In common, however, with the other\nproductions of this illustrious champion of the Reformation, it\nhas an additional and most attractive feature; one, indeed, which,\nless or more, characterises all the literary achievements of the\ngigantic geniuses of the Elizabethan period, the \"very dust of\nwhose writings is gold.\"[1] The \"Defense\" abounds with _proverbial\nfolk-lore_ of the rarest sort; and this is so skilfully and\nappositely introduced, that the subject-matter presents itself to\nthe reader's mind rather as a corollary, naturally deduced from a\nself-evident proposition--for who would think for a moment of\nquestioning the truth of what has the semblance of a popular\nadage?[2]--than as a nicely managed argument, which receives no\nother help from the latter than that of illustration, employed for\nthe simple and single purpose, not of strengthening such argument,\nbut of rendering it comprehensible by the \"meanest capacities.\"\n\n  [Footnote 1: Bentley, of Bp. Pearson, in _Dissert. on Phalaris._]\n\n  [Footnote 2: I have somewhere met with an amusing instance of\n  this. It seems that Dean Swift, with a party of friends, were\n  invited to view the garden of a gentleman, the walls of which were\n  laden with peaches of a most tempting ripeness, but which they\n  were strictly forbidden to touch. This injunction was followed,\n  until Swift ('twas like him) at length put forth his hand and\n  plucked, at the same time observing, with all becoming gravity,\n  \"As my deeply venerated grandmother used to say,\n\n      'Never fail to pluck a peach,\n      Whene'er you find one in your reach.'\"\n\n  'Twas enough. The authority of the adage was sufficient to\n  overrule every other obligation; and the rest of the company, much\n  to the disgust of the master of the garden, immediately proceeded,\n  with infinite gusto, to follow the Dean's example, not for a\n  moment doubting the propriety of the act. \"The court awards it,\n  and the law doth give it.\"]\n\nWith this little bit of criticism, let me take the liberty of\nrecommending to such of your readers, and I trust they are many, who\nseek for knowledge and wisdom in the richly-stored tomes, especially of\nthe divines, whose appearance imparted a further glory to the days of\nour \"good queen Bess,\" to note down the \"wise saws and modern instances\"\nwhich lie scattered along their glowing periods, like \"dew-drops on the\nflow'ry lawn,\" for the purpose of transferring them to your very\nappropriate pages.\n\nThe remark of our old lexicographer, Florio[3], that \"daily both new\nwords are invented, and books still found that make a new supply of\nold,\" may, in its latter part, very fitly be applied to our proverbial\nphilosophy; for, great as is the light which has already been thrown\nupon the subject, it must be admitted that a more _systematic_\nexamination than they have yet received, of the works of the Elizabethan\nwriters, would elucidate it to an extent that can scarcely be\nappreciated.\n\n  [Footnote 3: _Worlde of Wordes_, Ital. and Eng. Pr. 1598.]\n\nWith these observations I offer you my little string of pearls, under\nthe hope that row after row may be added to it.\n\n  \"1. A contentious man wil never lacke wordes.\n\n  2.

Some of them I have not elsewhere met with, and others present\n_vari\u00e6 lectiones_ of an interesting character. They are all delivered in\na quaint simplicity of style, which admirably illustrates the general\ntone of thought and language of the period.\n\n    COWGILL.\n\n\nPARAPHRASE ON THE 137TH PSALM BY CHURCHILL.\n\nA paraphrase of the 137th psalm by Charles Churchill may, perhaps, be\ndeemed not unworthy of a place amongst your Notes. It was originally\nsent to Mrs. Baily of Cadbury, who had remonstrated with him on his\ndevoting his pen exclusively to satire. That lady gave them to my\nmaternal grandfather. Three lines of the last verse are lost.\n\n    R. C. H.

AND LII.\n\n      LI.\n\n      \"Appear'dst thou not to Paris in this guise?\n      Or to more deeply blest Anchises? or,\n      In all thy perfect goddess-ship, when lies\n      Before thee thy own vanquished Lord of War?\n      And gazing in thy face as toward a star\n      Laid on thy lap, his eyes to thee upturn,\n      Feeding on thy sweet cheek![4] while thy lips are\n      With lava kisses melting while they burn,\n      Showered on his eyelids, brow, and mouth, as from an urn!\n\n      LII.\n\n      Glowing, and circumfused in speechless love,\n      Their full divinity inadequate\n      That feeling to express, or to improve,\n      The gods become as mortals, and man's fate\n      Has moments like their brightest ----\" &c. &c.\n\n  [Footnote 4: To these beautiful and glowing lines the author has\n  appended the following:\n\n\n            \"[Greek: Ophthalmous estian.]\"\n      \"Atque oculos pascat uterque suos.\"\n\n      OVID. _Amor._ lib. iii.]\n\nIt seems to me that the noble poet has condescended to avail himself of\na little _ruse_ in referring to this passage of Ovid. It would have been\nperhaps more honest to have referred his readers to those magnificent\nlines in the opening address to Venus, by Lucretius, \"De Rerum Natur\u00e2,\"\nbeginning,--\n\n      \"\u00c6neadum genitrix, hominum div\u00f4mque voluptas,\n      Alma Venus!\" &c.\n\nI subjoin the verses which Lord Byron _really_ had in mind when he wrote\nthe foregoing stanzas:\n\n      \"Nam tu sola potes tranquill\u00e2 pace juvare\n      Mortaleis: quoniam belli fera moenera Mavors\n      Armipotens regit, _in gremium_ qui s\u00e6pe _tuum se_\n      Rejieit, \u00e6terno devictus volnere Amoris:\n      Atque _ita, suspiciens_ tereti cervice reposta\n      _Pascit amore avidos, inhians in te, Dea, visus;_\n      Eque tuo pendet resupini spiritus ore.\n      Hunc tu, Diva, tuo recubantem corpore sancto\n      _Circumfusa super_, suaveis ex ore loquelas\n      Funde, petens placidam Romanis, incluta, pacem.