Congrats, dude! I love Herbert--enjoyed the opportunity to stick next to Donne in my Intro to Poetry course last fall. So few opportunities to reach back into a time period prior to the Victorians . . .
"I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
