Note 1. Compare the following in the Euphues, 1580, of Lyly: “For as by Basill the Scorpion is engendred, and by means of the same pest destroyed: so love, which by time and fancy is bred in an idle head, is by time and fancie banished from the heart: or as the Salamander which being a long space nourished in the fire, at the last quencheth it, so affection, having taking hold of the fancie, and living as it were in the mind of the lover, in tract of time altereth and changeth the heat, and turneth it to chilliness.” [back]