\"\n\nSurely if the author of _Childe Harold_ were indebted to _any_ ancient\npoet for some ideas embodied in the lines cited, it was to Lucretius and\nnot to Ovid that he should have owned the obligation.\n\n    A BORDERER.\n\n\nMinor Notes.\n\n_On the Word \"raised\" as used by the Americans._--An American, in answer\nto an inquiry as to the place of his birth, says, \"I was _raised_ in New\nYork,\" &c. Was it ever an English phrase? And if so, by what English\nwriter of celebrity was it ever used? Dr. Franklin, in a letter to John\nAlleyne, Esq., Aug. 9, 1768, says:\n\n  \"By these early marriages we are blest with more children; and\n  from the mode among us, founded in nature, of every mother\n  suckling and nursing her own child, more of them are _raised_.\"\n\n    JAMES CORNISH.\n\n_Contradiction: D'Israeli and Hume._--\n\n  \"Rousseau was remarkably trite in conversation.\"\n\n  _Essay on Literary Character_, vol. i. p. 213.\n\n  \"Rousseau, in conversation, kindles often to a degree of heat\n  which looks like inspiration.\"\n\nQuoted by D'Israeli in the same vol., p. 230.\n\n    JAMES CORNISH.\n\n_A Ship's Berth._--Compilers of Dictionaries have attempted to show, but\nI think without success, that this word has been derived from one of the\nmeanings of the verb _to bear_. I conjecture that it has been derived\nfrom the Welsh word _porth_, a port or harbour. This word is under\ncertain circumstances written _borth_, according to the rules of Welsh\ngrammar. A ship's place in harbour (_borth_) is her _berth_. A sailor's\nplace in his ship is his _berth_.\n\n    S. S. S. (2)\n\n\n\n\nQueries.\n\n\nJOHN A KENT AND JOHN A CUMBER.\n\nI am much obliged to you, Mr. Editor, for giving additional circulation\nto my inquiry (through the medium of the _Athen\u00e6um_ of the 19th ult.)\nregarding the two ancient popular wizards, John a Kent and John a\nCumber. I was aware, from a note received some time ago from my friend\nthe Rev. John Webb of Tretire, that there are various current traditions\nin Monmouthshire, and that Coxe's history of that county contains some\ninformation regarding one of these worthies. That fact has since been\nrepeated to me by a gentleman of Newport, who wrote in consequence of\nwhat appeared in the _Athen\u00e6um_, and whose name I do not know that I am\nat liberty to mention. I may, however, take this opportunity of thanking\nhim, as well as the transmitter of the curious particulars printed in\nthe _Athen\u00e6um_ of Saturday last.\n\nOne point I wish to ascertain is, whence John a Kent derived his\nappellation? This question has not been at all answered. Has his name\nany connexion, and what, with the village of Kentchurch, in\nMonmouthshire; and why was the place called Kentchurch? To what saint is\nthe church dedicated? and has the name of that church anything to do\nwith the name of the saint? Anthony Munday (or Mundy), in his MS. play\n(now in my hands by the favour of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, and by the kind\ninterposition of Sir F. Madden), does not give the slightest clue to\nthe \"birth, parentage, and education\" of John a Kent. As to John a\nCumber, all we learn is, that he was a Scottish conjuror, employed by a\nnobleman of the same country to counteract the proceedings of John a\nKent, who is represented as in the service of Sir Gosselin Denville, a\nperson who appears, from what Munday says, to have had power and\ninfluence in South Wales.\n\nNow, the name of Sir Gosselin Denville itself suggests a Query; because\nI find in Johnson's _Lives of Highwayman, &c.,_ fol. 1734, p. 15. (I do\nnot of course refer to it as a book of any authority), that there was a\ncelebrated collector of tribute from travellers who bore that name and\nrank. He, however, came from Yorkshire, and lived (according to the\nnarrative of Johnson, who had it most likely from Capt. A. Smith, whose\nwork I have not at hand) as long ago as the reign of Edward II. Let me\nask, therefore, whether there exist any tidings respecting such a person\nas a native of Wales, and as the \"master\" (I use Munday's word) of John\na Kent?\n\nBut this is not the principal object of my present communication, which\nrelates to one of the heroines of Munday's drama--a daughter of\nLlewellin, Prince of North Wales. To her the name of Sidanen is given,\nand she is constantly spoken of as \"the fair Sidanen,\" with the\nadditional information, in one place, that \"sonnets\" had been written in\nher praise. Every person who sends a Query must plead ignorance, and\nmine may be great as regards Welsh poetry, when I inquire, who was\nSidanen, and where has she been celebrated? By the second volume of\n_Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company_ (printed for\nthe Shakspeare Society), it is evident that she was well known about the\nmiddle of the reign of Elizabeth, for on p. 94. I read the following\nentry:--\n\n      \"xiii Augusti [1580]\n\n  \"Rich. Jones. Rd. of him for printinge a ballat of brittishe\n  Sidanen, applied by a courtier to the praise of the Queen.\"\n\nBritish Sidanen probably meant Sidanen of Ancient Britain, or Wales, to\nwhom some unnamed and adulatory courtier had compared Queen Elizabeth. I\nfancied also that I recollected, in Warner's _Albion's England_, some\nallusion to Elizabeth under the name of Sidanen, but I cannot at present\nfind it.\n\nAs I have my pen in hand, may I add another word, quite upon a different\nsubject: it is upon the _nimium_ (pardon the word) _vexata questio_\nabout _esile_, as it is spelt in the first and second folios of\n_Hamlet_. Have any of your correspondents, from MR. SINGER to MR.