Moxon, vol. i. p. 530, col. 1, Song, init., "Come, Fortune's a whore, I care not who tell her." Cary, Inferno, C. v. 1. 21, if in point, "Look how thou enter here; beware in whom Thou place thy trust; let not the entrance broad (Under this head may be noticed, though not exactly similar, the following passage from Daniel's Hymen's Triumph, ii. 4, init. p. 238, ed. 1623,— "Here comes my long expected messenger, God grant the news he bring may make amends For his long stay.") and therefore is probably not a mere slip of Walker's pen. I must confess, I do not quite understand the passage with either reading.-Ed. Sir John Beaumont, Description of Love, ap. Clarke's "Love is like youth, he thirsts for age, And wish those pleasant hours again." Sidney, Arcadia, B. i. p. 82, 1. 36, is somewhat in point,- "They false and fearful do their hands undo, P. 94, 1. 31, "Away, ragg'd rams! care I what murrain kill ?" B. ii. p. 228, 1. 26,— "I con thee thank, to whom thy dogs be dear; if I prevail, you give your gifts to me; If you, on you I lay what in my office be." Defence of Poesy, p. 501,1.37,-"For suppose it be granted, that which I suppose with great reason may be denied, that the philosopher, in respect of his methodical proceeding, teach more perfectly than the poet, yet do I think," &c. Astrophel and Stella, Sonnet lxxiii. p. 545, "Love still a boy, and oft a wanton is, Kyd, Cornelia, i. 1, Dodsley, vol. ii. p. 247,— Shelley has, in one or two passages of his poems, adopted the same idiom in the case of when, not however through imitation of the old poets, but from a supposed analogy. Revolt of Islam, C. v. Hymn, St. 6, t Almighty Fear, The Fiend-God, when our charmed name he hear, C. vii. St. xxii.,— tr like those illusions clear and bright, Which dwell in lakes, when the red moon on high Tennyson, vol. ii. p. 193 (poλoyúτEρоc), "And wheresoe'er thou move, good luck Vol. 1, p. 224, (an instance ?)— "Make Knowledge circle with the winds; Before her to whatever sky Bear seed of men or growth of minds."
