[40] Or, "a kiss which is to passion as dry combustious matter is to fire," Shakesp. ib. 1162. [41] Or, "is namesake of the love within the soul of lovers."

I. iii. 8-14. Then Charmides: Oh!

Plat. "Crit." 46 D; "Hell." IV. iv. 17; Arist. "Birds," 1245. [44] "Grammarian's." Plat. "Protag." 312 B; 326 D; Dem. 315. 8. [45] Like Hermia and Helena, "Mids. N. D." iii. 2. 208. |