\nCAMPKIN, with all their learning and ingenuity, been able at all to\nsettle the point? Surely, then, I cannot be blamed for not taking upon\nme dogmatically to decide it eight years ago. I stated the two positions\nassumed by adverse commentators, and what more could I do? What more\nhave your friends done? The principle I went upon was to make my notes\nas short as possible; and after pages on pages have been employed in\nyour miscellany, it seems, in my humble judgment, that the case is not\none jot altered. _Esile_ may still either mean vinegar (eyesel) or the\nriver Eisell.\n\n    J. PAYNE COLLIER.\n\n\nSWEARING ON THE HORNS AT HIGHGATE.\n\nCan any of your readers give a satisfactory explanation of what Lord\nByron, in the LXXth stanza of the first canto of _Childe Harold's\nPilgrimage_, calls the _worship of the solemn horn_? The whole stanza is\nas follows:\n\n      \"Some o'er thy Thamis row the ribbon'd fair,\n      Others along the safer turnpike fly;\n      Some Richmond Hill ascend, some send to Ware,\n      And many to the steep of Highgate hie.\n      Ask ye, Boeotian shades! the reason why? (15)\n      'Tis to the worship of the solemn Horn,\n      Grasp'd in the holy hand of mystery,\n      In whose dread name both men and maids are sworn,\n      And consecrate the oath with draught and dance till morn!\"\n\nAnd the note (15) merely refers to the poet's writing from Thebes, the\ncapital of Boeotia.\n\nI have a faint recollection of a circumstance which occurred on a\njourney from York to town some forty years ago, and which I almost fancy\nmay throw some distant light on Lord B.'s horn. Among the inside\npassengers by the stage was a middle-aged Yorkshireman, apparently a\nsmall farmer, who kept the rest in a continual titter with his account\nof various personal adventures, which he related in a style of quaint\nand ludicrous simplicity; and as, in the course of conversation, it\nappeared that he had never visited the metropolis before, it was\nsuggested by a couple of wags, that on the arrival of the coach at\nHighgate he should be invited \"to make himself free of the Horns.\"\nAccordingly, when in due time the vehicle halted at the above-mentioned\nplace, and the inside passengers, with the exception of York, had\nquitted it, an ostler, having received his cue, appeared at the door\nwith a pole, to which we attached a pair of gilded ram's horns; and\ninquired if the \"genelman\" from Yorkshire, who was on his first visit to\nLondon, wished to obtain his freedom by swearing on the horns, or would\nrather forego the ceremony by a payment of the customary fee. The\nYorkshireman was evidently taken aback by the unexpected question; but,\nafter a moment's hesitation, intimated that he preferred the horns to\nforking out the cash. He was thereupon directed with mock solemnity to\nplace his right hand upon the horns, and to follow the ostler in\nreciting a ridiculous formula; which, if I remember right, consisted in\nhis vowing, under certain penalties, to prefer wine to water, roast beef\nand ale to a dry crust and water gruel, the daughter to the mother, the\nsister to the brother, laughing to crying, and songs and glees to\nrequiems and psalms, &c.\n\nCan you then oblige me with any information respecting the worship of\nthe solemn horn alluded to by Lord Byron; and, secondly, with any\naccount respecting the solemn farce of swearing in strangers on the\nhorns when reaching Highgate on their first visit to the metropolis,\nwhich farce I presume has long since been exploded by the introduction\nof the railway.\n\n    KEWENSIS.\n\n  [Moore, in his edition of Byron's _Works_, has the following note\n  on this passage:--\"Lord Byron alludes to a ridiculous custom which\n  formerly prevailed at the public-houses in Highgate, of\n  administering a burlesque oath to all travellers of the middling\n  rank who stopped there. The party was sworn on a pair of horns,\n  fastened, 'never to kiss the maid when he could kiss the mistress;\n  never to eat brown bread when he could get white; never to drink\n  small beer when he could get strong;' with many other injunctions\n  of the like kind, to all which was added the saving clause,\n  'unless you like it best.'\" Our correspondent, W. S. GIBSON, Esq.,\n  in his _Prize Essay on the History and Antiquities of Highgate_,\n  has preserved some curious notices of this burlesque oath. He\n  says, \"All attempts to trace the once prevalent, but now obsolete,\n  custom of 'swearing at Highgate' to any really probable source\n  have proved unavailing, and the custom has fallen into disuse. The\n  early identity of the site of the present hamlet with the ancient\n  forest, and the vicinity of Highgate to a park or chase, naturally\n  suggests the possible connexion of these trophies with huntsmen\n  and their horns; and it is not difficult to perceive that the\n  spoils and emblems of the chase, and the hunter's joyous horn, may\n  in time have acquired the character of household gods, and at\n  length, become like the sword of the warrior, a sacred emblem upon\n  which vows were taken, and the most binding engagements made. It\n  is, however, less difficult to imagine the reality of such an\n  origin, than to account for the strange degeneracy exhibited in\n  the modern aspect of the custom. 'Swearing on the horns' was an\n  observance at all events more than a century old; for a song which\n  embodied a close paraphrase of the oath, according to the best\n  authorised version yet extant, was introduced in a London\n  pantomime at the Haymarket Theatre in the year 1742.\"]\n\n\nMinor Queries.\n\n42. _Proverb of James I._--In the _Miscellaneous State Papers_\n(published 1778), vol. i. p. 462., we find Steenie (the Duke of\nBuckingham) writing to his royal master as follows:--\n\n  \"Give my leave here to use your own proverb,--_For this the devil\n  cone me no thanks._\"\n\nAt the risk of being thought very dull, I ask, what is _cone_, and what\nis the meaning of the proverb?

VINCENT\n\n49. _Queen Brun\u00e9haut._--I read in a French book of travels that the\nabbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen\nBrun\u00e9haut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:\n\n      \"Ci-g\u00eet la Reine Brun\u00e9haut,\n      A qui le Saint Pape Gregoire\n      Donna des \u00e9loges de gloire,\n      Qui mettent sa vertu bien haut.\n      Sa pi\u00e9t\u00e9 pour les saints myst\u00e8res\n      Lui fit fonder trois monast\u00e8res,\n      Sous la r\u00e8gle de Saint Beno\u00eet:\n      Saint Martin, Saint Jean, Saint Andoche,\n      Sont trois saints lieux o\u00f9 l'on conno\u00eet\n      Qu'elle est exempte de reproche.\"\n\n1. Who was the Saint Gregory mentioned in this inscription? I believe\nthere can be little doubt that it was Pope Gregory I., commonly known as\nGregory the Great, and the cotemporary of Queen Brun\u00e9haut. The only\nother Pope of that name, that has been canonized, is Gregory VII., the\nfamous Hildebrand; but as his canonization did not take place till the\nclose of the last century (700 years after his death), an inscription,\nwhich, from its obsolete rhymes of \"Beno\u00eet\" and \"conno\u00eet,\" bears\ninternal evidence of having been made in the sixteenth or seventeenth\ncentury, could not have applied to him the epithet _Saint_.\n\n2. Brun\u00e9haut having been one of the most profligate queens that ever sat\nupon a throne, and Gregory the Great one of the most virtuous Popes that\nhave shed lustre on the tiara, a second Query presents itself:--Is it\npossible that such a Pope could have degraded himself and his office by\neulogising such a queen? The bare idea is at variance with the known\ncharacter of that Pope; and the imputation, if substantiated, would\nmaterially detract from his established reputation for piety and wisdom.\n\n3. Is there any passage in the writings of Gregory the Great that can be\ncited in support of the allegations of this inscription?\n\n    HENRY H. BREEN.\n\n  St. Lucia, June, 1851.\n\n50. _Sculptured Stones in the North of Scotland._--Some time ago Patrick\nChalmers, Esq., of Auldbar, in the county of Forfar, obtained drawings\nof all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them lithographed\nfor the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable\nattention among historical students in this country as well as abroad,\nand certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with\nother similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the\ncountry. In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these\nobelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people, or\nthe hardness of the granite, are much less elaborate than those in\nAngus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty\nof execution. It is singular that no monument of this class has been\nfound south of the Forth. The Spalding Club (Aberdeen) proposes to\nobtain drawings of all the stones of this description in the North of\nScotland; and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and\nwell for Mr. Chalmers has commenced his labours. Circulars have been\nsent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the North, asking for\ninformation as to the locality of any sculptured stones in their\ndistricts, but as yet answers have been obtained from only about 150. It\nis probable that where no return has been made, there is no stone of the\ndescription alluded to; but it would be desirable to know that the\nSpalding Club had exhausted the matter.\n\n    ABERDONIENSIS.\n\n51. _Prophecies of Nostradamus._--In a little work I am meditating on\nthe subject of English Popular Prophecies, I shall have occasion to\nintroduce a notice of this celebrated astrologer, whose successful\nprediction of the Great Rebellion, and consequent English popularity,\nalmost entitle him to a place among our native vaticinating worthies.\n\nThe curious prefiguration of the fate of Charles I. stands thus in the\noriginal edition of the _Prophesies_: Lyons, 1572, under the head, \"A\nmes Imprimeurs de Hongrie:\"\n\n      \"Senat de Londres mettront \u00e0 mal leur Roy.\"\n\nIn the only other edition to which I have the opportunity of referring,\nLondon, 1672, \"Translated and commented upon by Theophilus de\nGarencieres,\" it is much amplified:\n\n      \"XLIX.\n\n      \"Gand et Bruxelles marcheront contra Anvers.\n      Senat de Londres mettront _\u00e0 mort_ leur Roy.\n      Le sel et vin luy seront \u00e0 l'envers\n      Pour eux avoir le Regne or desseroy.\"\n\nThe more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the\nquatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of\nCharles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of\nearly editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England:\nbut I am told that a fine series exists in the \"Biblioth\u00e8que du Roi,\"\nand as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many\nreaders of \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" who will visit Paris this holiday time\nmay be induced to examine them, and make a note of the _earliest_\nedition in which the latter form of the prediction occurs.\n\n    SPERIEND.\n\n52. _Quaker Expurgated Bible._--In an extremely curious and interesting\nvolume entitled _Quakerism, or the Story of my Life_, I meet with the\nfollowing passage, p. 386.:\n\n  \"About four years ago, an English Friend waited on me, to request\n  me to enter my name as a subscriber to an edition of the Bible,\n  which a Committee of Friends were intending to publish. The\n  printed prospectus stated that the work was designed to be one\n  suited for daily perusal in Friends' families; that from it would\n  be carefully excluded every passage that was indelicate, and unfit\n  for reading aloud; and also those portions which might be called\n  dangerous, which it was possible the unlearned and unstable might\n  wrest to their own destruction.\"\n\nCan any of your readers tell whether this expurgated Bible was ever\npublished, and where it is to be procured?\n\nA copy of the prospectus alluded to would also be very acceptable.\n\n    T.\n\n53. _Salmon Fishery in the Thames._--This was once of great importance\nto the inhabitants of the villages upon the banks of the Thames, who\nappear to have had each their assigned bounds for their fishery. In the\nChurchwardens' Book of Wandsworth, under date 1580, is the following\nentry:\n\n  \"M.D. that this yere in so[=m]er the fishinge Rome of Wandesworthe\n  was by certen of Putney denyed, and long sute before my L.

A.\n\n\nMinor Queries Answered.\n\n_The Twentieth of the Thirty-nine Articles._--In a note to a work\nentitled _Sketches of the History of Man_, Dublin, 1779, at vol. i. p.\n104. I observe the following statement:\n\n  \"In the Act 13th of Elizabeth, anno 1571, confirming the\n  Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, these Articles are\n  not engrossed, but referred to as comprised in a printed book,\n  intitled 'Articles agreed to by the whole Clergy in Convocation\n  holden at London, 1562.' The forged clause is, 'The Church has\n  power to decree Rites and Ceremonies, and authority in\n  Controversies of Faith.' That clause is not in the Articles\n  referred to; nor the slightest hint of any authority with respect\n  to matters of faith. In the same year, 1571, the Articles were\n  printed both in Latin and English, precisely as in the year 1562.\n  But soon after came out spurious editions, in which the said\n  clause was foisted into the Twentieth Article, and continues so to\n  this day,\" &c.\n\nThis is a grave charge. Is it a true one? I have not at hand the\nauthorities by which to examine it, and therefore seek an answer from\nsome of your readers who may be able to give it. My question refers to\nthe imputation of a clause having been foisted into our Articles of\nFaith by a forgery, and still continuing in them; not to the truth of\nany part of our Articles as they now stand. To this there is sufficient\ntestimony.\n\n    CM.\n\n  London, July 25. 1851.\n\n  [The following note from p. 131. of Mr. Hardwick's recently\n  published _History of the Articles_ will furnish a reply to this\n  Query:--\n\n  \"He (Laud) was accused of forging the contested clause in Art. XX.\n  And after appealing to four printed copies of the Articles, one of\n  them as early as 1563, and all containing the passage which the\n  Puritans disliked, he added, 'I shall make it yet plainer: for it\n  is not fit concerning an Article of Religion, and an Article of\n  such consequence for the order, truth, and peace of the Church,\n  you should rely upon my copies, be they never so many or never so\n  ancient. Therefore I sent _to the public records in my office, and\n  here under my officer's hand, who is public notary, is returned to\n  me the Twentieth Article with this affirmative clause in it, and\n  there is also the whole body of the Articles to be\n  seen.'_--_Remains_, ii. 83.

The copy thus\n  taken before the destruction of the records is said to be still\n  extant; Bennet made use of it, and has printed it in his _Essay_,\n  167-169.\"]\n\n_Exons of the Guard._--Can any of your readers inform me what are the\nduties of these officers, and the derivation of their title? I find, in\nthe papers describing her Majesty's state ball, the following: \"the\nexons or capitaines exempts _de la garde du corps;_\" but that does not\nthrow much light upon the subject.\n\n    E.

Richelet describes the _Exempt_ as the officer who\n  commanded in the absence of the Lieutenant or Ensign, and who had\n  charge of the night watch. In both cases, the duties of the\n  English and French officers are completely parallel.]\n\n_Curious Monumental Inscription: \"Quos Anguis tristi.\"_--Have any of\nyour readers seen Latin verses constructed in the following curious\nmanner? I copied these many years ago from an old magazine:--\n\n      \"Qu      an      tris      di      c      vul      stra\n         os      guis      ti      ro     um       nere      vit,\n      H       san     Chris      mi      t       mu        la\n\n            Quos anguis tristi diro cum vulnere stravit,\n            Hos sanguis Christi miro tum munere lavit.\"\n\n    J.

Sc. 3.]\n\n\n\n\nReplies.\n\n\nPASSAGE IN VIRGIL.\n\n(Vol. iv., p. 24.)\n\nYour correspondent ERYX inquires, in your paper of July 12, whether\nServius's interpretation of\n\n      \"Viridesque secant placido \u00e6quore silvas.\"\n\n      Virg. _\u00c6n._ viii. 96.\n\nbe correct. I beg to reply that it is not. The interpretations of\nServius are almost invariably incorrect; Servius was a very illiterate,\nignorant, and narrow-minded man, and totally unable to understand the\nauthor whom he attempted to illustrate. His comments on Virgil resemble\nthose which we might expect a hedge schoolmaster in Yorkshire now to\nmake upon Milton. These comments, which are only valuable on account of\nthe mythological traditions which are preserved in them, have been very\ninjurious to the right understanding of Virgil.\n\nThe meaning of the passage in question is, that the \u00c6nead\u00e6 row up the\nriver among the green woods, or (literally) \"secant silvas,\" _travel the\nwoods_, \"placido \u00e6quore,\" _on the calm surface of the water_, _i. e._ by\nrowing up the placid stream of the river. This, and not that assigned by\nServius following Terentienus, is the true meaning. 1st. Because\n_secare_ with the objective case means constantly in Virgil to _travel\nalong_. Compare \"viam secat ad naves,\" _\u00c6n._ vi. 902.; \"secuit sub\nnubibus arcum,\" v. 658., &c. 2ndly. Because the Tiber is described only\nas _placid_, not as _clear_; and as appears from _\u00c6n._ vii. 31., was\nactually _very muddy_, \"multa flavus arena.\" The immediately preceding\nwords, \"variisque teguntur arboribus,\" have been pronounced by a very\nlearned critic (one who has often deserved well of Virgil) to be _idle,\notiosa_. (See Wagner ad _\u00c6n._ i. 678.) And his opinion has been\nsanctioned by the usually judicious Forbiger. But they are not idle; on\nthe contrary, they are necessary to convey the idea that the \u00c6nead\u00e6\npassed up the river _under the shade of the trees_; and so are\nsupplemental to the statement contained in the words cited by your\ncorrespondent, which inform us only that they went up the river. Hence a\nconfirmation of the correctness of the received interpretation.\n\n    JAMES HENRY.\n\n  34. Westland Row, Dublin, July 14. 1851.\n\nYour correspondent ERYX wishes to know, whether in the passage (_\u00c6neid_,\nviii. 96.)--\n\n      \"Viridesque secant placido \u00e6quore silvas,\"\n\nthe word _secant_ can legitimately convey the same idea that is\nexpressed in Tennyson's lines--\n\n            ---- \"my shallop ... clove\n      The citron shadows in the blue.\"\n\nThere can be little doubt that this well-known passage in the _\u00c6neid_ is\nthe _original_ of Tennyson's image; that, in fact, it is an excusable\nplagiarism on the part of the latter, who, in introducing, his image,\nhas, I think, missed the appropriateness, and therefore increased\nbeauty, belonging to it in the original passage of Virgil.\n\nWhen \u00c6neas is journeying up the Tiber to visit Evander, the river, in\norder to lessen his labours--\n\n      \"refluens ... substitit unda;\"\n\nbut notwithstanding this, the journey was arduous as is shown in the\n_whole_ of the three lines 94-96.\n\n      \"Olli remigio noctemque diemque fatigant,\n      Et longos superant flexes, variisque teguntur\n      Arboribus, viridesque secant pacido \u00e6quore silvas.\"\n\nThat is to say, \"They labour at the oar till night is wearied out, and\nday also is obliged to give place in its turn; they master one by one\nthe long serpentine bends of the river, and, though covered and inclosed\nby the varied foliage above them, they cut their way through the\nopposing woods, which lie, as it were, in their path in the shadowy\nsurface of the clear, still water.\"\n\nThe word _placido_ is surely sufficient to prevent any one falling into\nthe common-place interpretation alluded to by your correspondent as the\none \"usually given.\"\n\n    H.

This life ends at folio 47.\n\nThe preface to the _Oude Legende_, which next follows, states that it is\n\"gathered from the writings of his companions and the chronicles of the\norder of the Brothers Minor;\" and the \"Prologhe\" (which succeeds the\npreface) mentions--\n\n  \"Die leg[=e]de van z\u00ffn drie gesellen den spiegel der\n  volcom[=e]heyts der minderbroeders.

F. woude reysen in verre l[=a]den om dat vole te\n  bekeren e[=n] te vermaenen e[=n] v[=a] die grote tribulacie die hi\n  leet int solda[=e]s lant e[=n] hoe hi gerne martelaer hadde\n  geworden e[=n] hoe die broeders te Antiochien s\u00ffn oord[=e]\n  a[=e]naemen.\"\n\nOn which Jewish-converting martyrdom-seeking journey Dr. Geddes (in his\ncurious little work on the _Romish Orders of Monks and Friars_, Lond.\n1714) quaintly remarks:\n\n  \"A Quaker's having gone from England to Rome to convert the pope\n  to his religion, is a mighty jest with some people, who are very\n  much edified with this story of Francis's going from Italy to\n  Egypt to convert the sultan, but these two adventures do to me\n  appear to be so much alike that I shall leave it to anatomists to\n  tell whether good wits that prompt others, have not their brains\n  either made of the same size, or much in the same posture.\"\n\nThe _Oude Legende_ ends folio 44. Next follows:\n\n  \"\u00b6 Die historie van d[=e] aflaet van Sinte Maria van d[=e]\n  enghelen diem[=e] porti[=u]kel heet,\"\n\nas the preface hath it. Some of your readers may have seen an\nadvertisement respecting a series of Franciscan works (to be published,\nI think, by Richardson of Derby), entitled the _Portioncule Library_;\nand seeing in the above table of contents \"Die aflaet van Portiunkel,\"\nor the Indulgence of the _Portiunkel_, they may be at a loss to know its\nmeaning, so I shall quote a note from Mrs. Jameson's highly interesting\nand valuable work on the _Monastic Orders_, which is to the purpose:\n\n  \"The term Porzioncula means literally 'a small portion, share, or\n  allotment.' The name was given to a slip of land, of a few acres\n  in extent, at the foot of the hill of Assisi, and on which stood a\n  little chapel; both belonged to a community of Benedictines, who\n  afterwards bestowed the land and the chapel on the brotherhood of\n  S. Francis. This chapel was then familiarly known as the 'Capella\n  della Porzioncula.' Whether the title by which it has since become\n  famous as the S. Maria-degli-Angeli belonged to it originally, or\n  because the angels were heard singing around and above it at the\n  time of the birth of St. Francis, does not seem clear. At all\n  events this chapel became early sanctified as the scene of the\n  ecstasies and visions of the saint; here also S. Clara made her\n  profession. Particular indulgences were granted to those who\n  visited it for confession and repentance on the fifth of August\n  and it became a celebrated place of pilgrimage in the fourteenth\n  century. Mr. Ford tells us, that in Spain the term _Porzioncula_\n  is applied generally to distinguish the chapel or sanctuary\n  dedicated to St. Francis within the Franciscan churches. The\n  original chapel of the Porzioncula now stands in the centre of the\n  magnificent church which has been erected over it.\"\n\nIn the \"Legende\" of St. Anthony of Padua, chap. vii. fol. ccxx., we have\nthat saint's \"sermo ad pisces\" in the city of Rimini, _die vol ketters\nwas_, and the conversion therefrom of the said _ketters_ or heretics.\n\nThe \"Prologhe\" to the narrative \"van die v\u00fff Martelaren,\" fol.\nclxxviii., commences, \"Ego quasi Vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris\nalo cen[=e] w\u00ffngaert,\" &c.: here we learn why the work is called _Den\nW\u00ffngaert_, or _The Vine_.\n\nIn the \"tractat v[=a] S. F. orden e[=n] reghele,\" at fol. cccxxix., we\nhave an account of Brother Agnellus of Pisa his mission to England in\n1224.\n\nIn the \"Getal der broeder[=e] e[=n] prouintien,\" at fol. cccci., we\nlearn that at that time (1518) England had 7 convents and 200 friars;\nIreland 15 convents and 400 friars; and Scotland 8 convents and 120\nfriars.\n\nThe \"Kalendier\" which follows this \"Getal\" is printed in red and black.\n\n\"Den aflaet v[=a] rom[=e]\" is the last tract in the book. Here is the\nfinis:\n\n  \"\u00b6 Hier eyndt b\u00ff de gratie gods dat derde boec v[=a] desen\n  w\u00ffngaert die mit groten arbeyt wt veel duct[=e]tel\u00ffcke scrift[=e]\n  wten lat\u00ffne vergadert e[=n] nu eerst translateert is, ter eer[=e]\n  des heylighe confessors Sinte Franciscus e[=n] ten prof\u00ffte v[=a]\n  allen gueden kenten menschen.\n\n  \"\u00b6 Hier na volcht di tafele.\"\n\nAfter the \"tafel\" or index occur some verses containing seventy-three\nlines, eulogistic of the saint.\n\nI forgot to mention that in the _Oude Legende_ some of St. Francis's\npoems are given, translated from the Italian originals: at fol. cxxii.\nis given the \"Canticum solis,\" part of which Sir James Stephen quotes in\nhis sketch of the saint's life.\n\nI have Query to make, but must defer it to another time, as I have\nalready taken up enough of your paper.\n\n    JARLTZBERG.\n\n\n\"JUSJURANDUM PER CANEM\"\n\n(Vol. iii., p. 192.).--\n\n\"SEDEM ANIM\u00c6 IN DIGITIS PONUNT\"\n\n(Vol. ii., p. 464.).--\n\n\"FIAT JUSTITIA, RUAT COELUM\"\n\n(Vol. ii., p. 494.).\n\nAn extraordinary mode of swearing, akin to the oaths already noticed,\nis recorded by Ysbrant Ides in his _Travels from Moscow to China_\n(London, 1705, and reprinted in the second volume of Harris's\nCollection):--\n\n  \"Two Tunguzian hostages falling out, one accused the other before\n  the Waywode (or Viceroy) of having conjured his deceased brother\n  to death. The Waywode asked the accuser if he would, according to\n  the Tunguzian custom, put the accused to his oath? To this he\n  answered in the affirmative; after which the accused took a _live\n  dog_, laid him on the ground, and with a knife stuck him into the\n  body, just under his left foot, and immediately clapped his mouth\n  to the wound, and sucked out the dog's blood as long as he could\n  come at it; after which he lift him up, laid him on his shoulders,\n  and clapped his mouth again to the wound in order to suck out the\n  remaining blood. An excellent drink indeed! And this is the\n  greatest oath and most solemn confirmation of the Truth amongst\n  them; so that on credit of this the accused was set free, and the\n  accuser punished for his false accusation.\"\n\nThe dog, designed, as Cicero observes, for man's use, was doubtless\nselected for his sagacity and faithfulness; and by Loccenius, in his\n_Leges W. Gothic\u00e6_, \"tria canum capita\" are stated to have been\n\"Hunnorum gentis insignia,\" the progenitors of the Tunguzians, p. 107.\nIn Northern Europe \"sanguine Deos placari creditum; canibus etiam cum\nhominibus permist\u00e8 in luco suspensis.\" (_Ibid._ p. 105.)\n\nAmong the northern nations, not only their testimoniary oaths were thus\nsanctioned by blood, but their confederative also, in which their\nfraternisation was symbolised by reciprocal transfusion of blood.\n\n      \"Dear as the blood that warms my heart.\"\n\n      Gray's _Bard_.\n\nIt was the custom of the Scythians \"non dextras tantum implicare, sed\npollices mutuo vincire, nodoque perstringere; mox sanguine in artus\nextremos se effundente levi ritu _cruorem elicere_, atque invicem\nlambere.\" (Hanseanius _De Jurejurando Verterum_.) Quintus Curtius\nremarks that among the Hindoos (between whom and the Scythians Sir W.\nJones and other ethnographers have observed various traces of affinity)\nthe joining of right hands was their usual mode of salutation; \"dextra\nfidei sedes.\"\n\nEn passant, I have elsewhere seen the opinion quoted by a correspondent\n(Vol. ii., p. 464), \"Sedem anim\u00e6 in digitis ponunt,\" attributed to the\nHindoos. Query, Has not the profession of [Greek: thel\u00eatai] (see Dr.\nMaitland on _Mesmerism_) prevailed among them? Their propensity to\nconjuring is so proverbial, that, according to a writer in the _Asiatic\nResearches_, that term is derived from one of their tribes. See also on\ntheir witchcrafts, Acosta's _East and West Indies_, chap. xxvi.\n\nBefore I dismiss the subject of swearing, permit me to observe what\nappears to me to be the origin of the apothegm \"Fiat Justitia, ruat\nCoelum\" (Vol. ii., p. 494.), which, with a slight change, was afterwards\nadopted by Ferdinand, emperor of Austria.\n\nMay it not have originated in an oath similar to that of Chaganus, king\nof the Huns, recorded by Otrokoesi, in his _Histori\u00e6 Hungaric\u00e6_?--\n\n  \"Abarico ritu jusjurandum ad hunc modum pr\u00e6stitit. Ense edueto et\n  in altum sublato sibi et Abaricorum genti dira imprecatus _si quid\n  mali_, &c. _Coelum_ ex alto ipsis et Deus Ignis qui in coelo est,\n  _irrueret_.\"\n\nMore sententiously he may have said: \"Fiat [a me] justitia, [in me] ruat\nCoelum, [si non].\"\n\nOn the inviolability of oaths among the heathens, in addition to the\nworks referred to in Vol. iii., p. 192., see _Gentleman's Magazine_,\nvol. i. p. 415.; on the singular notion, in the fourteenth century, of\nthe harmlessness of colloquial and affirmative oaths, see _Arch\u00e6ologia_,\nvol. xx. p. 43.; and on the opposition made by the Lollards to this\nunchristian practice, Purvey's _Remonstrance against the Corruptions of\nthe Church of Rome_, edited by the Rev. J. Forshall, London, 1851.\n\n    T. J.\n\n\nHUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS.\n\n(Vol. iii. p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.)\n\nThe querist on Hugh Holland and his works, must be content with a reply\nof unvarnished brevity.\n\n1. \"Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean?\"--The lines\nare from the _Cypress garland_ of Hugh Holland, 1625. 4to. The meaning\nis obvious. I assume that Holland may be trusted as to his own age, to\nwhich Wood gives no clue.\n\n2. \"Who says he did not quit Westminster school till 1589?\"--Wood says\nhe was bred in Westminster school, and \"elected into Trinity coll. in\nCambridge, an. 1589.\" Welch, from official documents, gives the same\ndate. Wood nowhere states that he \"matriculated at Baliol in 1582.\"\n\n3. \"My words are, '_about_ 1590 he succeeded to a fellowship.'\"--Wood\nsays he was elected to Trinity college in 1589, \"of which he was\n_afterwards_ fellow.\" It may have been some years afterwards.\n\n4. \"Why does not MR. CORNEY give your readers his interpretation of the\nmysterious H. H.?\"--He reserved it for another occasion, but now\nconsents to satisfy the curiosity of the querist and others.\n\nIn 1632 Henry Holland dedicated to Charles I. an English version of the\n_Cyrvp\u00e6dia_ of Xenophon, made by his father Philemon Holland. In the\ndedication, which is signed at length, he says:\n\n  \"Also, when any unworthy selfe (anno 1620) offred mine owne\n  collections, entituled _Herwologia Anglica_, unto his highnesse\n  [James I.], he most graciously received it.\"\n\nIn 1614 appeared, under the initials \"H. H.,\" the _Monvmenta\nsepvlchraria sancti Pavli_, and in the address _ad lectorem_ we read:\n\n  \"Et non sol\u00f9m nomine bonus appellatus est [sc. Alex. Nowel], sed\n  etiam et in vita sua bonitas apparuit, et in morte bona sua opera\n  illum sunt sequuta, et uberi\u00f9s et fusi\u00f9s in _Effigiebus_ nostris\n  et _vitis illustrium Anglorum_ cum de Coleto tum de illo apparet:\n  (qu\u00e6 nunc transmarino habitu vestiend\u00e6 sunt) quare hic illum\n  pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus.\"\n\nHere is unanswerable evidence that Henry Holland was the compiler of\nboth works. In the catalogue of the Grenville collection of books, now\nin the British Museum, both works are ascribed to Hugh Holland.\n\n5. \"The edition of 1614 was certainly the first, and that of 1633\n_certainly_ the second.\"--The querist adopts my correction of his\nthreefold error, and calls it an _answer_!\n\n6. \"I shall therefore leave the shade of Cole and MR. BOLTON CORNEY to\nsettle the question as to whether any such work exists.\"--The querist\ndid not perceive that the _Roxana of Alexander_ was an error for the\n_Roxana of Alabaster_--so he endeavours to draw off the attention of his\nreaders from this proof of critical obtuseness by a common-place\nwitticism.\n\nI must describe the facile process by which our querist has obtained his\napparent triumph. Wood, at the close of his article on Hugh Holland the\npoet, which is chiefly derived from the _Worthies_ of Fuller, mentions\none Hugh Holland as admitted B.A. in 1570, and another Hugh Holland as\nmatriculated at Baliol college in 1582, aged twenty-four; with others of\nthat surname. He adds, \"but whether any of them were authors, I cannot\nyet tell, or _whether the last was the same with the poet_. Qu.\" Now,\nwith regard to the first and second articles, our querist omits the\nsentence which proves the inapplicability of his quotations! and with\nregard to the third article, he omits the word _afterwards_, which forms\nthe gist of the argument.\n\n    BOLTON CORNEY.\n\n\nLADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST.\n\n(Vol. iv., p. 44.)\n\n\"Assertion is not proof,\" and it surely does require _proof_ ere we\nconsent to brand a writer of unimpeached character with the charge of \"a\nshameless, heartless act of literary piracy.\"\n\nIt rests with ERZA to bring forward his or her _proof_ that the lines in\ndispute were written by Lady Flora. ERZA asserted that they were \"never\nbefore printed.\" I have enabled him or her to satisfy himself or herself\nthat they were in print _nearly_ twelve years ago. I am disposed to\nbelieve ERZA equally mistaken in the assertion as to the authorship of\nthe lines. If this prove so, the imputation cast upon Miss Barber will\nrevert upon her accuser, and will demand the most ample apology.\n\nI do not know Miss Barber; her writings I have long admired; and having\nbeen the means of drawing down upon her such an accusation, I am not\ndisposed to let the inquiry terminate here. Nor can I believe the Editor\nof \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" will desire that either a literary error or a\ngroundless slander should descend to posterity in his pages.\n\n    L. H. K.\n\nERZA cannot entertain a higher respect than I do for the memory of Lady\nFlora Hastings; but I am sure no member of her family would countenance\nany attempt to exalt her reputation at the expense of another's; and I\nfear ERZA, however unintentionally, has fallen into this error. The\nstanzas she attributed to Lady Flora, as L. H. K. stated (Vol. iii., p.\n522.), were published as Miss M. A. S. Barber's in _The Christian Lady's\nMagazine_ for September, 1839, only two months after Lady Flora's death.\nIn the preceding number, as L. H. K. also correctly stated, is a brief\nmemoir of Lady Flora, in which it is said, that shortly before her death\nshe \"delivered to her fond brother a little Bible, the gift of her\nmother, requesting him to restore it to that beloved parent,\" &c. ERZA\nmay be unacquainted with that publication, but I can assure her that\nLady Flora's brother, my esteemed and lamented patron, was not; for\nshortly after the number appeared, I found it lying on his table, in his\nown private room at Donington Park, and, while waiting to see him,\npartly read it there myself for the first time. I know not whether he\never read the lines in question in the succeeding number, but I know the\n_Magazine_ was regularly taken by some of Lady Flora's intimate friends,\nand I cannot suppose they would allow any poem of hers to pass unnoticed\nfor twelve years, with the signature of Miss Barber attached to it.\nIndeed the stanzas bear internal evidence of being written after Lady\nFlora's death, and founded on the account given by _Charlotte Elizabeth_\nin the preceding number. If, however, ERZA still persists in attributing\nthem to Lady Flora Hastings, she is in duty bound to give her authority,\nand not bring such a heavy accusation against Miss Barber on the bare\nassertion of an anonymous correspondent. If Miss Barber really composed\nthe stanzas, as I believe she did, she was doubtless actuated with a\ndesire to honour the memory and character of Lady Flora; and in such\ncase nothing could be more cruel and unjust than the conduct imputed to\nher by ERZA. Unfortunately I do not know Miss Barber's address, or\nwhether she is still living; but if any of your readers do, I hope they\nwill name this case to her, or her friends, that her reputation may be\ncleared from the imputation thus rashly cast on it. If the case cannot\nthus be satisfactorily settled, I will obtain the desired information\nfrom another quarter; but I hope ERZA will also offer the assistance in\nher power towards this desirable object; and to set the example of\ncandour and openness, I will subscribe my real name.\n\n    W.

The name of the noble family to\nwhich he was related will be the best criterion.\n\nBy the way, was there not sometime since a proposal for erecting by\nsubscription a worthy monument to a poet whose memory every Christian\nmust revere? In whose hands was this project, and with whom does its\nexecution rest?\n\n    THOS. MCCALMONT.\n\n  Highfield, near Southampton, July 22. 1851.\n\nIn my humble opinion, Coke is the old English form of writing _cook_,\nfrom A.-Sax. \"c\u00f3c.\" See Chaucer's _Coke's Tale_, and _Cock Lorrell's\nBote_, where we read \"Drouers, Cokes, and pulters;\" and in this same\npoem occurs the line, \"Carpenters, _coupers_, and ioyners.\" See also\nunder Cooper in Pegge's _Anecdotes of the English Language_; the names,\nas thus pronounced, are rendered significant.\n\nShould it be asked how we ought to pronounce the name of another poet,\nviz. Cowley, if Cowper be called Cooper, I answer that they are from\ndifferent roots: that Cowley is from _cow_, and _ley_, signifying cow\npasture, or place for cows; and that Cowper is only another form of\nCooper: not but that in the north they pronounce _cow_ as _coo_, and,\ntherefore, they would call him Cooley.\n\n    THOS.

The examples are innumerable, but the\n_latest_ instance I remember is the Duchess of Queensbury addressing\nPatty Blount in 1756 as \"Mrs. Blount;\" though, no doubt, Patty was, by\n_that time_, entitled to what is called _brevet_ rank.\n\n    C.\n\n_Book Plates_ (Vol. iii., p. 495.; Vol. iv., p. 46.).--MR.

It consists of his armorial bearings, surmounted by a helmet, &c.,\napparently indicative of nobility; but the tinctures not being\nexpressed, I cannot give the blazon.
